Eberstadt is an absolutely brilliant scholar, whose opinions are founded in deep analysis and understanding. This is a written version of the speech he gave at the Annual Dinner at American Enterprise Institute, honoring the late Irving Kristol. This is well worth reading and then reading again. It is a hopeful message.
Democrats have touted the Biden economic plan as very helpful to the economy. They leave out the fact that all the stimulus in his plan comes from using debt, in the trillions, to get that growth. It is a plan that is economically bad. This article by an esteemed economist at American Enterprise Institute shows why that’s the case.
A very interesting essay showing the difference in economic recovery is not related to lockdowns, except in some surprising ways.
DeBlasio can’t seem to get anything right. Here he’s spending money he doesn’t have to maintain the support of the teachers’ union – as if they could go elsewhere. He’s a horrible joke gone mad.
The scholars at American Enterprise Institute are among the brightest and most thoughtful in America. In this compilation, nine of them offer their views on what the next president needs to do. They cover a range of topics from governmental reform, the pandemic, the looming debt crisis and others. I have not posted each of these essays but you can read them by clicking on the appropriate link.
I am really afraid he’s correct but pray he’s wrong.
Dan Henninger is one of the best writers on the WSJ editorial staff. In this insightful article he lays out how Conservatives and Liberals take an entirely different approach to thinking about the purpose of the Court. The left wants it to decide based on their policy preferences; the right based on the law. I’m sure my characterization of these views would be challenged by the left, but they would be wrong.
Two Harvard professors – one from the left and one from the right -Cass R. Sunstein and Adrian Vermeule, wrote a defense of the Administrative State in Law and the Leviathan. Many Constitutional scholars have long argued that the administrative state has become too much of a legislative body and too divorced from both the people it affects and the public who votes. As the Supreme Court has found, in some cases, this has gone too far. In my opinion, the Court has deferred much to much to Administrative Agencies. Mr. White wrote this review of the book taking on directly the Sunstein/Vermeule argument. For those interested in this subject, its an interesting review and you might even want to understand the argument better by reading the book.
This is well written history of controversial Supreme Court nominations similar to Merrick Garland and Amy Coney Barrett. I enjoyed the history lesson.
Matthew Peterson traces the roots of BLM to the underlying theology of Marxism. Peterson argues that we don’t take Marxist philosophy seriously enough because there is little public support for direct in class warfare. But the BLM movement draws on the underlying Marxist philosophy; however instead of class, BLM relies on race and other intersectional “victims” of “white privilege”. Their aim is to completely recast American society and they are being funded by elite foundations and supported by academia and media.
