".it should not be surprising to see hordes of former Reds, or of those
who otherwise would have become Reds, turning from Marxism and becoming
the Greens of the ecology movement. It is the same fundamental

NOBEL PRIZE COMMITTEE GIVES SCIENCE AWARD TO OBJECTIVIST ECONOMIST
FOR PATH-BREAKING INSIGHTS ON METEOROLOGY, CLIMATE CHANGE!

"George Reisman as far as we can tell has no intellectual grounding in
ecology, meteorology or the study of climate dynamics," a spokesperson
for Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences noted in announcing the award..

"However," the spokesperson for the Swedish Academy continued,
"Reisman has been such an avid student of the novelist Ayn Rand and
the Austrian free-market economist Ludwig von Mises, we felt that he
must intuitively understand the dynamics of the earth's climate system
as well as the biological basis for environmental science."

"We also are awarding Dr. Reisman a special Nobel Prize for Sheer
Audacity, or in Yiddish terms, 'Chutzpah,' for boldly applying Ayn
Rand's novelistic approach to economics to a subject area normally
dominated by chemists, physicists and meteorologists. We think
Reisman has balls like a brass monkey, and we like that in a climate
commentator."

George Gerald Reisman (born January 13, 1937)[1] is Professor Emeritus
of Economics at Pepperdine University and author of Capitalism: A
Treatise on Economics (1996).[2] He is also the author of an earlier
book, The Government Against the Economy (1979), contents of which are
mostly subsumed in Capitalism. Reisman was born in New York City[1]
and earned his Ph.D. from New York University under the direction of
Ludwig von Mises. He is an outspoken advocate of free market or
laissez-faire capitalism.

In Capitalism, Reisman seeks to achieve a synthesis of the British
Classical and Austrian Schools of Economics, uniting the doctrines of
Adam Smith, David Ricardo, James Mill, and John Stuart Mill with those
of Carl Menger, Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, and Ludwig von Mises.

Reisman was a close associate of Ayn Rand, whose influence on his
thought and work is at least as great as that of his mentor Mises. He
identifies himself as an Objectivist, though he is no longer
affiliated with the Ayn Rand Institute due to a falling out with some
of its senior members, particularly Harry Binswanger and Peter
Schwartz.[3]
