I’m back from my trip to the mountains, so there will be plenty of fresh material soon. Today, to get back into the swing of things, I’ll answer some simple question, and here’s the rough plan for what comes next:

• I will break down the trip into cases illustrating different aspects of libertarianism and economic theory and release a fairly extensive article on the subject
• I’ll edit and post the Friedman translations that my wonderful assistants managed to put together while I was away
• I’ll put out a couple of articles for Bitarch and a new text for the Novosibirsk YouTube channel Libertarian Band (by the way, if anyone hasn’t checked out their latest video on libertarianism for grandmothers, definitely take a look; they have a new sexy host, and I like how he presented my text—the previous one, about lifelong tenure, turned out less lively).
• I liked the idea of writing a few fairy tales in the style of Gorky’s Luka.
• And we’ll see where it goes from there.

Oh, right, about Friedman. Shortly before leaving, I managed to edit the translation of one of the chapters of the third edition of the Mechanics of Liberty: Problems with deriving the ought from the is in Ayn Rand—enjoy this exclusive, as this text is hardly found anywhere, even in English. I’ve estimated the progress of the translation and think I can set a deadline for the project: February 12, 2020. Grandpa Friedman will turn 75 then, and we’ll have something to congratulate him with. I also remind you that donations for the translation are best sent to a separate wallet 1AFkD2bazCs5YZBBrSD7HsRMWLmRbg6QBo—it will be easier for me to estimate how much I can spend on rewarding my assistants. Please bear with me, but I will bother you with this reminder with every new chapter publication.
