Hi fellow Homo Sapiens (the most intelligent species in the known universe). My name is Michael R Stoddard. I am 58 years old (about one third of the way to my dirt nap) and am a practicing CPA and CFP. I count myself among the very few that believe that freedom really works. Not only do we constantly hear about market failures but also freedom failures (1984 doublespeak). My goal with this site is to share what I have learned about how to find freedom and prosperity in an Unfree World (homage to Harry Browne) AND with your help Liberate the Planet. I am looking forward to gaining from your insights and wisdom. This site encourages a dialectical discussion. I thrive on FEEDBACK and DIALOGUE.
SO, please, please read the blogs carefully and provide thoughtful commentary! Reason is our most powerful tool.
My baggage: I believe Freedom REALLY works! I am an unrepentant libertarian with a strong grounding in Austrian Economics (eg: I have read Human Action by Ludwig von Mises at least 20 times – go to Mises.org). I believe in you and me. Those who have influenced me most are – Aristotle, Leonardo de Fibonacci, Ayn Rand, Ludwig von Mises, Murray Rothbard, Fredrich von Hayek, Harry Browne, David Friedman, Kevin Kelly, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, James Clavell, Robert Heinlein.

- Bad Monetary Policy Is Redundant September 3, 2010The Austrian theory of the trade cycle explains why the Fed's below-market interest rates invariably lead to a correction known as the bust. The theory is not new. Why has it been so out of favor with most economists? […]George F. Smith

- If a Pure Market Economy Is So Good, Why Doesn't It Exist? September 3, 2010By eliminating the analytical straightjacket imposed by neoclassical economics, economists could have a lot more to offer about how to improve the world. They would start thinking about changing preferences, not just incentives. […]Edward Stringham
- Sir Thomas Smith: Mercantilist for Sound Money September 2, 2010Rothbard shows that Gresham's law was introduced not by Sir Thomas Gresham but by the "arrogant, boorish, and feisty" Sir Thomas Smith the Elder (1513–1577), a bitter critic of debasement who was exiled from the court in 1549. He fought back with a book. […]Murray N. Rothbard

Some months ago you posted on youtube “The Incredible Bread Machine Film”, from a black-and-white copy of the 1975 TV broadcast. I’m pleased that someone discovered it after all this time. It really comes across much better in color, and since I made the original film, I have a DVD copy of the complete film in color. If you are interested in posting the original color version in place of the b&w, please contact me. It’s interesting how relevant that film is today. T.K.
