A 50% tariff, a 100% misfire: "The deterioration of democratic norms in Brazil is alarming. So is Lula's coziness with China. But the Trump 50% tariff is likely to make matters worse. It undermines U.S. leadership authority because it violates its commitments at the World Trade…

💪Day 4 starts strong. Panel time: Dr. Rosolino Candela & @AlecStapp, moderated by @dgrcosta.

Big ideas. @DeirdreMcClosk & @dgrcosta talk about progress, meaning, and the future.

Great points. Markets have a kind of "epistemic efficiency" that goes beyond just information transmission. And sometimes market dynamics actually depend on participants NOT having certain types of information/legibility. That makes price discovery possible.

@dgrcosta joins @shakamitchell and @ccsienk at @QualMatters to unpack how economics reveals the powerful link between human cooperation and innovation.

International correspondents to Brazil too often present the unchecked growth of Brazil's Supreme Court as a unique but constitutional feature. In truth, this expansion was not the result of a natural and lawful progression but rather a series of questionable and abusive…

🚀 Day 4, let’s go. Panel: @dgrcosta moderates Dr. Beatty + @siriterjesen. #FEESeminars

Desculpem-me, mas essa reportagem do @jornalnacional é uma das mais grotescas peças veiculadas pela imprensa profissional que eu já vi. Não é somente absurda e sem base alguma, mas quase uma piada. Como alguém que trabalha com manipulação de mercado, quase faltam palavras

One underappreciated aspect of the Colbert demise is the death of the movie star system. There aren’t enough big stars left to support an interview based show that airs 5 nights a week.

I'm back from Atlanta and what a wonderful experience presenting for the @feeonline's teacher fellowship program. Many thanks for all the great work being done via @FEE_Learning! Education is empowering and economics is everywhere ;)

✍️ Essay workshop: writing is a weapon. Our essay workshop trains students to think clearly, argue boldly, and write like they mean it. Led by @DanSanchezV, @LolitaAllgyer, and Kyle Walker.

💥Our keynote @veroderugy kicks things off with a reminder: Abundance isn’t just possible, it’s necessary.

@DGRCosta, President of the Foundation of Economic Education (@feeonline) unpacks the concept of creative destruction. It's a refreshing (and classical) way to think about the merits of free market system, both in economics and education.

Happy Birthday to Thomas Sowell who turns 95 today.

Rent control is the second-best way to destroy a city, after bombing. And, because of what it leads to in terms of under investment in repairing, maintaining, constructing new apartments, I think this is likely to exacerbate rather than improve issues around housing affordability…

"There are actually some win-win solutions in our economic model." @DGRCosta, President of @feeonline reminds us that our economic model is not a "zero-sum game." Value can be created for multiple participants simultaneously - multiple studies showing the positive, competitive…

@dgrcosta announcing the winners of this year’s @feeonline Hackathon at FreedomFest!

David Boaz argued "that liberalism must remain a learning philosophy to stay relevant" and "emphasized the importance of continuing progress, particularly in expanding freedom and opportunity for marginalized groups." - @dgrcosta fee.org/articles/celeb…

🔥 @dgrcosta takes the stage to share how a FEE seminar in 2004 sparked his freedom journey.

Hayek is an intellectual giant.
