Land value tax fixes this

Bro, you are the media

Journalists love nothing more than sharing articles by other journalists about journalism

This is revisionist history. There was significant anti-Tom sentiment. Zuck is never Zuck without Tom.

It sounds worse than it is, but nonetheless it’s fairly accurate to describe Tyler Cowen as a blogger and podcaster supported by a patronage.

I’ve enjoyed the Marginal Revolution podcasts but have to admit they’ve lowered my esteem of Cowen and Tabarrok. In one episode they’re discussing when (1920s? 1950s?) something like a carbon take should have been imposed. It doesn’t seem to occur to them that a cap on GHGs solves this problem!

If you read every tweet to implicitly have the preface “It seems to me”, they’re somewhat more tolerable
