Business Law and the Austrian Theory of the Firm
My Missouri colleague, Peter Klein, of Organizations and Markets fame (and, like Larry, a proud non-voter), has been asked to contribute a book chapter on the Austrian theory of the firm and the law. Peter, who has written extensively on the Austrian theory of the firm and maintains an online bibliography on the subject, is ... Business Law and the Austrian Theory of the Firm
Some Economics of Contractual Restrictions on Political Contributions by Cable Pundits
Jonathan Adler and Orin Kerr chime in over at VC to make the point that MSNBC’s rules against contributions from television personalities is pointless, or perhaps counterproductive. Here’s Adler: I agree with Orin that strict application of rules against political activity by journalists to opinionated commentators and hosts is silly. No one believes these figures ...

From Nick Rowe (HT MR) (see also): [L]et T be the time everybody else chooses, and let S be the time the sun chooses. So my reaction function is t = R(T,S). Assume that dR/dT>0, dR/dS>0, and dR/dT+dR/dS=1. What this means is that if everybody else gets up one hour later, I will get up (say) ... Following the sun, or not
Don’t blame me, I voted for nobody
Illinois has filled the Obama seat with a Republican. Too bad for the Democrats that (1) Blago couldn’t sell the seat; and (2) they didn’t want an election back when they could have elected a Democrat. And now Senator Kirk will be able to vote to continue the Bush tax cut in the lame duck ... Don’t blame me, I voted for nobody
Movies, capitalism and anti-semitism
Jean-Luc Godard’s getting an honorary Oscar which, as the NYT reports, presents a problem. Godard is “an avowed anti-Zionist and advocate for Palestinian rights,” and made a documentary which included alternating images of Golda Meir and Adolf Hitler. Most notably for present purposes, he told Le Matin in 1985: “What I find interesting in the ... Movies, capitalism and anti-semitism

Professor Mossoff is optimistic about the opportunities for players in the ... Patent Thickets: Lessons from the Sewing Machine War
Election 2010 and Financial Services Politics
I thought it would be interesting to blog some of the rumors currently circulating about what the election will mean for the makeup of the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Banking Committee. The makeup of the Senate Banking Committee is, I would argue, the single most important driver shaping financial services legislation. The ... Election 2010 and Financial Services Politics
When Google’s Competitors Attack …
We’ve discussed the all too common tactic in antitrust of rival’s complaining to government agencies to get them to bring antitrust complaints. There is nothing particularly special about this tactic. As I’ve pointed out in the context of allegations by Microsoft and Microsoft-supported rivals of Google, conventional economic reasoning suggests that, without more, complaints from ...

Indoors and outdoors whistleblowing
Today’s WSJ notes criticism of Dodd-Frank’s bounty provision for whistleblowers on the ground that it undermines the internal reporting provisions of the previous financial law, Sarbanes-Oxley.
