Cavalcade of Miscellany
1. During his administration, President W. Bush made us poorer with steel tariffs. Now, President Obama will make us poorer with tire tariffs. Is that supposed to be change I can believe in?
2. Congratulations to Melinda Miller of the US Naval Academy, who won the 2009 Nevins Prize from the Economic History Association for the best dissertation in American economic history. Here's an old MetaFilter post discussing her work and offering links.
3. Recent posts from John Cochrane, including his response to Paul Krugman's NYT Magazine article on how economists got it all wrong. It appears the gloves are off.
4. Sheldon Richman on the immorality of forcing insurance companies to cover preexisting conditions. It's a pretty good argument.
