AUSTRIAN ECONOMICS ADDICT

This Start Up Has Figured Out How To Grow Metal Like A Tree, Katie Fehrenbacher, at entrepreneur.com. Modumetal is a company produces metal through a process similar to electroplating. “It is creating nanolaminated materials that will change design and manufacturing forever.” These stories give me hope that individuals in the market can outpace the growth of the regulatory state.

NASA’s 3D-Printed Rocket Parts Actually Work, by Drew Olanoff, at techcrunch.com. This is an example of what 3D printing is capable of. What normally takes four years to produce, now takes half the time.

How Big Is Uber? at econnoimcpolicyjournal.com. Even a government created monopoly like the taxi cartel is in danger of being beaten by individuals with an ides. Central planners plans are being overturned by the evil consumer, now that the consumer has a real choice.

The New Era Of The $400 Text Book, at economicpolicyjournal.com. Just part of the Government created bubble in college education.

The Gradual Phase-In of $15 and Hour Minimum Wage Laws as Insurance Policies Against Public Relations Disasters, by Mark J. Perry, at carpediemblog. The gradual phase in of interventionist policies shows that  interventionists understand the consequences of their policies. Remember how Obamacare was passed but not implemented until after the 2012 presidential election? Some of the Obamacare policies have yet to be implemented.
