Don’t mess with Texans (The Afghanistan war was a smashing success)Reading the news media, it’s easy to get the impression that America’s 20-year adventure in Afghanistan is ending in Vietnam-style ignominy, with reports of provincial capitals falling to the Taliban and ominous predictions that women’s rights are headed back to the dark ages. I’d like to suggest the opposite, that the war was a smashing […] The post Don’t mess with Texans (The Afghanistan war was a smashing success) appeared first on Econlib. read more

Biden Must Call Off The B-52s Bombing Afghan CitiesNine provincial capitals in Afghanistan have fallen to the Taliban in six days - Zaranj, Sheberghan, Sar-e-Pul, Kunduz, Taloqan, Aybak, Farah, Pul-e-Khumri and Faizabad - while fighting continues in four more - Lashkargah, Kandahar, Herat & Mazar-i-Sharif.

I note that our Senators have beclowned themselves (yet again) by passing, in rapid succession, a "bipartisan" $1.2 trillion and a "partisan" $3.5 trillion infrastructure bills, which now go to the House for approval and then to President Biden for his signature. The fact that *the money isn't there to pay for them* (despite optimistic claims by our politicians) is neither here nor there. They'll find it, somehow . . . or so they say.

A Tall Order
William Rees writes that, as we consume the latest IPCC report on climate change, we need to remember that the biggest problem we face is ecological overshoot: Ecological overshoot means there are way too many people using vastly too much energy and material resources and dumping too much waste. In more technical terms, humanity’s consumption of even renewable resources and our production of wastes exceeds the regenerative and assimilative capacities of the ecosphere. This is the biophysical definition of “unsustainable,” and a harbinger of pending systems collapse. Few politici... read more

Elizabeth I, Shakespeare, and British NationalismBritish nationalism became the driving force of British politics and culture during the reign of the Protestant monarch, Elizabeth I.
