David BoazOn August 15, 1971, President Richard Nixon went on television and announced a three ‐part New Economic Policy supposedly intended to stop inflation and increase economic growth.

The Mystifying Arithmetic of Year ‐to‐Year Inflation Estimates
Alan ReynoldsAWall Street Journal editorial "The Fed ' s Big Inflation Miss" hinges on a graph showing the year-to-year percentage increase in the consumer price index (CPI) " increased at an annual 5.4% rate in June, after rising 5% at an annual rate in May. The Fed is way behind the price curve. Price increases would have to decline precipitously in the next six months to get close to the Fed ' s median June forecast of 3.4% for 2021. " By the measure cited, however, the average of the past six monthly year-to-year changes was 3.35%.One source of this and other misunderstandings comes from the habitual media use of year-...

Spaceballs
I wasn ' t feeling well yesterday so I couch potatoed for much of the afternoon. Not being a huge golf fan,* I couldn ' t find much to look at but cable news.

TikTok, Schrems II, and Cross ‐Border Data Flows
Julian SanchezInformation —you may have heard this one before—wants to be free, and on the global Internet, it flows more freely than ever. Governments are frequently less than sanguine about this fact—often for bad and censorious reasons, but also on occasion with perfectly valid motives, such as the desire to protect national security or the personal privacy of their citizens, which are in many cases overlapping interests. The past month saw developments in two fronts of the perennial struggle to reap the benefits of a borderless network while still maintaining a modicum of control over private data—and I bel iev...

Regular Gamblers Turned To Online Gambling During The Pandemic
By Emily Reynolds
Gambling is big business in the UK. According to NHS Digital, 57% of men and 54% of women reported gambling in 2018, while the Gambling Commission suggests that online gambling grew by 8.1% from 2019 to 2020.

Twins For Everyone!
By KIM BELLARD
I have lived my entire life as a twin, and, while it isn’t an unalloyed blessing, on balance I’d recommend it. Most of you, though, probably aren’t twins and have missed the experience. Don’t worry: you may still get a chance – with a digital twin.

Studying human capital depreciation over the life cycle has powerful economic consequences for decision-making in old age.
