Tuesday assorted links
1. Laura Miller on Elena Ferrante.
2. In praise of law reviews and jargon-filled academic writing. And more on the marginal value of a good teacher.
3. Why do people do good spontaneously? And Harvard responds to complaints about its faculty health plan. More on the crack team of Chinese monkeys. Dramatic but not ridiculous claims about China.
4. Scott Sumner dissents on reach for yield. I don’t think easier money will boost the American economy right now. So I think you just get a loanable funds effect and then possibly a reach for yield.
5. Peak things?
