I just wanted to take this opportunity to welcome my friend and colleague, Peter Boettke, to the ranks of Liberty and Power as a new Contributing Editor. Pete is the Deputy Director of the James M.Buchanan Center for Political Economy, a Senior Research Fellow at the Mercatus Center, and a professor in the economics department at George Mason University. He is also an author of many books and essays, and one terrific thinker. You can find out more about him here. Welcome aboard, Pete!
