  Radu Şimandan and Cristian Valeriu Păun on the Social Justice Agenda in Central Bank Research

  Jul 26, 202636 min

  “Central Banking Research Is Increasingly Directed to Environment, Inequality, Gender, and Race” — say Radu Şimandan and Cristian Valeriu Păun in a recent Econ Journal Watch article . Besides documenting the trend, they say it represents a further corruption of public institutions. “It is important to safeguard against mission creep, as an unchecked concentration of public power risks the same dangers of overreach and inefficiency traditionally associated with monopolistic power.”

  Michael Weissman on Lab Leak and Science

  Mar 30, 202627 minS0

Michael Weissman explains his EJW article, which discusses a fundamental error hiding in plain sight and initially pointed out by Angus McCowan. Weissman uses a simple analogy to explain the error.

  Dan Johansson on Economics without Entrepreneurship or Institutions

  Jan 1, 202635 minS0

  <p>Dan Johansson discusses his 2004 vocabulary analysis of graduate textbooks used in economics programs. He investigated their treatment of two sets of ideas. One is knowledge and discovery: entrepreneur, innovation, invention, tacit knowledge, and bounded rationality. The other deals with social rules: institutions, property rights, and economic freedom.
