Randomized Controlled Trials: Could you be any more scientific? The book I’m now writing, Unbeatable: The Brutally Honest Case for Free Markets, insists that the randomistas of the economics profession actually have a thinly-veiled political agenda. Namely: To get economists to humbly serve the demagogues that rule the world instead of bluntly challenging their unabated…

Cool chart which is split up by regions so it’s easy to find nations like little old New Zealand ($US 252 billion) and Israel ($539 billion). I was a little surprised at the latter as I thought they’d be much bigger with all the high tech companies they have, as well as having a population […]
