    A Bill That Costs Too Much, Does Too Little

    Biden’s “infrastructure,” a fantasy mix of taxes and subsidies, is a poor second to systematic deregulation.

    Can We Stop The Clock? Replacing Seat Time With Mastery

    Every student who has ever watched the clock during class knows that seat time does not equal learning. The impact of COVID on student academic progress makes it more important than ever to refocus on how well students master the learning standards.  The good work of several educators show us how this can be done. The Hoover Education Success Initiative (HESI) hosted a discussion asking "Can We Stop the Clock? Replacing Seat Time with Mastery" on Wednesday, September 22, 2021. In case you missed it, watch the talk and read the recap here.

    A Revolving Door For Sirhan?

    Now that the recall election is in the rear-view mirror and the California governor enjoys job security for at least another year (if not more, assuming he’s safely re-elected next November), it’s back to business as usual for Gavin Newsom.

    Inequality/Opportunity Survey

    I was interested by a simple survey run by the Archbridge Institute on attitudes regarding inequality vs. opportunity, and  equality vs. equity issues.

    Integrating Political Science Into Climate Modeling: An Example Of Internalizing The Costs Of Climate-Induced Violence In The Optimal Management Of The Climate

    Extant modeling of the climate has largely left out political science; that needs to change. This paper provides an example of how a critical political concept—human security—can be accounted for in climate modeling. Scientific evidence points to an active link between climate change and the incidence of interpersonal and inter-group violence. This paper puts forth a new method to internalize the costs of climate-induced violence in the optimal management of the climate.

    Tragedy, Therapy, And The Challenge Of Jihad

    After a year of righteous anger and renewed patriotism, post-9/11 America returned to many of the dysfunctional orthodoxies and bad received wisdom that had helped pave the way for al Qaeda’s success. Foreign policy in particular quickly shifted from punitive kinetic realism to enhance our prestige and create deterrence, to nation-building idealism and cringing “diplomatic outreach.”

    Treasury Holdings

    Another great graph from Torsten Slok at Apollo. Foreigners hold less, Fed holds more. However, the Fed doesn't really hold Treasurys. The Fed turns Treasurys into interest-paying reserves, which banks hold. And banks turn reserves into bank deposits and other assets which we hold.

    From The Middle East To The Sahel And Throughout Africa: How Russia Pushes Western Powers Towards The Exit

    Sub-Saharan Africa, the Sahel, the Middle East, Afghanistan. Like an octopus, Russia has extended its tentacles to every crisis riddled corner, filling the void created by the withdrawal of Western forces. Occasionally partnering with Turkey to better share the imperial burden, Vladimir Putin has once again inserted Moscow as a major player on the international scene. To what extent can it take the place of democratic powers?

    Letter to the Editor: A Better Australia Sub Deal

    The Australian-British-U.S. submarine deal may be a brilliant stroke, but it was done without strategic imagination. What was needed was a three-cornered billiard shot — pivot to Asia, yes, but keep our European allies on board and continue the fight against nuclear proliferation.
