    Newsom Isn’t Shy, And Feinsten Isn’t Retiring

    Difficult though it may be to fathom for Californians unfamiliar with harsh driving conditions, common sense dictates turning with a skid—not against it—when a vehicle starts to lose its traction.

    Advanced Cognitive Skill Deserts In The US: Their Likely Causes And Implications

    Middle schoolers in U.S. counties where fewer adults have advanced cognitive skills seem less likely to develop advanced skills themselves, according to a paper to be presented at a Brookings Papers on Economic Activity conference on March 25.

    The Nature Of Chinese Contempt For Us

    China welcomes U.S. self-loathing that it interprets as weakness and decadence to be exploited not as self-reflection to be admired, much less emulated.

    Inflation Options?

    From Torsten Slok at Apollo. Torsten explains Current pricing for caps and floors shows that the market sees a 30% probability that inflation will be above 3% for the next five years, and a 5% probability that inflation will be below 1%, see chart below. A similar worry about high inflation can be seen in 5-year breakevens, currently trading at 2.5%, the highest level since 2008.

    ‘Accelerate Change Or Lose’: Applying Gen. Brown’s Action Orders To Cyberspace Education And Training

    Following the SolarWinds intrusion, a growing symphony of cyberspace and intelligence agencies continue to earnestly scour their networks, carefully examining cascading effects associated with the world’s largest cyberattack. Unbeknownst to many, a similar and equally devastating SolarWinds-like problem quietly persists throughout the Air Force.

    Fortieth Anniversary Of The Flat Tax Movement

    March 25, 2021, is the fortieth anniversary of the beginning of the flat tax movement. I include an op-ed that was published on March 25, 1981, in the Wall Street Journal. I wrote it four months after Ronald Reagan’s Tax Policy Task Force submitted its report upon his election. My motivation for the op-ed was that while the Task Force’s recommendations, which were largely adopted, improved the then current federal income tax code, they did not go nearly far enough to simplify and fix other flaws in the tax code.

    The Solution To Expensive Housing Is More Housing

    Finally, a book by a New York Times reporter who understands the crucial link between restrictions on the supply of housing and the price of housing! Golden Gates, by economics reporter Conor Dougherty, is a tour de force. It’s a rare book that mixes careful, nuanced reporting, painless economics lessons, interesting history of California, and pitch‐​perfect humor, but Dougherty has written one.

    Can The Biden Administration Stop China?

    The acrid atmosphere last week in the Captain Cook Hotel of Anchorage, Alaska, with its vivid murals of the 18th-century British seafarer’s discoveries throughout the Pacific, sounds very much like the acrid atmosphere almost exactly 60 years ago in the Beaux Arts U.S. and Soviet embassies in Vienna. Grim, at least for the United States.
