Trump's Economic Policies: An Assessment, Part II
by David R. Henderson via Defining Ideas
In this essay: What the president has done wrong. 
Issues 2020: The Trump Economy – Solid but Not the GOAT
Oren Cass, Manhattan Institute

America’s economy has experienced a long, gradual recovery from the Great Recession of 2007–09, which was the nation’s sharpest downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Certainly, conditions are better than 10 years ago, when the unemployment rate peaked at 10%. But in any business cycle, the peak looks better than the trough; more meaningful is a comparison across cycles, between one peak and another. In that context, America’s current economic performance remains disappointing. Read more here....
Pax Americana
by Michael R. Auslin via The Claremont Review of Books
For internationalists, institutionalists, and liberals of various sorts, the past two decades have uncomfortably proved the perceptiveness of Samuel Huntington’s 1996 jeremiad The Clash of Civilizations, itself a response to Francis Fukuyama’s 1992 article “The End of History” and subsequent book. Even if civilizations per se are not clashing, that an era of revived great-power competition threatens global stability is largely recognized as the great international relations challenge of this generation

Five pillars are key to understanding the main areas of debate about the nature and scope of administrative agency action: nondelegation, judicial deference, executive control of agencies, procedural rights, and agency dynamics. ​

The Battle of the Nile in 47 BC saw the combined Roman-Egyptian armies of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra VII defeat those of her rivals Queen Arsinoe IV and King Ptolemy XIII and secure the throne of Egypt. Here: Cleopatra and Caesar (1866). Painting by Jean-Léon Gérôme. Public domain.
An early Persian internal war:  painting of Cyrus and Astyages by Jean Charles Nicaise Perrin. Public domain.

Michael E Vlahos of Johns Hopkins continues the discussion of a possible American civil war  — currently.
      The previous king used the national security apparatus to forward his own goals.  Marius had been Sulla’s old commander, were close friends.  In Rome: the sanctity of office; how Consuls were elected and served. Eventually, Sulla had to declare Marius an enemy of the State. Once the requirements were overturned, then everyone understood that it could be done again – which led to Caesar, and the end of the republic.  Red and Blue together have allowed impeachment to become a normative political tool. A huge mistake. Soon: the losing side will declare the winning side to be illegitimate.    In 2000, the Supreme Court decided who was president, which stopped that process. Now, however, the Court is no longer is in such high esteem. Current American process cannot be stopped because the gravity of the matter is not recognized; Blue thinks it's doing the right thing by pursuing its goals, which can in turn set in motion a most dangerous set of events.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulla%27s_first_civil_war

The Little-Known Reform That Could Improve States’ Fiscal Health
Thurston Powers, E21
Many states across the nation are struggling with long-term financial liabilities. But not all liabilities are the same. Some are riskier than others. While we all intuitively know this, the way that the liabilities of state and local governments are reported often disguises and understates (or overstates) risks and costs. Presenting policymakers and the public with the range of potential outcomes could avert some fiscal crises. Read more here....
