Richard Rahn supplies a useful guide for separating economic sense from nonsense.  (HT Warren Smith)

James Pethokoukis is reading Deirdre McCloskey’s Bourgeois Equality.

John Cochrane is understandably not grumpy about Jason Furman’s recent op-ed on housing restrictions.

My Mercatus Center colleague Dan Griswold – a great buster of myths – explains that immigration is helping the American economy.
