I can't wait to talk about "Defending Due Process" with Bill Marshall and Eisha Jain UNC Law today at noon

We will see if Tuesday is yet another "boy who cried tariff" moment. But, still, a good time to re-up this. (Full details in the linked reports within.) Trump's tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China would cost the typical US household over $1,200 a year www.piie.com/research/pii...

From the Toronto Star:

“Piketty and Sandel have got a point: something has gone very wrong in the balance between wealth and political power. That relationship must be fixed.” 'Equality' in @theneweuropean.bsky.social www.theneweuropean.co.uk/jay-elwes-ar...

Thomas Piketty on the state we are in www.lemonde.fr/blog/piketty...

Part 1 of my series on Defending Due Process on the excellent @volokhc.bsky.social reason.com/volokh/2025/...

Forthcoming. Spoiler: Matt doesn't think it works.

Defending due process: error aversions, due process, and public safety - an overview of chapter 2 of my new book - and years of studies with Greg Mitchell - law.duke.edu/news/brandon...

Inequality is about more than wealth. 👉 youtu.be/bMg-1raozPA 👀 Thomas Piketty & Michael Sandel argue that economic systems must restore dignity to workers, not just redistribute income. First in our mini-series based on their book "Equality: What It Means and Why It Matters"

The audiobook for my upcoming book 'THE NEW NUCLEAR AGE' is announced now for April 2021 (worldwide). Audible details here: www.audible.com/pd/The-New-N...

"Never before has humanity done so much talking... But we need to acknowledge that speech... has never been so debased." Gerald Garutti, translated by Raymond Geuss, on the need to mend our broken public culture of speech. *Watch Your Words*, just out.

Deeply relevant even before Trump. Scarily relevant now. Brandon Garrett defends the unglamorous but vital value of due process. Just published.
