I will not pass judgment about the event which involved the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, Enola Gay , there is nothing easier than to judge in hindsight. I try to stick to the facts as much as possible. These facts do actually start in 1937. What is often ignored in the whole debate of the dropping […]

Taking It From The Top: Though more than a century has passed since the outbreak of the First World War, there remains a deeply-embedded fraction of the New Zealand state apparatus which continues to regard New Zealand as simply a loyal cog in a much larger and more powerful imperial machine.

I have a new working paper with Phil Magness. In this paper, we show a major methodological inconsistency in the estimates of income inequality produced by Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez for the period from 1917 to 2020.

Jude Clemente selects 5 subjects as a subset and does just that in the piece below. 5 Things I Truly Don’t Understand About […]

Adding marital status to the mix, the GOP advantage among married men shoots up to 20 points (59% Republican to 39% Democrat) and shrinks among unmarried men to just 7 points (52% Republican to 45% Democrat).

Below is my column in USA Today on second indictment of former President Donald Trump. While many are celebrating the charges, the implications for free speech are chilling. While Smith did not charge incitement or insurrection (or seditious conspiracy), commentators (and Special Counsel Jack Smith) portrayed the case as holding Trump accountable for the actual…
