Category: Links

Here is a sample of interesting links I have come across over the last week:

1. Advice on giving seminars from the author of LaTeX (via Kieran Healy at orgtheory.net).
2. Third-party candidates play a useful role.
3. Reflections on the iPod, contra Galbraith.
4. NY Yankees co-owner denounces (a different kind of) socialism.
5. This suggestion to balance the budget made a lot of sense to me.

1. Reason #1388 why I am never moving back home. And here is reason #1389.
2. You reap what you sow. Safe for work, but do not look up the definition: some things you can’t un-learn.
3. US vs. UK. I agree with most of this list, but the pizza in the US is not good. Well, maybe it is if the reference category is “British food.”
4. A good review of Linda Polman’s The Crisis Caravan.
5. An excellent initiative about plagiarism in economics. To make this work, I think they will need to add a few big names, however.
