Good piece on the work requirements debate.

Good blog post. But it would have been if he ended it by saying "I am a heterodox economist" and also specified he is the same type of heterodox economist as me.

Really great interview - thanks both!

Great thread. Saying something is "Made In the USA" requires an incredibly complex regulatory apparatus to define what "Made in the USA" means and validate claims.

Interesting piece! I kinda don't get the "It’s not just about a labor shortage." subtitle, though.

Good thread by @KAErdmann, responding to some of @balajis claims about the 2008 '"housing bubble".

Not necessarily - but if you attempt to bound what the optimal policy is for *US* workers, any plausible parameters you'd care to input would suggest substantial liberalization. Clemens and Pritchett have a nice paper on this:

This is a very good thread! I haven't seen this addressed so succinctly before. (Herb Gintis took like a whole 2 hour lecture)

Anyways, people should read the @MaryAnnMBates and Glennester piece on this:

This article makes a good case for working (money! Dignity!). The problem is that "work requirements" do not actually increase the number of people with jobs.

has a nice piece (targeting a conservative audience, so I'm sure you have substantial disagreements with it!) about how the New Deal and Great Society had very different administrative approaches.

Good post from @ernietedeschi
