Saturday assorted links
1. Victor Haghani and Robert Aumann.
2. 2019 Cato piece on the FCC and media regulation. And one of these sentences is very wrong, the others not. None of these sentences are wrong. Ayn Rand is still underrated, it is sad that I cannot find her 1963 FCC piece online, do any of you know of a link?
3. “Local decorators offer premium pumpkin decor for upwards of $1,000.”
4. “The total fertility rate has plummeted 42 per cent over the past decade, reaching an average of 1.03 births per woman in 2024, according to Chile’s national statistics institute…The drop outpaces the decline seen over several decades in many wealthier countries, and leaves Chile’s fertility rate below Japan’s.” FT link here. Since 2013, the number of vasectomies is up 900 percent. The article is interesting throughout.
5. William MacAskill review. And related comments from Seb Krier. And yes way out of date. An Agustin sums it up.
6. “Argentina spends $1bn to defend peso as President Javier Milei’s crisis spirals.” (FT)
