Bootstrapping A Solar-System Civilization
Encouraging thoughts from David Brin on what he calls the “best year for space since the 70s.”
Carbon Dioxide
Matt Ridley: Its benefits could easily exceed its costs.

A new paper from Mercatus, citing me and the book. In fact, I used the FDA as another example of a risk-averse bureaucracy in the book.

Why we need it much more than democratic socialism.
Socialists don’t understand that in order for wealth to be distributed at all, it has to be created.
Temperature And The Economy
Well, this is a twofer from Borenstein: Junk science and junk economics.
