My GMU colleague Tom Hazlett is the man when it comes to the economics of telecommunications. Here’s Tom’s latest essay in Barron’s [1] – which concludes:
Regulators may not know it, but telecom competition is alive and well—without their help.
Over at EconLog, Arnold Kling offers another important lesson in the art of data interpretation [2].
Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer is none-too-impressed with the Obama administration’s free-lunch economics [3].
Washington Post columnist George Will writes again on the prospects of legalizing at least some currently prohibited drugs [4]. (See also – and also from the Washington Post – this related op-ed by Mary Speck [5].)
Rebekah Rast writes about “Obama’s quixotic wind program. [6]”
CEI’s Wayne Crews discusses the government’s unfortunate antitrust action against Apple [7].
Here’s the New York Times on Tyler Cowen on food. [8]
Finally – and I’ll announce this event again within the next few days – my colleague Larry White will discuss his new book The Clash of Economic Ideas at the Mason Inn (on GMU’s Fairfax campus) starting at 4:00pm on April 25th [11].
