See You After Christmas

Steven Horwitz

An early Merry Christmas to all of our readers who celebrate the holiday.  (And a lump of coal to Brad DeLong.)  Tomorrow I'm headed down to the place that Pete would call "the land of your people", namely Miami, from where I will be embarking, along with my whole family, on a week's cruise in the Caribbean.  On the Carnival "Liberty" no less!

There will be no blogging aboard ship.  Not even any commenting.  In a world of sunshine, warm temps, casino gambling, and zero marginal cost food, blogging doesn't make the "to-do" list.  (Reading Deirdre McCloskey does, however.)

Have a great holiday all and carry on the usual bickering in my absence.  And be sure to set your DVRs for 8pm on Tuesday 12/21 to catch me on "Freedom Watch" again, this time in a terrific episode on central banking.  The Judge's closing rant is a classic.

Funny, Steve, I did not know that you were at least part Seminole Indian. That is why you're going down to be with "your people" in Florida -- right?.

Happy holiday voyage, Steve, or however you'd say it in Seminole.

(It is amazing how well you "pass" for Jewish!)

Have a great Christmas. We won't be jealous of your Caribbean cruise. No, we won't. :-)

Great cruise, Steve. And best wishes for the holidays.

This is a worry Steve, you guys are apparently still at war with the US.

Just got back from a Disney cruise and enjoyed every minute of it. I especially enjoyed telling everyone electronically I was sitting in Nassau in shorts in the sub tropical sun keeping up with my obligations as snow fell here at home. Don't underestimate the psychological reward of blogging from an exotic local and mentioning it:) Plus I noticed a few Austrian examples on my cruise that I intend to think about some more as well as one question I would like to pursue; what is there to be learned by the composition of the nationalities of the cruise ship crew and how has that composition changed over time?

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas! Your blog is great.
Best,

[David Hillary]

of course the food doesn't have a zero marginal cost but a zero marginal price. Perhaps when you get back you'll tell us if you think they should charge a non-zero marginal price for food served.

Steve,

It doesn't matter if you're Seminole, Jewish, or just the world's 28th stupidest economist (:-), have a nice trip. And if you see the Fattest 'Economist' Alive, have him arrested for impersonating an ecomomist.
We're looking forward to seeing you rise in the rankings next year.

[Mario Rizzo]

I am confused. Will Brad DeLong be there too?!

[William B]

I am convinced that instead of a Paul Krugman vs. Bob murphy debate we need Brad Delong vs. Steve Horwitz. I'm just afraid people will go to a econ debate and a hockey game will break out! Anyway, thanks for contributing to this blog and I hope everyone has a happy holidays!

Merry Christmas! I'll be on the same ship a couple weeks later...

Dry skin needs extra moisturizing formulas that can restore the proper levels of hydration to the face. Normal skin is not dried out and not oily to the touch. But even understanding the three basic types of skin conditions, there some men that have combinations of two or even all three skin types.
