In today’s “Room for Debate” at the New York Times, I ‘debate’ Robert Reich and others on the question of manufacturing jobs [2]. (The title of my essay was not chosen by me.)
In this essay from 2000 [3], John Attarian explains clearly why the Social Security Trust Fund is, in fact, no such thing. (My own less-nuanced effort is this video [4] from a few years back.)
David Henderson recalls and nicely summarizes the wisdom [5] in Dwight Lee’s and Richard McKenzie’s excellent 1999 book, Getting Rich in America [6].
Reason’s Nick Gillespie wonders why Michael Phelps hasn’t gone to pot [7].
Mark Perry eloquently notes the sad passing of the economist Paul McCracken [9].
