More on the Trump/Russia witch hunt

  • Posted on May 25, 2017April 23, 2019
  • by Philippe Lemoine

Some people have expressed frustration with my last post about the Russia/ Trump nonsense, on the ground that it’s not as detailed as usual. It’s true that it isn’t, but as I explained, that’s because I don’t have time. If…

The Nation published a piece about the history of Modern Monetary Theory. I’m very skeptical about MMT, but I’ve been meaning to read some of the literature about it for some time now. If you know a good introduction, please share…

  • Posted on April 25, 2017April 23, 2019
  • by Philippe Lemoine

A lot of people in the US, who often make the comparison with Brexit and Trump’s election, seem convinced that Le Pen can win the second round of the French presidential election against Macron in two weeks, but she really can’t and…

Democrats are shooting themselves in the foot by filibustering Gorsuch’s confirmation

  • Posted on April 3, 2017April 23, 2019
  • by Philippe Lemoine

Schumer announced last week that Democrats would filibuster Gorsuch’s confirmation, which is a remarkably stupid decision. Since he was nominated in replacement of Scalia, Gorsuch wouldn’t fundamentally change the ideological balance of the Supreme Court. This means that, if Schumer…
