"Economics today resembles Catholic theology in medieval Europe: a rigid doctrine guarded by a modern priesthood who claim to possess the sole truth. Dissenters are shunned. ... Neoclassical economics has become the Aeroflot of ideas." Much truth in this.

"The world has never seen a government more radically libertarian than @JMilei's. But the amazing thing is not that it is working economically—Adam Smith would say, 'I told you so.' The true miracle is that Milei’s shock therapy is working politically."

Kissinger & computers. (From a @nfergus foreword)

"The 1939 Project has turned its focus toward undermining the righteousness of the U.S. and America’s participation in the war itself. They need to retcon the past in order to loosen the affection and support Americans feel for and have for our allies in Europe and Israel." I highly recommend @RLHeinrichs' excellent essay for @TheFP on "The 1939 Project."

"War and Peace" changed my life. I discuss the greatest novel every written here with @MichaelJKnowles for @prageru. "What is the power that moves nations?" is Tolstoy's big question, and I have spent a lifetime trying to answer it.

The Manhattan Statement on Higher Education lays out a plan for reforming America's universities that is targeted, popular, and ready to go. We call on President Trump to issue an executive order making these principles a precondition for federal funding. Let's get it done.

If you're in (pre-socialist) New York City, take a look at the superb "Sargent in Paris" exhibition at the @metmuseum. So much that is fresh and arresting, particularly this wonderful view of a stormy Atlantic crossing from the stern:

This essay on "Strategic Depth" by Nadia Schadlow of the @HudsonInstitute is excellent.

Javier Milei has lowered Argentina’s monthly inflation rate from 26% to just 1.5% The economy grew 7.6% in Q2 YoY Never forget… the media and professional class labeled him a dangerous “far-right” lunatic because he wanted to cut spending.

The perfect July 4th read is Sam Tanenhaus 's exceptionally rich biography of William F. Buckley Jr. It's a masterpiece.
