Okay, I've posted an utter... um... lot of videos of analysts from PDAC, and videos of analysts who were at PDAC but the videos were from not at PDAC.
But I've failed to include any Jeff Berwick.
It's not because I don't find the guy likeable or anything, it's just that honestly I've gone digging and haven't found him on BNN, or being interviewed on Kitco TV, or anywhere.
As it turns out, though, I have now found a video of him, speaking in San Diego last fall.
I truly, strongly, earnestly, whole-heartedly suggest that you watch it in its entirety. All 47 minutes of it. Because you should not be allowed to go through life without having listened to Jeff Berwick.
Really, honestly, truly. The only people who should get a free pass in this are guys like me who already spent years debating Libertopians on talk.politics.libertarian and have thus already gained an intimate understanding of Ayn Rand, Ludwig von Mises, Chicago School Economics, Ragnar Redbeard, and Max Stirner.
So, here it is again. Watch it.
Dude, I don't care. I'm going to keep putting it in front of you til you watch it.
Sigh... okay, if you're one of those lazy property-confiscating socialist cockroach types who can't be arsed to get up off their butt just to watch a good 47 minute libertarian talk, then at least watch this, an 8-minute pre-PDAC interview by (wait for it... wait for it... wait for it...) Daniela Cambone (there we go!) that gives you an entirely insufficient and disappointingly superficial introduction to the mind of Jeff Berwick.
Please, just watch it. You really need to listen to this guy.

The good news is that i managed to start a nice chatty conversation with somebody at Starbucks today thanks to this post. The chat began when neighbour leaned over and said (translation): "Excuse me, what's so funny? Why are you laughing so much?"
ReplyDeleteThat's always the first step to liberating yourself from the statist socialist fascist apparatus.
ReplyDeleteYeah let`s all change our money into pesos ( http://blogs.ft.com/beyond-brics/2011/02/07/argentina-cant-print-enough-pesos/#axzz1oepBOV9L)
ReplyDeleteand move down to Argentina, a really libertarian land...just make sure you don`t challenge the government inflation statistics or you can be prosecuted...
P.S. Otto having a 6 soles latte sitting in a leather sofa and checking his ibook at à posh Starbucks in fancy Lambramani Mall...not exactly the way I picture him in my mind ;)
Starbucks?!? Really? It would be disheartening to find out that Peru's finest java is served at Starbucks. Please tell me it isn't so.
ReplyDeleteHey. Go easy on the guy. Starbucks probably just happens to be between the Tiffany's and the one newsagent in town that sells the WSJ.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I like starbucks, simple as that and not ashamed of it. Coffee is good, service smart and the place always reminds me that i'm a gringo and there's no use fighting facts. There is one better coffee house in town but it's a bit far away to be convenient...and the starbucks i go to is right next to my bank and the supermarket i use. It's not that Lambramani one though, can't be doing with malls bar small doses when necessary. Wrapping up, the capucchino venti is 9 soles, dude. And nothing made by Apple owned here, I'm a happy camper with my 4kg HP laptop and a backpack to cart it round with.
ReplyDeleteI like Starbucks too. I don't understand why the commies always smash them up, since as I've always said it's the only place that will hire a student with an MA in Queer Theory and pay them $14/hr. And that's a living wage even in Toronto.
ReplyDeleteBut I've always had a hate-on for the bastion of middle-class proletarianism, Tim Horton's.
