Careless critics

Thomas E. Woods, who has a good book out about the recent financial turmoil and the bone-headed reactions to it, has this excellent piece on the sort of nonsense written about the supposed villains of this story. As he notes, when a leftist author cannot even be arsed to spell FA Hayek’s name properly, you tend to suspect the author has never read the person he is attacking. Or maybe they think Salma Hayek is an economist. (Great excuse for a gratuitous link, Ed).
