My UCSB Faculty Research Lecture on "How Economics Discovered Women."

Warning but not apology: There are a lot of opinions.
Sorry about the cough--pollen season arrived early this year.

This is a must-read for anyone reporting on the Trump regime's proposed deal with 9 universities. Conclusion: "Universities’ only proper response to this “compact”...is to offer absolutely nothing." Don't miss the speculation about why these 9--prestigious enough but potentially soft targets.

Judge Immergut quotes James Madison from the
Records of the Federal Convention of 1787: “A standing
military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The
means of defence [against] foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at
home.”

Some problems have simple solutions. This new “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” is one. The answer is simply saying no.

Simple does not mean easy. But Brown, Dartmouth, MIT, Vanderbilt, Univ of AZ, UPenn, USC, UT Austin & UVA must understand what they’ll lose if they sign on.

So much of academia runs on silent, collaborative service, requiring mutual goodwill to sustain it. That a few universities would sign letters to get them better deals w/ a corrupt administration… I don’t see how those universities survive in the long run. The rest of us just need to say no.

Looking at the 9 universities that have been asked to sign and wondering which promotion, manuscript, etc reviews I will be saying no to if they acquiesce. No free services to regime tools.

Hegseth's grasp at macho militarism, including pretty explicitly calling for soldiers to commit war crimes, reminded me of Barbara Ehrenreich's reaction to Abu Ghraib: "It is not enough to be equal to men when the men are acting like beasts."

"The group includes the former Fed chairs Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke, in addition to a long list of former Treasury secretaries, including Janet L. Yellen, who served under Biden; Timothy F. Geithner, who served under Obama; and Henry Paulson, who served under President George W. Bush."

A group of top former economic policymakers warned the Supreme Court on Thursday not to allow President Trump to immediately remove Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve Board, saying such a move would threaten the central bank’s independence and erode public confidence in the economy.
Top Economic Leaders Warn Supreme Court to Allow Lisa Cook to Remain at Fed, for Now
In a brief filed with the court, former Fed chairs and U.S. Treasury secretaries cautioned of erosion in public confidence in the Fed’s independence.

Whatever else you think of him, I don't think he is insincere about this stuff, and it should be recognized as extraordinary that he, Pritzker, and other governors are talking about the federal government in these terms. It's not normal political rhetoric, it's the language of existential emergency.

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

And, I can't help pointing out an error on p. 4. The CSWEP award honoring economists who have advanced the status of women in economics is the Carolyn Shaw Bell award, not the Elaine Bennet Prize (a research prize for early career folks). The CSB Award is also not restricted to women economists.
