Let's play spot the errors with Russel

Here's an exercise for economics students. Go through Russel's recent homily on why the Greens are needed to save capitalism from itself, and see how many fundamental economic errors you can spot. I count eight, which isn't bad in just 549 words. How many can you do? I'll wager that Austrians and students of economic history will do better than others.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
