Special notice, if you have arrived at this post searching for the economist Robert P. Murphy, please note his web site was attacked by hackers who placed copy on his site which resulted in Google removing his site from their index.
The malicious code was removed from Murphy's site by his webmaster, yesterday. However, it will now take a number of weeks before a Google spider re-indexes Murphy's site. Given that Murphy is about to launch a book Monday, The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Great Depression and the New Deal, this could not happen at a worse time for him. He is scheduled on numerous radio shows to discuss his book and there are likely to be many searches for Murphy's name, looking for his web site.
So for the record (and especially for the search engines), Robert P. Murphy's blog is called Free Advice and can be found here.
Here is Murphy's full curriculum vitae so that if by chance he mentions something from it and you are searching one of these details, you will also find him:
