Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

						Physician heal thyself				A useful pointer for those of you determined to stem the spread of Tranzi ideology: it seems to rush in to fill a vacuum. The vacuum in question here is the British medical establishment in the form of The Lancet, its leading publication. 
According to the Sawbones Union, what the world needs is a global body to direct economic development. Thus proving that just because someone is a doctor doesn’t mean they’ve actually got any brains. 
The article includes this thigh-slappingly hilarious assertion: 
“It says there is no consensus on the best policies for development, as there has been no scientific analysis of what works and what does not.”  
Hmm, I diagnose an advanced case of Economic Illiteracy. I recommend that they be locked in a room with Paul Marks three times a day before meals. If symptoms persist, then I’m afraid that the condition is probably terminal.

	Who Are We?			The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. 
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.
