Did you ever noticed, while I've nailed them for promoting all kinds of useless garbage, The Four Horsemen of the Ablogalypse - Glenn Reynolds, Andrew Sullivan, Steven Den Beste, and Charles Johnson - have never taken the subject of slavery's economics very seriously?

I'd pretty sure they've lost all manner of credibility (that is if we lived in a reasonably sane world that could recognize sanity...or the lack of it). However, I have been wrong many times before.

I mean...the stinking enormity of the sheer craziness and just...wtf...just craziness...
It's quackery on the political scale (and possibly, likely, the historical scale as well).
