So, You Think You’re a Libertarian?
Then do the Libertarian Purity Test and see just how hardcore you really are!
Created by Bryan Caplan, it is “intended to measure how libertarian you are. It isn’t intended to be any sort of McCarthyite purging device — just a form of entertainment, hopefully thought-provoking. I like it a lot better than the more famous “World’s Shortest Political Quiz” because I haven’t stated the questions with any intent to give an upward bias to a test-taker’s score, and because it gives a clearer breakdown between hard and soft-core libertarians. Enjoy, suggest your friends try it out, and see how you compare to other test-takers…”
So, just how Libertarian are you?
(I scored an even 100 out of a possible 160)

- Economic debate in 2012 February 8, 2012I have an op-ed in The Drum that talks about the two approaches to economic policy in 2012. Both government and opposition want to talk about economics – very exciting for policy wonks, not so exciting for everyone else. But the bottom line is this: Julia Gillard and Wayne Swan can huff and puff as [...]Sinclair Davidson

- Rebate should not be means tested February 8, 2012The government’s three-year long effort to means-test the subsidy for private health insurance (PHI) is about to move into top gear. We should brace ourselves for a barrage of spin and nonsense. Although an advocate of spending cuts and smaller government, I hope this particular measure fails to gain the necessary support from independents to get across the […]Robert Carling
- Auto industry privileges are irresponsible February 8, 2012A program of perpetual subsidies for any industry is both economically irresponsible and morally unfair.
