When Russ Roberts rewrites some typically hysterical economic reporting, it's a thing of beauty.  But I still prefer his regular blogging. :-)

If I were an English teacher, I would scold you for verb's mood confusion.

Hey Professor Caplan,

The subjunctive mood in English grammar *is* a dying art form, but most sticklers still agree it is technically correct.

The title for this blog post should have been "If Russ Roberts Were a Journalist..."

Liberty Fund logo, amagi symbol
The cuneiform inscription in the Liberty Fund logo is the earliest-known written appearance of the word "freedom" (amagi), or "liberty." It is taken from a clay document written about 2300 B.C. in the Sumerian city-state of Lagash.
