Now now; if you're going to be in Hanson mode, at least credit him when you're not being original: http://www.overcomingbias.com/2009/12/microlending-fails.html
I'm not sure that Hanson was being original. Libertarian leaning economists have been making this argument for some time.
I wasn't claiming to be original but I wouldn't credit Robin Hanson as the primary influence on me on this issue. Maybe Kerry Howley or Will Wilkinson should have got the credit.
