Paul vs Paul

I've considered classes at Mises or FEE and have actually listened in on many of their podcast seminars. EconTalk with Russ Roberts at Georgetown is good too.

Yes, meant to say his followers.

Truman? His followers followed the conditions of the Bretton Woods system, as did forty four other countries.

When the war ended, his followers want to continue the economic centrally planned on a war-time footing. Congress rejected that.

That would be a great start - I have a good friend who's a Harvard educated economics professor at West Point (Military Academy) who teaches online classes on the side at Post University, if you ask me, if you could find something like that, that would be the best of both worlds or rather more bang for your buck.

I just got rid of my 2009 F-150 for a Tundra - to change it up I suppose, I'd had a Dodge before that which I hated and a GMC that was alright, I waited too long now that GMC stopped having four way steering as an option (if I'm driving my truck I'm more than likely towing the boat) - I really liked that option. I even considered buying a used GMC to get that option til I test drove the Tundra.

Congress didn't reject the Truman Doctrine or the Marshall Plan.

[Chris]

They rejected Truman's plan to follow FDR and keep a wartime economy in place domestically. Taft-Hartley alone is demonstration of that. For more see What Ended the Great Depression? or Stimulus by Spending Cuts: Lessons from 1946 as it relates to today's economic crisis.

Mankiw is at Harvard, a conservative, right, but a neoKeynesian, too much of a saltwater economist, I prefer sweetwater.

Yes, Mankiw is at Harvard. I read an essay written by Mankiw awhile back that was pretty neat - he made a case for both sides of an argument (I think it was on stabilization) that I thought was very clever.

I'm fairly certain my friend (who is not a neoKeynesian) is a mix between several schools of thought, not adhering to any directly though. At West Point he teaches Intro to ECON and a Microeconomics course.

A mix is best. Paul v Paul is a contrast of extremes. Out of the disagreement--and I hope I don't sound to Marxian/Hegelian, emerges interesting ideas.

Yet the US hastened the difference eagerly accommodating liquidity by proxy of the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan. In today's dollars we're talking about a hundred and fifty eight billion dollars on the low end and on the upper end somewhere around four hundred and twenty five billion dollars worth.
