Got an excellent educational opportunity forwarded from HALC member Barry Klein. If you’re economics-oriented, please check it out.

Robert Murphy, Austrian Economist with a Ph.D. from NYU and frequent contributor to the Ludwig von Mises Institute
On Friday, May 8 12:00pm, the HPRA speaker will be hosting Robert Murphy, A Ph.D. economist associated with the Mises Institute.
Mr. Murphy will be discussing and signing copies of his new book, “The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Great Depression and the New Deal“
As the Obama administration tries to duplicate the “success” of FDR and Keynesian theory in rescuing the American economy from a severe contraction this is an opportunity to learn what members of the economics profession have revealed in the years since the New Deal was launched.
From a description of the book (http://www.mises.org/store/Politically-Incorrect-Guide-to-the-Great-Depression-and-the-New-Deal-P580.aspx):
To sample Mr. Murphy’s oeuvre: http://mises.org/articles.aspx?AuthorId=380.
