Abstract Judge Richard Posner's recent book, "Law, Pragmatism, and Democracy", is a major contribution to the ongoing debate over the best conception of democracy and the role of judicial review within it. Posner urges that political and legal decision-makers should be guided by what he calls everyday pragmatism rather than worry about abstract moral considerations (chs. 1-2). He links this concep
One of the nation's most influential judges and legal writers, Richard Posner, is retiring as of Saturday from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. Posner has written more than 3,300 opinions in nearly 36 years on the bench, along with scores of books.

On May 13, Knowledge@Wharton, the online journal of the Wharton business school at the University of Pennsylvania, published an article entitled "Why Economists Failed to Predict the Financial Crisis," and like the letter to the Queen the article criticizes economi
On August 6, Christina Romer, the chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, gave a talk entitled "So, Is It Working? An Assessment of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act at the Five-Month Mark." The reference of course is to the $787 billion stimulus that Congress, at the urging of the Administration, enacted last February. Romer answers the question in her title: "Absolutel
The prestigious Kirkus Reviews called the book “a motivational objet d’art that is both aesthetically pleasing and thought provoking.” Tom has poured through 43 years of work and found over 100 game-changing quotes from stellar “on the ground” performers that—if assiduously studied and implemented—will turn your world upside down.
