Thinking Out Aloud: Death of the Author
http://lorenzo-thinkingoutaloud.blogspot.com/2009/03/death-of-author.html
Postings on books (mainly non-fiction), a few films and matters of interest by Lorenzo from Oz (aka Downunder). Tuesday, March 3, 2009. Death of the Author.

Not Trampis: Penalty Rates
http://nottrampis.blogspot.com/2015/08/penalty-rates.html
Monday, 3 August 2015. I cannot get over every time I read someone anyone saying how penalty rates must go there is only talk about the effect of labour demand but none on labour supply.

If history could teach us anything, it would be that private property is inextricably linked with civilization." Ludwig von Mises. Thursday, May 7, 2015.
