The American Conservative Welcomes Noah Millman
I’ve admired Noah’s writing at The American Scene and elsewhere for some time, and now I’m delighted to announce that he’s joined us as a blogger. Check out his self-introduction, as well as his provocative first posts: on whether the Fed, the mortgage mess, and Wall Street really caused the recession — indeed, Noah reverses the Austrian line and asks of whether bursting bubbles aren’t worth the lower unemployment that inflationary monetary policy brings — and on making shibboleths of Ron Paul and Martin Luther King.

Welcome, Noah Millman.
“Everything Old Is Neo Again” was one of the best book reviews TAC ever published, and I too have been equally impressed by him. Didn’t realize just how “liberal” he was, if that’s even the word. Much less did I realize his personal background. Have we at last found the neocon Whittaker Chambers?!
“Noah reverses the Austrian line and asks of whether bursting bubbles aren’t worth the lower unemployment that inflationary monetary policy brings”
I should point out that economics is a value-free science and, while most Austrian economists may be of the opinion that bubbles aren’t worth the bursts, the “Austrian line” says nothing on that.
There must have been a less self defacing way to say to Paleo’s, “Your not welcome here.”
