Monday assorted links

by  Tyler Cowen

1. Fentanyl seizures from Mexico are dropping dramatically (trend is pre-Trump), a good piece.

2. Good essay on Flushing, Queens.

3. Claims about Planet Nine.

4. “The analysis finds that legislators in the top wealth quintile are significantly more successful at advancing their policy agendas than their less-wealthy colleagues, while those in the bottom quintile face persistent disadvantages in the legislative process.”

5. “Despite the stories about British stagnation, the UK’s GDP per capita grew faster than median among the G8 the last 10 years. The real story is the US vs. the rest.“
