I was very excited to read that Claudia Goldin (Harvard University) was awarded the 2023 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel (aka the Nobel Prize in Economics) on Monday, “for having advanced our understanding of women’s labour market outcomes”.

Another reason why Palestine is largely responsible for its own plight: its leaders get rich taking money from the people
11 Oct 2023 Leave a comment
While I’m by no means an uncritical worshiper of the Israeli government, neither will I blame the war and its carnage on Israel’s “apartheid” policies. If there is an apartheid state among the two, it’s surely Palestine, which won’t allow Jews to live there (in contrast, I was just in Israel and saw that Jerusalem […]

I’ve written several times about the issue of the gender pay gap, mostly to point out that our friends on the left are wrong when they assert that there is pervasive and significant sex discrimination in wage levels. When debating this issue, the first thing I ask people is whether businesses want to maximize profits. […]

The assertion that all human knowledge is equally valid and the university is a site of power contestation makes it easier to understand the abandonment of fundamental academic principles, not least that of academic freedom (Doug Stokes in “Against Decolonisation” pp. 83-84). Becoming Ethno-institutions? As New Zealand Universities move further towards becoming ethno-institutions we state…

WSJ on why Claudia Golden deserves the Econ Nobel prize: For M.B.A. students who graduated from the University of Chicago’s business school between 1990 and 2006, the authors found almost no gender gap in employment or wages just after graduation.

Below is my column in The Hill on the exposure of the Biden family and its long-standing business of influence peddling.
