Rob Bradley’s discussion – over at EconLib – of Enron is not to be missed [1].
Speaking of central banks, here’s John Cochrane’s clear-eyed take on the Fed [3].
Bjorn Lomborg challenges Paul Krugman on climate science [4].
A graph (via Greg Mankiw) both disheartening and frightening [5].
George Will on modern “Progressives. [6]”
David Henderson discusses an economic historian whose work deserves your close attention: the late Stanley Lebergott [7]. (Lebergott’s 1996 book, Pursuing Happiness [8], is among my very favorite works in economic history. Alas, though, I’ve misplaced my much-marked-up copy; I’ve been searching for it, without success, for well over a year.)
Tyler Cowen on the gold standard [9]. (For the record, I’m more favorably disposed to a gold standard than is Tyler.)
