Properly Political Scientists: The Great Barrington Declaration
By David Deavel on Oct 14, 2020 04:00 pm
Science does not give us all the answers. When it comes to forming policy, there are no technocratic answers. The Great Barrington Declaration is a sensible statement by a group of scientists daring to stand against the “consensus” of experts. It is based not merely on science but on prudent thought based on a ...

Global economic stimulus will lead to stagnation
Derek Scissors | InsideSources
The enormous amounts of credit extended to people and companies are not “stimulus”; this is fiction. Even when necessary, borrowing will slow global growth for many years to come.
Steven Kamin explores long-term monetary policy challenges, and Desmond Lachman adds that the Federal Reserve may be out of ammo to fight the economic slowdown.
The wall and the bridge
R. Glenn Hubbard | National Affairs 
 
New ideas, openness to trade, and technological advances have propelled the US economy to new heights. While America's dynamic economy has been the engine of our prosperity and opportunity, it has also been a source of our political division. Instead of constructing walls of protectionism and regulation, policymakers should work to build bridges to opportunity.
Short-term progress, longer-term challenges for the Federal Reserve

Milton Friedman was right about shareholder capitalism
Michael R. Strain | @MichaelRStrain | Bloomberg Opinion
 
In 1970, economist and Nobel laureate Milton Friedman wrote that a business' social responsibility is to increase its profits. This view, now under attack by a group of politicians and business leaders, is well grounded in solid economics, common sense, and practical considerations.
​A Partial Defense Of Milton Friedman's 1970 NYT Essay
by David R. Henderson via Econlib
To understand my story, you first need to understand Friedman’s basic point. Here it is in a nutshell: Managers are employees of corporations. In the decisions they make with corporate resources, they should be responsible to the corporation.

James Pethokoukis | @JimPethokoukis | AEIdeas
 Critics of Milton Friedman's doctrine often view the immediate postwar decades as an economic golden age that never turned into a golden century. And that failure, they say, is partly because of the rise of short-sighted capitalism that Friedman supposedly recommended. But what if this economic golden age was not as golden as we remember? 
How the State Can Guide NYC’s Fiscal Recovery
E.J. McMahon, Manhattan Institute

In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, New York City is facing its biggest economic and fiscal challenges since the mid-1970s. The Big Apple’s recovery prospects are uncertain and hotly debated, but this much already is clear: with tax revenues cratering, the city government’s pre-pandemic spending trends are simply unsustainable. Personal service costs, inflated by fringe benefits and inefficient work rules, are by far the biggest chunk of New York’s nearly $90 billion budget. Read more here...
