Politics, economics, philosophy, travelogues, poetry, and more
I write about social science-y stuff and make podcasts, where I talk to people like economist Claudia Sahm and journalist Anatol Lieven. I live in Montreal and like falafel, the noosphere, and shrimp welfare.
Senior economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, dog lover, and new resident of Astoria, Oregon.
I write (sometimes well-written) posts about various topics including economics, politics, and philosophy.
Ethical veganism, effective altruism, U.S. foreign policy, intellectual history, human rights, and human wrongs.
