This is a good review of ā¦@epoppppā©ā€™s book by ā¦@LDHerrineā©, usefully paired with ā€œPublic Citizensā€ by Sabin. I largely agree with where Luke came down: Berman gives the neoclassical economists too much credit by taking them at their word. https://t.co/Xubjo9RybC

Richard White

@B0BHitt @RrjohnR .@TJStiles_Author's "The Last Tycoon" is a great and highly informed popular account of 19th C anti-monopolism. Covering a slightly later period, Richard White's Railroaded is, among other things, a useful excavation of anti-railroad anti-monopolism.

@DavidAstinWalsh Thomas Leonard, the author of Illiberal Reformers, is affiliated with that program and the book reflects their worldview: Lochnerism is egalitarian; anti-Lochner progressivism is secretly reactionary eugenicism.

@jcbecker_econ jk I read *all about* Burke in "The Making of the English Working Class" by Thompson, and I have news for you: he sounds like a moron.

@haroldfeld Nathan Englander's short story What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank is a fantastic depiction of this, if you haven't read it.

The World of Yesterday

Stefan Zweig

I say this very advisedly: the FedSoc-generated freakout at Stanford Law is redolent of the Nazi provocations Stefan Zweig writes about in The World of Yesterday, and they had exactly the same resounding success.

Marshall Steinbaum šŸ”„Marshall Steinbaum šŸ”„

Just read ā€œTrustā€ by Hernan Diaz, and this sounds exactly the same as the financierā€™s bombastic self-serving narrative of the Great Depression (no coincidence Iā€™m sure that insofar as thereā€™s any substance itā€™s cribbed from Friedman and Schwartz) https://t.co/UHwVCrKiTO
