Reviving The Conservative Momentum

You know what; I think Ron Paul is absolutely right about the teaching of Keynes is undermining the discourse of Hayek’s. Now, I’m suggesting that all university in this country must encourage or emphasize this subject into learning syllabus. I still remember when I was in Economic in Public Sector and Fiscal in Public Policy lectures, I was taught to be a Keynesian whenever economic crises struck! Pump priming style according to my lecturer will help the government to rebound the economy. Sometimes, extreme ideas like raising taxes according to them as well, the so called taxing the rich benefiting the poor is suggested as major priority balancing the bad side of free market.

At one time, I referred to Keynes literatures doing my assignment! I don’t know anything about the opposite until I found Hayek’s at the next book shelves. Surprisingly, only three students borrowed the book! Why? I think nobody is interested or perhaps lazy to read The Road to Serfdom because it’s too philosophical and time consuming. I ran few pages before stopped due to examination week. I found it as enlightening and unusual lines of thought ever since!

Now, I can’t find where I could write this source in the exams. No where because if I write it despite true and attempted to provide variety of solutions, lecturers, for certain, mark the answer as wrong according to you again! Hayek is too bizarre and too absurd for them. The lesson is popularity being utmost vital than accuracy in university education.

I want them to have a clear sense of rule of law, free market system and individuals and most crucial, the role of government within the size of Federal Constitutions as framed by Founding Father.

Radicalize our students with the ideas and thoughts. Lacking of these would jeopardize our individual freedom, subservient to government completely, regulations to impeding true potential of market and job creation. Defending the prosperity as a result of free market and individual orders are those thoughts should be enshrined in our life.

I guess we are all come to one stage of saturated agenda of reforms since March 08! My line of thinking is to promote liberal views in many aspects, stressing on liberty in politics and economics. Many friends believe we can free politically but not to economic freedom! They are socialist of course that believe championing the peoples and at the same time creates moral hazard of irresponsibility.

If we want the third force apart of two coalition in this country, it must come from this line of thinking; sending them out from the House if they fails to upholding these principles, bring in who advocates principles such as cutting spending, market led economy, and full scales adoption of New Economic Model (NEM).
