Interviews Again

Investing in the IT Staff - with Gino Macarroni

So You Think You Know What a Recruiter Thinks? - with Diane Plymale

The Road to Serfdom - The Comic Book

I had the great pleasure of reading and re-reading Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" many, many years ago. I may be the only person I know who's actually read he philosophical foundation of Capitalism and free markets.

I continue to run into references to the greatness of Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom". Someday I'll have to read it. In the meantime, for us with short attention spans, here's the comic.

More Stubborn Facts

Here are the results of last year's Cash for Clunkers program. I haven't watched it closely but it seems that the federal tax credits for a home purchase expired at the end of May. I know there was a flurry of buying

I suspect the housing market will recover to normal levels soon.
