Evidence that We’re Better Off Than in the 1960s, #2976
Those of you who read Don Boudreaux over at CafeHayek know that he often gives evidence that the average American is way better off than his/her counterpart in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. This is my story comparing now to the 1960s. I was talking to a California friend recently and we were both belly-aching about state and local governments’ assaults on Californians’ freedom. The biggest ones right now are the lockdowns. (Parenthetical note:...

A ban always does mean people want the thing being banned
A ban on the taking of narcotics does, quite obviously, mean that those proposing the ban think some would like to take narcotics. A ban on booze sales after midnight equally means those banning think that in the absence of the ban booze sales after midnight would take place as part of voluntary interactions.It is with this in mind that we can evaluate the ban on petrol or diesel cars by 2030. The government is insisting that the electric,...

Necessity is the Mother of Invention – Retirees Desperate Reach for Yield
Ben Bernanke’s creativity inspired a generation of economists and central bankers. QE, ZIRP and NIRP established a new class of economics that is mathematically sound but practically disastrous. Billions of dollars were transferred from savers to investors to boost the economy, but the wizards of quant forgot that something has to give. In this case, it was the formation of a pension crisis that threatens the golden years of millions of...

Bonus Quotation of the Day…
… is from page 79 of Pierre Lemieux’s excellent 2018 monograph, What’s Wrong With Protectionism?: There is no reason to believe that more market failures occur in international trade than in domestic trade. But even if, in special circumstances, a convincing case could be made for market failure, there is no reason to believe that politicians and bureaucrats (who, in practice, run the government) could provide an efficient solution. Even if...

Disappointing Results from Taskforce on Telehealth
The report of the Taskforce on Telehealth Policy Findings and Recommendations was released September 15, 2020, accompanied by an online presentation. I had high hopes for the report and looked forward to its recommendations with interest. After all, it was led by some of the strongest supporters of telehealth: the Alliance for Connected Care and the American Telemedicine Association. They teamed up with the National Committee for Quality...

Covid Testing: Bad Science Worse Policy
PCR testing for Covid is too flawed to make public policy by, but that's what's happening. The UK is on the verge of a new, second lockdown based on an apparent surge in Covid cases. But are these real cases or an artifact of testing? It turns out that half - or more - of the new "cases" are really just false positives. And they aren't even cases as those are (or should be reserved) for people with both confirmed Covid and...

Silver Crash! 22 September
On Monday, the dollar rose from 1.16 grams silver, to 1.26g. Conventional monetary thinkers believe that the dollar can be measured either in terms of the euro, pound, yuan, etc. Or in terms of consumer prices. But these are not units of measure. And that’s because consumer prices are subject to huge forces pushing them both up (rising costs of compliance) and down (falling interest rates, and rising efficiency). Using consumer prices to...

The list is not long, and I’ll start with David Graham, her third and extremely rich husband, who was the biggest bore I have ever met, and believe you me, I’ve met a few in my long life.
