What to Read on July 3, 2009
- Idolatry in a Free Society -- Bryan Caplan - This is one of those brief philosophical musings with brilliance in every sentence. Bravo!
- Obama Economic Forecast -- Spencer at Angry Bear (via Economist's View) - Quote of the day.
- Is A Half-Assed Climate Bill Worth Supporting? Probably. -- Bradford Plumer - Excellent point (re venture capital and clean energy innovation) that I wanted to make in my post on Waxman-Markey but didn't because I didn't have solid evidence. Here's good evidence that (1) clean energy has a high ROI, (2) more jobs will be created by Waxman-Markey than critics suggest, and (3) the benefits outweigh the costs.
- Carbon Tariffs: The Legal Aspects -- Paul Krugman - Very good news: reason to be optimistic about preventing carbon leakage from Waxman-Markey.
