Ron Paul is an amazing individual. Not only has he been the
most consistent voice for liberty in the U.S. Congress in our time—
perhaps in all time—but he is also surprisingly well versed in economic
theory. Indeed, if I were to dissect one of his speeches or
articles, I would have to treat him as I would a fellow economist,
not as “a politician.”
On top of all that, Ron Paul is a successful OB-GYN, who delivered
over 4,000 babies during his career. This is why I’m so
amazed at his nuanced understanding of economics. Let me put it
this way: Ron Paul knows a lot more about current account
deficits than I do about giving a sonogram.
We economists talk a lot about the division of labor, and moreover
we libertarians often invoke the concept to stir everyone to
action. Sure, it’s important for the great thinkers like Ludwig von
Mises and Murray Rothbard to come up with the grand ideas, but
it’s also crucial for parents to teach their kids the virtue in hard
work, and for crotchety old men to write nasty Letters to the Editor
whenever the city council is considering a hike in property
