Julian Simon - The Doomslayer - The man who debunked radical environmentalism.

[98Tokay]

This is a great introduction to Julian Simon, one of the greatest economists of the 20th century (and certainly the most under-appreciated).

Simon used hard facts and sound logic to debunk the claims of radical environmentalists who predicted disaster. He showed that overpopulation is a myth, endangered species aren't really endangered, and that freedom and liberty are the keys to human prosperity.

He's pretty cool, and he died way too young. He was a hardcore libertarian too.

What a shame he died so soon.

What a shame he died so soon.

As a friend said once, "the great tragedy of the Nobel Prize is that Julian Simon died before it could be given to him."
