None of you suggested "Michael Thrower", very disappointing

I feel like I should get a refund on my rent when Sydney's weather is like this, this is not what I was promised
Don't say you love the anime if you haven't read the manga
NGL when I saw Sabrina Carpenter was touring my first reaction was "oh the actress from Tall Girl"
My paper on Soviet mathematicians and their contribution to economics is forthcoming in the JEL! The thread will follow. This is an important story that should have been told at some point.

Recently discovered evidence that I am planning to do an industrial revolution:
Oh...oh dear. The NYPD has found...the @OUPAcademic Oxford Very Short Introduction series. I wonder if he thinks the Antisemitism is also a how-to book.
@ronrule Hi Ron, great reply. Did you know that the US is the most charitable society in human history? Compared to 1930, charity is up ~25% and social spending is up 2000%. Despite that fact, charity (which has no net effect on poverty) remains 15 times smaller than social spending.
Strongly agreed.
I think a big problem among many marxists is that they think materialism is a kind of ontology, rather than a type of causal explanation. So much of the confusion out there starts there.
@BevansAdvocate Happy to find I wasn’t the only one that felt like the title was familiar!
Dear UK readers: my new book, The Road to Freedom, is out, published by @AllenLaneBooks
@besttrousers Sorry but that’s the law of capitalism now, by executive order
Real footage of economists jumping to conclusion based on evidence from one paper:
Last week Red Bull built a gigantic ski jump on a ski slope in Akureyri, Iceland. Ryōyū Kobayashi flew 291 meters and was in the air for over 10 seconds. The video is magnificent.
@BevansAdvocate I would also add a list of films. Montaldo's Sacco and Vanzetti, Loach's Bread and Roses, Hirzcman's They don't wear Black Tie (Brazil) and others.
Everybody loves the Vietnam protests, the lovely protests everyone agrees with. [5 minutes later] We regret to inform you the Vietnam protests were polarising.
A woman on CNN is saying the anti-Vietnam protests were different from the situation now, which is “very polarizing.” People always do this — make it seem like past activists were somehow uncontroversial. It’s nonsense. Activism by its nature is antagonistic to the status quo.
Working hard at the gym to get those “1988-2008 global income growth distribution” arms because lifting isn’t just about aesthetics, it also serves a valuable intellectual purpose
@BevansAdvocate At least half a dozen times a year I breeze through this book when trying to think my way through a complex political or business problem. A complete careful re-read is on my to do list.
