Entry: Jonah Goldberg Takes on Ron Paul Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/jonah_goldberg_takes_on_ron_paul#11650 Post contents: <b>Rothbard’s teacher and mentor, Ludwig von Mises [.pdf file], had confidently predicted the collapse of Communism in the mid-1920s: since prices were absent from the socialist economic mechanism, there was no way to know where to allocate scarce resources: this meant the Soviet economy would either revert to capitalism, or else come to a grinding, screeching halt.</b> True enough and obvious enough. I'm surprised more isn't made of the research done by Anthony C. Sutton about US funding of the Soviet regime in books like <i>Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development</i>, <i>Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution</i>, and <i>The Best Enemy Money Can Buy.</i> The anti-Sutton 'Popular Front' also extends all the way from National Review to the International Socialist Review, but every demographic in the pro-Paul coalition should read Sutton.
