Here's a link to a new paper with "An 'Austrian' Model of Global Value Chains": scholar.harvard.edu/files/antras/f… It builds on this 1978 paper (journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.108…) by the late Ron Findlay, with whom I would have loved to discuss these ideas. Slides are here: scholar.harvard.edu/files/antras/f…

Yes, that is probably true. But I really want to emphasize the complementary research of my friends @JoshuaDAmmons @Shishirshky and @JustinTCallais who point up the many upside (and persistence) of nonviolent changes.

@MarkManger @wallstscope @SolutionOrganic @NathanPGoodman Hmmmm there is a good deal of studies on non-violent revolutions. Notably by Gene Sharp, Alex Chenoweth, @JoshuaDAmmons and @NathanPGoodman and @ccoyne1 on this

As a friend of the Cuban dissidents for close to a decade now, this would be the worst way to free Cubans of dictatorship. Here is the simple fact of the matter -- human liberty (and its institutions) is a a dimmer switch. It an ecosystem. It needs to grow in the soil in which it will florish. Its environment will make it unique in how it protects property rights, free speech, open elections, and open markets. The incentives that govern choice in any ecosystem will dictate the path, and these incentives can only be figured out by people there. External attempts at regime change will fail. What they risk producing instead is yet another Batista -- someone who begins on the far left only to become a right-wing dictator -- or a tinpot strongman enriching himself under the banner of communism (Castro). Cuba is an awesome place. Why insist on denying its equally awesome people the right to make their own choices?

We won our tariff case! A 6-3 decision. Yay!!!!! Much more to come later. Here is the link to the opinion: supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf…

It was an honor to see George Agbesi’s ideas come to fruition in Isonomia Quarterly. I am willing to bet that he’s a huge success after graduating from Wabash. isonomiaquarterly.com/archive/volume…
