The Prodigal Son Returns

By Max B. Sawicky


Hi EconoPeeps. I launched this cockamamie blog for my pals when I had to abandon my own and work for the Federal government (Government Accountability Office, not CIA). Then my webhost "1 and 1" (now Ionos) erased the entire blog, which I had been doing since about 2004. I was delinquent in a monthly payment and they failed to warn me.

Now I'm retired but still writing. I have a substack to which I've been posting regularly. Subscriptions are free and there is no segregation of paid from free subscribers. I tell people I don't need donations but they make me happy. 

I was dithering on how and when to restore my own website, but I've noticed this one seems to be going strong, one of the few genuine blogs still running. So I'm going to cross-post here for a while. It will be quite different from The Sandwichman's erudite, scholarly commentaries on Marx and such. I don't want to step on his toes, but with blogs I learned a long time ago that volume matters. So I'm going to amplify it on EconoSpeak.

Do you guys know what happened to "pgl"=ProGrowthLiberal?? I know his real name but have never divulged it online. I used to be a regular commenter on "Econbrowser" (some might say overly prolific) and I wanna say around December some time I started getting blocked, for what reason I do not know. And around that SAME time I noticed "ProGrowthLiberal" comments also became very sparse. Did he just become more busy with his work or was he having THE SAME problems getting on Econbrowser as me?? I have gotten 3 different error messages when attempting to get on Econbrowser, with very LAME excuses from one of the two hosts on why I cannot comment. I'm super curious if "ProGrowthLiberal" had the same problem or I was isolated in my frustation.
