No.

Americans reject this extremist insanity.

Constitutional checks and balances by our co-equal judiciary are not “insurrection”.

Judges exercising their constitutional powers is not “terrorism”.

Conservative and Liberal Americans will defend our constitutional order against military rule.

After the success of the first conference, the submission link for the second is already open tinyurl.com/ywcwz7ba. Submit by Dec 1. Workshop in Rotterdam 4-5 June 2026, jointly organised with Rotterdam Global Health Initiative and Erasmus School of Economics.

I was invited to Moscow in 2009 by the great economist Sergei Guriev to present my research.

Four years later, he was forced to flee the country in fear as the regime tightened its chokehold on academia.

All authoritarians strangle universities—because thoughtful dissent threatens their power.

Save the date! The fifth annual Scotland and Northern England Conference in Applied Microeconomics will be held from 5-7 May 2026 at the Crieff Hydro Hotel in Perthshire. Professor Steve Machin (LSE) will deliver the keynote. For more info:

Restricting visas doesn’t lead to hiring non-immigrants—it leads to hiring foreigners. For every H-1B visa rejection, multinationals add ~0.4–0.9 foreign employees, especially in R&D hubs like India, China, and Canada.

#EconSky

The US Administration has moved to kneecap our universities, and bar as many foreign students and scientists from the country as it can.

Reckless policymakers are destroying the American future and handing it to China.

Those in Congress entrusted to protect our future sit, flaccid, watching it.
