Three from Brad DeLong
Yesterday I criticized Brad DeLong for, essentially, acting like a child. Today I want to draw attention to three posts from Brad DeLong–in none of which does he act like a child. The first is this post, correcting his mistaken ad hominem attack on Glen Weyl. The apology is well-taken. I only wonder where the ... Three from Brad DeLong
Some sense on stimulus
Apparently to some people, intellectual disagreements are intolerable, and those who disagree intellectually can only be the most pathetic, worthless thing on the planet: Republican hacks (of the “ethics-free” variety). I’m talking about Brad DeLong here. I mention this because I posted a comment to DeLong’s silly post (does anyone know Glen Weyl? Anyone think ... Some sense on stimulus

Bill's News
There’s good and bad news for Truth on the Market, and I wanted to share both with our loyal readers. The good news: Bill, co-founder of this blog and stalwart of our early blogging days’ focus on securities regulation and corporate law and governance, has accepted a new, senior position at the University of Arizona ...

The D.C. Circuit Re-Disappoints in Whole Foods: An Analysis of the Amended Opinions
Being a “glass is half-full” type of guy, I figured there was no way the D.C. Circuit’s decision on Whole Foods’ petition for rehearing en banc could turn out poorly: Either the court would grant the motion and correct the panel’s mistakes, or the court would deny the motion, setting up an attractive opportunity for ...

Are We Reinvigorated Yet?
Despite rumors, slogans, and “new” conventional wisdom to the contrary (See, e.g. here, here and the Obama campaign promise to “reinvigorate merger enforcement), it is apparently not the case that the current DOJ is not interested in enforcing the antitrust laws. Perhaps it never was. This interesting interview (HT: Danny Sokol) suggests that the DOJ ... Are We Reinvigorated Yet?
Principles for Bailout Management
I had the pleasure last week of participating in a bailout panel at William & Mary Law School. The William & Mary Federalist Society, which hosted the event, asked each panelist to address three topics: what led to the current situation, how the bailout plan will (or won’t) fix things, and suggestions for implementing a ...

The Butcher, the Baker and the Candlestick Maker (2.0)
My colleague Tom Hazlett strikes again in Barron’s on Google’s transformation from its initial reluctance to advertise and its desire to stick to the non-profit sector to an unrelenting market driven approach to its discovery that search-term clicks were … well … profitable. Here’s Hazlett: They discovered that Google’s clean page layout provided a clean ... The Butcher, the Baker and the Candlestick Maker (2.0)
No Google-Yahoo Deal
From the Google Public Policy Blog: In June we announced an advertising agreement with Yahoo! that gave Yahoo! the option of using Google to provide ads on its websites (and its publisher partners’ sites) in the U.S. and Canada. At the same time, both companies agreed to delay implementation of the agreement to give regulators ... No Google-Yahoo Deal
Feeding at the trough
I love it! Today saw the “biggest presidential election day rally [in the stock markets] in 24 years.” And why, you ask? Is it because the seemingly-certain Obama victory has calmed all our fears of economic catastrophe (to say nothing of terrorist-induced catastrophe)? Nope. According to Bloomberg, U.S. stocks advanced in the biggest presidential Election ... Feeding at the trough
For you statist libertarians out there
Tom Smith ups the ante with a brilliant post–far and away the best Obama endorsement I’ve seen yet. Here’s a taste, but head over and read the whole thing. Some may say, and you call yourself a libertarian. But I have decided I can be a kind of statist, big government, expansive regulation, high taxing, ... For you statist libertarians out there
