摘要:It is a pleasure and an exhilarating experience to find myself embroiled in a debate with my good friend, colleague, and, indeed, mentor,1 Hans-Hermann Hoppe. I always knew he was a world-class scholar, and his latest missive,2 the one to which I am now replying, yet once again greatly impresses this upon me. It focuses the mind to be the recipient of one of his keen and insightful analyses. I greatly appreciate, of course, the lack of any venom or name-calling3 in his latest response to my previous publications in this thread.4 Rather, with single-minded determination, he cuts to the essence of the issue. This sort of debate, I think, raises the level of public discourse. Hoppe is so crystal clear in his thinking that it must be a person of the meanest intelligence who would not gain, and significantly so, from a perusal of this article of his.
