Dear Kelly,
I have interest in Popper. I will study Open Universe and share my comments. Are you teaching philosophy, if yes, in which institution, University?
Thanking you.
With Regards

Saad,
Sorry, but I am not a teacher of anything. I don’t even have a copy of The open Universe to work from, though I read most of it a few years back. I am just an amateur. If you’re interested in Popper and critical rationalism, then I suggest you check the “Resources” link at the top of the page. Of course, feel free to contribute to discussions on this blog and share any thoughts.
I’ve seen you around at economics blogs/forums. I am interested in your perspective especially on monetary matters – can you recommend resources which best reflects your views? I’m not well-grounded on monetary basics, I’d like to be able to digest your views better. Thanks.
Hi JL,
I am no more a professional of economics than I am of philosophy. These are just preoccupations of mine. A lot of my economics is actually informed by my philosophy. Anyway, here are a couple of books you might be interested in:
“The Theory of Free Banking: Money Supply Under Competitive Note Issue” by George Selgin.
“The Fluttering Veil: Essays on Monetary Disequilibrium” by Leland Yeager
Good blogs include:
Monetary Freedom
Macro & Other Market Musings
The Money Illusion
Worthwhile Canadian Initiative
Does this help? If you haven’t already, you might also look into:
“The Open Society and Its Enemies” by Karl Popper
“The Fatal Conceit” by F. A. Hayek
And for a theory of everything that roughly aligns with mine, check out “The Beginning of Infinity” by David Deutsch.
If you do come to understand my views, then you’ll be doing better than me. I may even ask you to explain my views to me — there are always so many unsolved problems and open questions.
Selgin’s book is free to download here: http://oll.libertyfund.org/index.php?option=com_staticxt&staticfile=show.php%3Ftitle=2307&Itemid=99999999
One chapter from Yeager’s book can be downloaded here: http://www.cato.org/pubs/journal/cj6n2/cj6n2-3.pdf
Thanks, Lee Kelly! Much appreciated – will delve into them.
