A new Cowboy Economist video just hit the airwaves, this time on tariffs! I've tried writing this one numerous times since Jan 20, the problem being that explaining tariff incidence is complicated without drawing a graph or two. But, I did my best.

Cambridge U Press sent over the cover to my forthcoming book. I got to pick the basic design and then they work in title, author, etc. I like how they did so.

I think Forbes.com has at least a semi-paywall now, but here's me on why Social Security cannot go bankrupt. If SS disappears, that's a political and not an economic choice.

Contributed to a piece on CNN (me near the start and at the end) about Trump's impending recession. There ain't no silver lining, it just sucks.

Starting in 2023, I have taught a class each fall that is organized around showing the students how to explain economics to a non-economist audience. The final product is a student-generated report entitled Horned Frognostications (get it?!). Enjoy!
