If so, you need to get a pair of Bose QC35 headphones. I got a pair for myself and one for my wife a few weeks ago, and after having them for a while I’m absolutely thrilled with the purchase. I’ve told people I felt my pulse slowing when I put them on for the […]
I recently read an article “SEC and College Football: Is it still the dominant conference?” on the Covering the Business Side of Sports website. Here are my thoughts on the subject: This becomes remarkable when you consider population and enrollment. Ohio, for example, has over 11 million people while Alabama has just under 5 million […]
I became a Johnny Cash fan in college. His Live at San Quentin CD was a regular on a hallmate’s stereo, and over the next few years, I came to appreciate the Man in Black’s musical simplicity and personal complexity. In the decade before his death, he worked with Rick Rubin to record a series […]

Since 2010 I’ve been a contributor to Forbes.com. I agreed a few months ago to publish more, and ideally I’ll be producing 1-2 articles per week (at least). One of my major goals in this will be to summarize and apply research (recent and classic) in articles suitable for classroom use. Here’s what I’ve written […]

This reduces the amount of stuff we have to worry about. Here’s what we subscribe to: San Francisco Bay OneCup, Organic Rainforest […]

“Capitalism lacks romantic appeal. It does not set the pulse racing in the way that opposing ideologies like socialism, fascism, or environmentalism can. It does not stir the blood, for it identifies no dragons to slay. It offers no grand vision for the future, for in an open market system, the future is shaped not […]
The best 99 cents I’ve spent recently? iPhone Monopoly. It’s a great way to relax, the kids seem to like it, and it’s virtually identical to the original. It’s also a lot quicker than playing on the board because all the math is done automatically.
I suspect you’re not reading this on your Zune. Why not? Because the Zune failed. That the Zune failed in spite of backing by one of the world’s most powerful companies should give us pause when we think about “corporate power.” Products succeed and fail, ultimately, because consumers vote for them or against them with […]
Here’s an interesting documentary on the Emma Maersk, an ultra-large container ship. It’s worth 45 minutes of your time–as you watch, consider just how many people–and how many jurisdictions–are involved in what you see. In the video, Emma Maersk is carrying over 10,000 containers of cargo. Could the captain list a complete inventory of what’s on […]

A few thoughts for students from an economics professor: We know more than you, but this doesn’t mean we’re smarter. It just means we’re older. I’ve taught lots of students who are smarter than me, but I know a lot more about economics than they do because I’ve been studying it for about as long […]
