Don Ernsberger: LPNY 1994 Convention Report, 23 Apr 1994
Report on the "Howard Stern Convention", the Libertarian Party of New York 1994 convention at which radio personality Howard Stern was elected as LP candidate for New York Governor
This morning (Saturday April 23rd) I drove 4.5 hours to Albany to attend the New York Free Libertarian Party convention. I had been asked to serve as Parliamentarian by State chair Vogel as well as Tamara Clark. By 8:00 AM several hundred LP members as well as many 'Howard Stern fans' had gathered at the convention location. ... It remains to be seen how the media covers this convention ... I personally found the typical 'Stern supporter' to be both more libertarian and more well behaved then I had expected. Howard Stern also impressed many as being more serious and concerned with LP growth then expected.
The Labor Theory of Value (An Analysis), by Donald C. Ernsberger,
Jarret Wollstein (editor), 1988
Examines Marx's Labor Theory of Value, including an example, and compares it to the market-exchange theory, exploring some of the flaws in the former
At the heart of economic theory is the concept of value. What gives an article value? Is it something inherent in an object, or is it some other factor? Does value derive from human effort, or something else? The two major and fundamentally opposite economic systems—capitalism and Marxism—give completely different answers ... Indeed, the free market is the only economic system which enables consumers rather than bureaucrats to determine what is produced and at what price. Marx has been in his grave for over 100 years. It is time that his theories were buried as well.
