Googling suggests 3% of men in a community are sexual predators so if "over a dozen" out of 1,500 are sexual predators that's probably (depending on what "over a dozen" means) lower than national rates, and certainly not significantly higher.

New paper on W.H. Hutt's analysis of Nazi economic policy in two unpublished lectures. Hutt provides a nice case study for thinking about the diversity of neoliberal thinking on "liberal dictators." His analysis is idiosyncratic, which I think makes it interesting!

Three other good ones I’ve finished recently. Frequent fall cabin trips means lots of audiobooks :)
Thanks for the recommendation on Railroaded @econmarshall.bsky.social. Probably my favorite was the Elvis biography though - I learned a ton from it.

Started this today. One of those books I’ve been meaning to read (er, listen to) for a while and now I’m kicking myself for waiting this long.

I’m reading the War on the Rocks piece with an open mind because I want the military to be thinking about these issues, but this framing of different types of liberalism is an awful start.

These people are so weird sometimes and seem unfamiliar with normal family dynamics. We call my parents and even my grandparents cousins aunts and uncles. My cousins kids call me that. Hell, Kate and I have an old college friend who’s kid calls me “uncle Dan.”

New publication from me, in a special issue on Buchanan and public debt. I look at Buchanan and two other early critics of Hansen and Lerner and talk about how their close familiarity with the Southern public debt experience made "we owe it to ourselves" tough to take seriously.

I find this white conservative excitement over exclusively conservative (or conservative coded in the case of Fryer, I don’t know how conservative he is personally) Black economists so insulting. Take Sowell. He’s legitimately brilliant but his major contributions weren’t on the economics of race.

Yep. Basically all GDP critiques boil down to "imagine GDP was meant to do something other than it was meant to do, THEN it is a bad measure," which is needless to say not very persuasive.
That GDP is not a well-being measure does not mean there's anything wrong with GDP.
