As soon as we enter, we’re confronted with a photograph of a beautiful old Austrian library decorated with wood panelling and frescos synonymous with the European Enlightenment. ‘An old library might be a strange place to begin an exhibition about civilisation in the 21st century’, the exhibit label accompanying the photo quips, ‘but we must […]
If the West really wants to end migration, there is a solution: spend more money in the countries migrants are fleeing.
We had a lovely stay at Josh and Brandon’s cozy mountain cottage. Our hosts included many thoughtful touches that made the place really feel like a home away from home. We just had a few things we’d like to note for future travelers considering booking this place.
The bed frame could be sturdier. The kitchen counter could be sturdier. The patio furniture could be sturdier. The bathroom sink could be sturdier. The refrigerator is surprisingly sturdy—no complaints there!
We really appreciated the linen closet stocked full of towels. Thank god. We needed every single towel. And one of the bath mats.
We loved how many mirrors there were throughout the home, but we could’ve used a few in the kitchen—especially above that sturdy fridge.
We couldn’t figure out which remote works the TV, but we ended up using both remotes for something else.
The carpeting in the living room was so soft and luxurious. The rug in the bedroom was a little itchy, but only if you touched it with your naked butt. The basement stairs had some splinters, but again, it’s only an issue if you touch them with your naked butt.
As Brazil assumes the presidency of the G20 and the UN offers concessions to Russia, is Ukraine losing the war of hearts and minds?

Offentliga institutioner reglerar redan i dag bankernas penningskapande i allmänhetens intresse, om än på ett mycket fragmentariskt sätt. Det tydligaste exemplet är kanske de strikta skyldigheter som bankerna har för att säkerställa att de pengar de skapar inte används för finansiering av terrorism och penningtvätt.Tidigare, efter andra världskriget, styrdes många banker att låna ut till […]

A study of 19 countries found that immigrant workers employed in manual occupations generally earned less on average than their native counterparts.
That was my suggested headline for my latest opinion piece, which ran in Australian online magazine Crikey under the sub-editors (blander IMO) choice of “We don’t need a nuclear renaissance. We need a solid plan on renewables” The idea of the piece was to respond to Exhibit A in the case for nuclear power, the […]
Instead of talk about duck hunting, the unions should be doing something about the 50 and 60-hour weeks that are the rule on construction sites.

As regular readers know, I live in Ontario and because I have cancer (no worries, my odds of dying are about 2%) I’ve been in and out of the hospital system a lot from about 2018 to now.
That means I’ve gotten to see what happened to hospital care, albeit mostly in two hospitals; but two important, well funded research and teaching hospitals.
And it has been bad. Getting imaging tests which I would have had within a month to two before Covid took almost a year. A surgeon I know told me how he was fighting to get people urgent care. I’m lucky, I have a slow growing type of cancer, if I’d had something fast, odds are I’d be dead.
Diagnosing early is important for all sorts of diseases, not just cancer, and so is getting people quick care.
Like pretty much all the posts on this blog this one represents another unfinished thought. I am prompted to write this because I re-read my previous post, Showies. In it I began with my usual nostalgic claptrap before wending my way into my experience of the Silver City Show. I …
. The universalist ideas of the Enlightenment are still relevant, despite the numerous criticisms that have been levelled against them. The Enlightenment was characterized by a spirit of exploration that led to new discoveries in both science and culture. Rather than promoting a narrow worldview, it encouraged people to question assumptions and religious beliefs. It […]
This is a quick test of whether Word successfully exports its own inline equations to the Web, after I was informed that inline MathType equations weren’t exported. One thing which never ceases to bemuse me is the intellectual insularity of mainstream economics. Every intellectual specialization is, by necessity, insular. Specialization necessarily requires that, to have … Continue reading "The Impossibility of Microfoundations for Macroeconomics"

I think Philip Bump’s analysis of the Trump interview problem is on point. The rest of the media should know this by now: Donald Trump’s success in the 2016 Republican nominating contest was, at its essence, uncomplicated. Running against a cadre of sitting and former elected officials, Trump said things they wouldn’t — mostly the things that were being said in the right-wing media and by pundits on Fox News. The reputation for “truth-telling” his supporters embrace was born of his willingness to elevate false, popular claims, particularly about the left. He wasn’t elected for his policies; in fact, he broadly rejected the idea that people cared much about policy. The only thing that’s changed over the past eight years, really, is that everyone should know the playbook by now. We should know that he will 1) flood the zone with things that are burbling on the right-wing fringe, 2) make sweeping promises without much follow-through and 3) reject any criticism out of hand, spinning it into a reason to praise himself. And so it was with his interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday.
