I'm pleased to share a draft of my new paper, "W.H. Hutt, economic liberalism, and "iron-clad" white rule before the rise of South African apartheid" I focus on Hutt's first twenty years in South Africa, 1928-1948, to shed light on what came later.

I've always found it strange that people act like Ancient Astronaut Theory diminishes ancient peoples', when it's just an elaboration on what ancient peoples said happened: beings came from the sky and provided wisdom of various sorts and even stayed and intermingled.

@historyinmemes No, aliens did not build the pyramids. Our ancestors were given the first engineering knowledge from the so-called "guardians of the sky" who, according to the Ancient Astronaut Theory, were flesh and blood extraterrestrials who visited Earth long ago and imparted knowledge. They

@opinonhaver Yep. “There can actually be multiple bad things, not just The One Bad Thing” and “the best thing may still be bad” are hard realities for a lot of people to embrace. I think it’s that we think in hot takes now and that means it needs to stay short, simple, and extreme.

R&R at Journal of the History of Economic Thought! This was a very nice ref report intro!: "This is a terrific paper! I have no doubt that it will be nominated for the HES best article prize. So many puzzles are cleared up and new ones opened."

Yikes. Terrible, ignorant take. I hope this guy doesn't handle the papers on Marx at JPE, that could be a disaster.

People like Steinbeck because of how he humanized farmers, migrants, and workers, but the interesting thing is he humanized capitalists too.

You can learn a lot about a white person’s worldview from whether they think the default assumption is that a Black person who got a job is underqualified or a Black person who got a job is overqualified. A lot about their understanding of how society works is built into that.

In any event, the kind of racism Tucker is throwing at KBJ happens to Black people *all the time* in the legal profession. We're constantly asked to *re*prove that we're "qualified" by white people who are never satisfied no way. And all of us develop different strats to deal...

Our offer was accepted! 3.7 acres practically at the peak of the Blue Ridge, a few hundred feet from Shenandoah National Park and about half a mile from the Appalachian Trail, with a cozy little 240 sq foot shack (“cabin” seems too grandiose) that comfortably sleeps all of us.

The Iraq war was one of the main things that radicalized me as a 13 year old. Sure I was very cringe about it, but just because you’re cringe doesn’t mean you’re not right

You could certainly elaborate that Friedman was personally opposed to segregation, as I do in a forthcoming RHETM article. But there’s literally not a single thing in this paragraph that’s inaccurate. Pretending that’s not true is unhealthy for the history of economics.

@delong @amw_stanford I have no idea what he's thinking, but possibly something like that. I believe Ford. Something like that would be consistent with this level of anger which seems like it COULD be genuine (although people at this level can be pathological liars, so maybe it's a show).

@ProfDBernstein @teasri @Econ_Marshall @JakeMGrumbach You think Friedman was prescient because shortly before the end of a 15 year guerrilla war that the white supremacist government was losing Friedman foresaw a violent aftermath and attributed it to... the lack of white rule? This is prescient?

Mentioning Neumark and Wascher's (2000) reanalysis of Card and Krueger (1994) with EPI data but not mentioning Card and Krueger's (2000) reanalysis of Card and Krueger (1994) with payroll data in the same AER issue. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

There are lots of reasons why I think it’s insane that economists don’t do more qualitative research but the biggest reason is that I don’t understand why you wouldn’t be more excited than anything else to talk to people who live the reality of the thing you’re captivated by.
