1. Blog on free market urbanism.
2. Banks and the Irish economy.
3. Monetary policy uncertainty has gone up, and here.
4. A good exposition of the autism brain scan results; see also the comments.
5. Oddly, the U.S. still partakes in sovereignty disputes in the Caribbean.
Can it really be a blog about “free market” urbanism when its so clear about having the goal of “getting people out of their cars”? It would seem that an actual free marketer’s only real concern would be ending subsidies for and restrictions against cars AND ending subsidies for and restrictions against mass transit (both public and private) so that people could choose whichever best suited their needs without either needless restriction or forcing others to pay their way. Anyone who is really about the market isn’t about achieving certain ends, other than creating a platform where markets can work efficiently.
It would strike me as odder if the U.S. just abandoned their offshore sovereignty claims for no particular reason.
Regarding the links on inflation variability, this is hilarious. This increase in such variability is pretty clearly due to the sudden rather sharp drop in inflation last year. Oh, this is supposed to justify the latest round of bubbling in the gold market? Do people really think that if we go into outright deflation and an actual GDP double dip, that the price of gold is going to soar through the roof? The rank stupidity here is almost too much to bear.
government makes transportation more expensive…and the socialist ignore it.
Adam,
No, I’m the one who owes you an apology. I was skimming and saw several paragraphs that summarized the views of others and a few that eviscerated Randal O’Toole, which I reflexively interpreted as anti-car rather than anti-car-subsidy. One should not form opinions when one is working on three hours of sleep and too tired for basic reading comprehension.
I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this article.
Article is very nicely written.
