I'll be guest editing a special issue of @cosmosandtaxis on the work of Don Lavoie. Lavoie made vital contributions to comparative economic systems, political economy, cultural economics, and more. Submit your abstract to me by September 1st! cosmosandtaxis.org/submissions/ca…

Yesterday, @Marian_L_Tupy and @PeterBoettke published an excellent op-ed in @WSJopinion making a simple but powerful point: AI can’t replace markets ⚖️🤖 🔗 wsj.com/opinion/algori… One of the most misguided ideas I’ve seen in the past decade is that central planning is (or soon…

"The three Ps—property rights, prices, and profit and loss—provide the three Is—information, incentives and innovation."

Excellent oped by @PeterBoettke and @Marian_L_Tupy on the difference optimization by AI and prosperity through markets.

A terrific piece. I would add, even if AI develops 'creative thinking' capacities this would not support a case for AI socialism. It would imply having competition between different AIs to mimic the competition between the imaginations of entrepreneurs in 'human centred' markets.

As if the official program did not offer enough embarrassment of riches, we will also do a sideline live taping of an episode of Zooming In with Aaron Ross Powell hosting @jbouie and @radleybalko. You'll regret if you miss. Register now. theunpopulist.net/p/only-three-w…

On the latest episode of The Long Library @corymassimino talks to Roderick about his essay "The Justice and Prudence of War." They discuss pacifism, proportionality, violence against innocent shields, and much more. Listen/watch below👇 c4ss.org/content/60572

“We first establish that much of what drives biologic patenting is the desire to block entry by competing biosimilars” Raising the costs of this sort of strategic patenting (ex: harberger tax) seems like a better way to lower the returns to drugmakers than price controls.

Why does politics seem so extreme? @AndrQuintas5 and Erwin Dekker argue that extremism is a signaling device used by political newcomers to attract disillusioned voters and enhance their own credibility. loom.ly/EyiNkx0

The Russian Empire deported roughly one million ethnic Germans, Jews and Muslims during World War I, part of an escalating xenophobic hysteria. Ironically, the Bolsheviks would walk similar paths under the Stalin government.

The FBI admits to sending 2 agents to the annual @LeftForum conference in NYC in 2018 for a panel on WikiLeaks.

I’m glad they’re making the highly inefficient H-1B visa slightly less inefficient, but not that glad considering the enormous deadweight loss of restrictions on labor migration.
