Steven Pressman

You will be greatly missed! Hope you keep on writing about economics. You excel at making economic ideas understandable to a general audience.

The show can go on. If people boycott other CBS shows, and write letters of complaint, CBS may decide to recompute whether it makes sense to get rid of #Colbert

And journalism, like that of @nathantankus.bsky.social is a public good, something that benefits everyone and that it is cheaper and easier to provide with public support.

why did this make me laugh

Is there a published work/paper? This looks fascinating.

I want an alternative to Twitter to survive and thrive I think it’s important for BS to grow as a way to offset or diminish the cultural and political impact that Twitter has.

This is why I care.

Incantations of National Emergency: The U.S. Court of International Trade Provides Crucial Historical Context This is a free piece of Notes on the Crises. I will not be paywalling any coverage of this crisis for as long as it persists, so please take out a paid subscription to facilitate performing that publi...

NEW PIECE: the recent court of International Trade case provides a rich history of the President's executive control of tariffs. So rich in fact, that this is just about that fascinating legal history. This is essentially a history of 20th century economic policy

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

The Novel and the Secret Police - Boston Review In Vineland, his underappreciated 1990 novel, Thomas Pynchon anticipated a United States in which security would become the greatest good.

Carney knocks out the Carny.
