Democracy vs. The Constitution. John Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it.". Wednesday, August 25, 2004. Run this way that seems flawed. With a base locked up as solidly as his is (and an equally unshakeable base supporting Bush), why not appeal to swing voters in as bland a way as possible, by being just 1 tick mark to the left of Bush in all ways. But that's just the political strategy. My question is, should he run as just a bland ABB candidate? Enact specific policies, appoint a spe...

Democracy vs. The Constitution. John Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it.". Tuesday, March 29, 2005. Theory of Goodness, brought to you by Linear Transforms. Instead, economics would tell me that a person’s moral worth is measured by how much they don’t. Give to charities (well the negative value of that, of course). From the beginning, introduction to economics again. Of course not. Even if I offered you $50 to do so? So my utility function would be something like:. U = (C1) .5 3*...

Democracy vs. The Constitution. John Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it.". Monday, February 28, 2005. In deciding whether we can trust our leaders. I think most political scientists believe that B is the answer. Particularly looking at the infamous story of the Hawley Smoot Tariff. Was my first game theory professor’s favorite analysis. Does the empirical history support either hypothesis? So which do you think happens more often? PS: Of course, this ignores theories C and D, that Con...

Democracy vs. The Constitution. John Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it.". Friday, August 22, 2003. Absurd subsidies, and how to get rid of them. One of the most important causes and political sites out there, Kick All Agricultural Subsidies. Look, agricultural subsidies are idiotic. We spend taxpayer money, (over $300 billion across the western world, that's $200 a person a year at least), to fund uneconomic farms, most of which does not. Well really, why do we have them? No subsidy ...

Democracy vs. The Constitution. John Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it.". Friday, April 29, 2005. Our Constitutional system seems both intellectually and practically flawed in so many ways, but I’ll never forget when I first became disgusted by it. The Conference Committee. Where measures with wide public support but are an annoyance to the leadership, go to die. Posted by Blue @ 12:02 PM. Http:/ expost.blogspot.com/2005/04/waldron-yoo-debate-on-torture.html. I have to admit that Pro...

Democracy vs. The Constitution. John Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it.". Wednesday, January 26, 2005. Of Course, Why Have it At All? Readers will know I dislike the Constitution largely because it gets in the way of democracy so goddamn much. Still, there is the question whether democracy itself is even "the good". Interesting paper. I found over at the very libertarian Mises Institute Blog. Posted by Blue @ 9:42 AM. Defense is Out of Control. and Aparently Rightly So? The people wo...

Congrats to him. He has a fun post about free-trade. If the benefits of free-trade to the third world are news to anyone (and hopefully they won’t be for my readers, I do repeatedly link to KickAAS. After all), please go read it. Imagine a scenario where a new trade policy causes 3 things:. Nonetheless: the economics i...

Democracy vs. The Constitution. John Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it.". Wednesday, September 01, 2004. So apparently many third world countries owe us a ton of money. Billions of dollars, in return for the loans we made to said countries over the past few decades. The debt is killing their economies, whilst we have almost no hope of getting the money back in a reasonable manner. As much as it's tempting for some theorists to believe it's desirable for there to be a multi-polar or b...
