The Economic Nationalist

I started this blog three months ago because I felt that I had developed some cogent thoughts you might find interesting on the topic of economic nationalism. I hope that you have indeed found them interesting. For personal reasons which have nothing to do with economic nationalism, I mean to step away from the blog for a period of time. How long? I don’t know, but a year to a year and a half is as good a guess as any. (Of course one must be realistic. After so long a hiatus, there can be no guarantee that the blog will ever actually resume active publication, despite my intent at the moment I write these words.)

A number of people seem to have found edifying at least some of the articles already here. These will stay, but new articles will not appear during the hiatus. The blog software is set automatically to publish comments by people whose comments are already published here, but because of blog spam (which looks more or less exactly like the spam which plagues your e-mailbox), the software is set to suspend comments by newcomers until I have approved the comments. Since I am not going to be around to approve comments, this regrettably but necessarily means that your comments will not appear, unless you happen to be one of the already established contributors.

A blog without readers is a sad thing, and this blog has been blessed with a surprising number of readers for the kind of thing it is, so I want to thank you most sincerely for reading. Until the blog resumes active publication, I recommend that you try some of the links at right.
