In which I apologize yet again...

I know things have been quiet here lately. I do have a few things in the hopper, so stay tuned...

Conscience Warrior Store

We are pleased to announce this week the launch of the Conscience Warrior Store. The Store is powered by Amazon, and will include books, films, and other products that may be of interest to readers of Conscience Warrior. 

All transactions made in the Store will be handled by Amazon. In the interest of full disclosure, CW will receive a small fee for each transaction. That said, all products listed in the Store are actually endorsed by CW, with the exception of those listed in the 'Similar Items' sidebar, which are generated by Amazon's magic algorithms.

If you have any comments or suggestions regarding the Store, please email here.

Demand Side Economics

Conscience Warrior has a new reader in the person of Alan Harvey, chief cook and bottlewasher over at Demand Side Economics. He very generously mentioned us in the most recent episode of his podcast. While I don't subscribe to every last detail of his views, I think we are in broad agreement on the way in which the world works, and as to what the best solutions are to the problems we face.

He published Demand Side: The Book last year, which compiles the ideas of some of the great minds of economics past and present into a sort of field guide to modern markets and the macroeconomy.

Mr Harvey also maintains the excellent forecasting site re: Macro Baseline.

Voting Information

In one week's time, the 2012 iteration of our greatest national holiday, Election Day, will be upon us. As many states have instituted Early Voting, the wonders of the ritual are available to be enjoyed for as many as thirty days in advance of the day itself.

Conscience Warrior encourages all whom this post may reach to do the most patriotic act an American can do: Vote! Familiarize yourself with your choices and find your local polling place here.

Introducing...

I am running a guest post today by Richard Hammer. Mr Hammer is a graduate student in economics at North Carolina State University and has written extensively on limited government and related topics.

Mr Hammer's views are his own; I am merely providing a forum for discussion. His post will appear shortly.

[Full Disclosure Announcement]

I took part in a seminar on deficits and debt this last Friday at NC State. The seminar was made possible by a grant from the Koch Foundation. As a participant, I received a modest stipend. In accordance with previously stated policy, I am disclosing that fact.

Welcome

This site is a forum for the discussion of economic and political issues. I am an economics student at North Carolina State University. I appreciate any commentary and constructive criticism, and look forward to discussing economics and politics with you. Many thanks for reading!
