The Milkman's Coming: Forced Exercise

I thought loosely about a series of posts on our road to the Free World.  Turns out, this will be easier than I expected.  Here's another article about a concept I explore in The Milkman:  Forced Exercise.  It's from Andrew Leonard, who I've been following for years.  It's creepy, people.  Creepy because of the understandable logic.

Five Things I Learned

Nicholas Kaufman honored me with a post on his Website, which discusses the scariest parts of books.  I'm very thankful for the chance to continue my crusade to get economics listed as a horror sub-genre.   Or at least, Statistics.

Invisible Hand and Animal Spirits

Carole Gill let me guest blog on her Website, which is wonderful and kind of her. She writes spooky stuff, and while The Milkman wouldn't be shelved that way at the book store, there is enough scary stuff for her tastes. I keep telling people, economics is frightening. Worse than zombies.
