Dan Klein and I are editors of a new book of quotations from Edmund Burke. In his final years, Burke wrote with burning vitality in defense of liberty and against radicalism. He seems to be speaking directly to us today. Get a taste in this new piece @NRO nationalreview.com/2022/07/edmund…

Incredible finding from @jmhorp @CatoInstitute: For the 10 metro areas most affected by the "China shock," ALL of them have higher real wages today, at every income level, than they did in 2001, and 6/10 have grown faster than the national average. New from me @NRO…

I’m in the captain’s chair for @richlowry today on @NRO’s “The Editors.” I join @charlescwcooke, @philipaklein, and @DominicJPino to talk Trump’s immigration numbers, the Colbert conspiracy, and Hunter’s inconvenient reemergence. nationalreview.com/podcasts/the-e…

“Roughly two-thirds of economic historians surveyed rejected the proposition that the efforts of labor unions were the primary cause of the drop in work hours before the Great Depression.”

One reason tariffs haven't affected the stock market more is that they primarily affect the "old economy". GM has $187B in sales but a market cap of just $50B, while Nvidia has $135B in sales and a market cap of $4.1 trillion. GM is much more exposed to tariffs than Nvidia.

The year is 2210. American & Chinese officials meet in Lisbon for the ceremonial "extending of the tariff deadline", celebrating the two countries' trade relationship in an annual tradition whose origins are now lost to history

Private content moderation is good. Foreign garbage is perfectly legal, but YouTube is under no obligation to host it. Trying to force platforms to be “neutral” means more foreign propaganda. cnbc.com/2025/07/21/you…

I'd rather keep the $110,000 than give it to the government to perpetuate a Ponzi scheme

The media have been saying Americans are afraid of flying under Trump and airplanes have become less safe. In reality, more people are flying than ever, with record-setting numbers of over 3 million passengers per day. New from me @NRO nationalreview.com/corner/media-s…

Lots of really bad economics in today’s NYT op-ed on grocery store competition. Take this passage for example:

Great turnout today on Capitol Hill for our Tariffs 101 briefing today! With 100+ staffers in attendance, @DavidBahnsen, @PhilWMagness, @DominicJPino, and AAF Chairman @marctshort broke down everything to know about the tariff issue.

The phrase "United Auto Workers" makes everyone think of Michael Moore interviewing laid off GM workers in Flint, MI in the 1980s, when they're actually grad-student teaching assistants in the Grievance Studies Department at a huge university.

"The young Republicans in Washington may not know it, but they are spending down the intellectual capital stockpiled by Ed Feulner and his generation." wsj.com/opinion/edwin-… via @WSJopinion

This guy killed, IIRC, 269 people.

Good/important new @CatoInstitute research from @jmhorp: The US localities hardest hit by the "China Shock" still saw significant, positive real wage & job growth since 2001. Gains in several of these places, in fact, are better than the national trends. Narrative violation!

🧵Now available! My paper with Ashruta Acharya and Alek Psrurek on the most generous engagement with the most influential "model" of degrowth. TLDR: It doesnt hold empirically. It predicts the opposite.

Like many reforms, airport privatization began with Margaret Thatcher in 1986, then spread across Europe and the world. The socialist outlier? The United States, where all major airports are still government-owned.

And private airport companies are becoming better at managing airports as they grow: reason.org/wp-content/upl…

Same with Japan's fast, reliably on-time trains.
