Publications, July

July was busy – pero busy! 3-weeks conference touring across the U.S. and so writing has been somewhat on the back burner. Fortunately, a lot of left-over writing was published this month and so made up for the dearth of production. Also, my pre-Harwood Graduate Colloquium reading summaries have all been comming out at AIER, so in total there's been a bunch of Joakim-esque stuff.

But the most exciting development was how my 'Mr. Darcy's Ten Thousand a Year' keeps reaping its rewards. Not only did I get tons of good feedback, mentions in various blogs and a re-publication in the Mexican magazine Letras Libres but it was recently picked up by HackerNews (of all places!) which drove a ton of people to read it.

Adam Smith Institute: (all my pieces here)

• [1] 'The Real Nordic Model: Higher Taxes on Low-Income Workers', where I make the commonsensical case that "Spending like Sweden means taxing like Sweden"
• This piece was cited and commented on by Ben Johnson at the Acton Institute, with the brilliant title 'New resources to understand "Nordic socialism"'. 

Notes On Liberty: (see all my posts here)

• I've not managed to post anything on Notes this month, but HackerNews included my Mr. Darcy's Ten Thousand A Year (the original Life of an Econ Student post is found here) and Naked Capitalism pretty much at the same time re-shared my review of Paul Collier's Future of Capitalism. Mr. Darcy is now, I'm glad to say, the most-read article on Notes.

  American Institute for Economic Research (all my pieces here)

• [2] HGC Session #1: 'What to Read on Money'
• [3] HGC Session #2: 'The Workings of the Gold Standard'
• This was reprinted, I am very happy to say, on ZeroHedge. I can now humbly think of myself as pretty cool!
• Re-published at Nation and State, MYBullionTrade and on some Dutch-Chinese Mining site (very strange)
• [4] HGC Session #3: 'Readings on the Fed and Monetary Policy'
• This was reprinted on WallStreetWindow.com. 
• [5] HGC Session #4: 'The Wonderful Technology of Banking'
• [6] In addition to my conference session readings, I managed to write a comment on the nomination of Christine Lagarde as ECB President ('The Choice of Christine Lagarde for the ECB') when those news broke.

Mises Institute (all my pieces here)

• [7] 'Non-Renewable Resources Never Really Run Out', for which a got some serious pushback. As it should be. 
• Re-printed at Principia Scientific. 
• Translated into Spanish and published at Centro Mises. 
• Re-published at TalkMarkets.
• [8] 'Social Pressure vs. Consumer Preferences', where I argue against the naïve anti-marketing/anti-consumer choice position. 
• Re-printed at WallStreetWindow.com. 
• Mentioned on the blog Austrian Economics Addict. 
• [9] 'You May Be Biased - But That Doesn't Make You Wrong', which, it turns out, was remarkably (and unconsciously, I guess) influenced by Max Gulker's 'Why Bias Will Always Be Part of Economics'. 

Nine articles in a month is, all things considered, pretty decent work. Some of that, however, is simply overflow from June. Nevertheless, we'll see what the future has in store.
