It is amazing, looking back, at the early conceptions of important economic concepts that Mises developed in Socialism (1922).

the dc streetcar's final week of service is upon us. it was born in a 2002 feasibility study, promised as a 33-mile network, delivered as 2.2 miles on H street with no fare collection, and is being replaced by a bus that does the same thing but can turn. $200 million well spent.

Lots of pro-Jones Act types are out insisting the waiver is unneeded because a) there is no JA vessel shortage and b) foreign shipping offers no cost advantage. If true, they should welcome the waiver. Will go unused and be egg on the faces of JA critics.

Scorching producer price index (PPI) inflation for February. Overall, 0.7% (8.4% annualized). Core PPI of 0.5% (6.0% annualized). Now is NOT the time for an “easy money” Fed policy and artificial interest rate cuts.

In 1907, a lightbulb cost $1.75 ($54 in 2022 dollars). After Corning’s first semiautomatic machine for blowing lightbulbs, better filaments and improvements to ribbon making machines, it fell to 10 cents per bulb by 1942. Moreover, twice as many lumen were produced per watt. A close to 98% reduction in the cost per lumen. Source: Brian Potter’s Origins of Efficiency, chapter 1, pp. 34-5

Many conservatives are remembering how Paul Ehrlich was wrong about all his enviro-pessimism and supposed constraints on growth, but all those views are the same concerns that fuel the anti-immigrant movement. Zero sum. Fixed pie. Misanthropy. People as "takers," not makers.
Iain Murray@ismurray

Let us not forget that for years Paul Ehrlich was an adviser to the anti-immigrant group FAIR, and is therefore partly responsible for the current anti-immigrant hysteria. This also may be the first time I have ever cited SPLC... splcenter.org/resources/extr…

In the late 1960's, Paul Ehrlich was advocating for cutting off emergency food aid to India. This would have caused mass starvation. When people say that he was evil, this is what they mean.

On March 16, 2006, I released the first episode of EconTalk, The Economics of Parenting. The guest was the very funny always insightful Don Cox: econtalk.org/the-economics-… It was just under 35 minutes long. At some point not long after, I realized I had to release an episode every week and settled on the length of 60 minutes. At some point after that, I realized I could go longer than an hour, though only a handful approach the two hour mark. Twenty years later, and 1040 episodes later, here is the 20th anniversary episode with the great @mungowitz who has effortlessly graced the program a record-setting 51 times. Audio here: econtalk.org/the-economics-… Video on the @HooverInst YouTube channel (a new distribution channel for us!): youtu.be/BDTHOrB6KvQ?si… Enjoy and thanks to all of you who listen.

Liberalism means limiting power, protecting rights, and sustaining open inquiry and pluralism. Those commitments don’t self-actualize. Read more from Jason Kuznicki: liberalism.org/p/what-early-l…
