I'd love to see Tullock or Smith. My prediction is that the winner
will be some obscure person. Not a single one of us will be able to
think of what he's done.

People talk negatively about their experiences at Chicago. Unless you

The problem with all of this is that humans don't really fit the mold.
In other animals it is always the male who is adorned. The male lion
has the mane. The male peacock has the long tail. Even in less

I think that the main difference is that during the draft, young men
spent considerable amounts of energy avoiding the draft. In this case
there's no reason to suspect that men will enroll in college to avoid
the stop gap measures.

I'm somewhat familiar with ITT Hartford's executive program. For most
things like basic accounting, the expected people to learn it on their
own, they taught it at the office, or they paid for courses at local

Some time ago Mark Wilson sent in an email on copy protection harming

One of the best articles on statistics I've read. Includes an

If I recall Mancur Olson suggests that one of the reasons that post WWII
West Germany did so well is that all of Germany's special interest
groups were destroyed.
I'm inclined to agree although I know that Germany had tremendous
manufacturing ability even at the end of the war. However, why

Cropper and Oates have a pretty good survey article in the Journal of

I don't think money buys love. We give a lot of money to Egypt, and it
