The "state capacity" people should study Napoleon's creation of the modern bureaucratic state. Now THAT was building state capacity!
Living through Russiagate has made me much more skeptical of the character assassination against emperor Tiberius from the roman historians. It's quite the same sort of salacious but unverifiable stories as the pee tape.
Contra common opinion, Hegel was not some uber-German thinker. He was a Francophile, and viewed as a bit un-German.
Luke 24:39 assumes the existence of ghosts, though it does not quite assert it. A stray observation. "A ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have"

Hanoverian succession. Ideal would be post Glorious revolution but with Stuarts, e.g. if Anne had had heirs. As it was, royal ineptitude paved the way for oligarchical domination of the UK from then on, ultimately paving their decline.

Independent TikTok will likely be worse than original Tiktok for basically this reason. (Still the right call though)
Hamburger's book "Is administrative law unlawful" is mainly pretty good, but the chapter on Germany is just awful. I'll probably do a tweetstorm at some point
The only "problematizing" of a historical concept that I buy: The concept of "enclosures" in England comprehends so many distinct things that it is meaningless. The Tudor enclosures were an /entirely different/ thing than the 18th-19th C enclosures. Most don't realize this!
Non-competes seem mostly bad. But German firms are said to invest heavily in their workers because licensing is used as extremely powerful non-compete clauses (if you leave a company after having been trained, you cannot work in the industry) Dunno how to think about this.
Post WW2 France had a very technocratic focus that very much exemplified James C Scott's "high modernism" See a famous speech about expanding a military base (which lead to a successful protest against it)
By 19th C international standards, post Civil-War US was not at all very anti-labor or very pro-business. People often make extravagant claims that show a lack of perspective. (19th C international standards is not a very demanding comparison, of course)
Telling bald-faced lies to support radical Islam *is* her job and has been for over 3 decades. She covered the Bosnian war, 1992-95, exactly like she does Gaza now: Taking jihadist press releases and treating them as established truth with zero vetting. "This is CNN"

Saw the Girl in Red concert in Arlington. What an odd concert. Props to the singer though, she powered through a bunch of technical issues. I aspire to someday have anything like Marie Ulven's autistic stage presence.
Some further background context to Cesar Chavez's well known opposition to illegal immigration-a primary issue for Mexican American voters in mid century Texas was to limit competition from Bracero labour an issue in which they were opposed by largely Anglo farm owners.

@PallaviGunalan AND HE IS RIGHT TO DO SO
@PseudoVoegelin He has - needs? - a focus beyond just "politics", and when he is on the track of something he is relentless *and fronts the issue rather than his take on it*. He definitely a demogogue to some degree, and wholly an activist in the purest sense, but he doesn't deny it.
@PseudoVoegelin We shall catechize the robots
I like when you can track someone's political evolution by the names they chose for their kids: "Our oldest are the twins, Reagan and Rand. Then we had Otto, and we just welcomed baby Sulla!"
"Gulf coast Straussianism" is an amazing moniker for everything even remotely resembling @AuronMacintyre, et al.
For the intellectual niche of New College under @realchrisrufo, I propose "Gulf Coast Straussianism," or a variant of "West Coast Straussianism" that emphasizes the importance of aesthetics for redeeming modernity and also reconciling elite theory with the US Constitution.
@TastelessAlex @opinonhaver sure, but it's impossible for a few dozen people to institute Medicare for All, but very possible for them organize a local food bank
Why? Since when does tenure establish a separate class in the eyes of the law lol?
@PseudoVoegelin Many industries have profit margins in the ~1% region on individual goods
A lot of trad midwits learn the idea that "infant mortality disproportionately affected life expectancy" then believe "everything was fine if you survive birth and anyone who thinks otherwise is actually a lib trying to lie about the utopian past".
Friendly reminder that most liberals still think the human lifespan used to be ~35 prior to vaccines and the Industrial Revolution. They think you just rolled over and died at 35. No really...go ask your liberal friends right now. Their answers will shock you.
@PseudoVoegelin Anyway, I find historical political economy so fascinating, will have a thread out soon on how to understand the evolution of the US “battle of ideas.”
@MattBruenig @PseudoVoegelin @PoundstoneWill Setting aside the impact on the benefit side, there's a distinction between total fiscal capacity and redistributive fiscal capacity. You have more redistributive capacity if benefits and taxes are more targeted.
@PoundstoneWill docs aren't insurance companies, and don't want to be
@PseudoVoegelin @SohrabAhmari That's basically the same kind of argument that his political heirs (the libertarians) still make today. At least the intelligent ones do. The dumb ones just equate corporate welfare like Disney running its own local government with "the free market"
WHO estimates as many as 500K children go blind from Vitamin A deficiency each year, and the Philippines is one of the most affected countries.
Disastrous news from the Philippines- the Court of Appeals has sided with Greenpeace and the antis in blocking vit-A enhanced Golden Rice, which is now in widespread cultivation in the country. All planting must now stop, harming the interests of millions. philrice.gov.ph/philrice-ackno…
@PseudoVoegelin One factor that especially complicates things for the US pre-WW1 is that the intrinsic nature of the country (ie huge internal market with free immigration and capital flows but also protectionism of some degree) was so pro-business that certain regulations were more necessary.
@PseudoVoegelin It's easier for me to say that within national political economies that say that the Wilson or Lloyd George governments were "anti-business," although "anti-business" and "anti-market" were ofc not the same (trade policy most notably).
@PseudoVoegelin I get what you're saying, but I mostly just have a really difficult time fitting national political economies into pro/anti-business boxes pre-WW1 across the many dimensions of trade, labor, welfare, taxation, inheritance law, competition law, banking structure, etc.
@PseudoVoegelin Anyway, Richard Bensel is my favorite re late 19th century political economy, and does a good job of illustrating how a commitment to laissez-faire was the exception (ie Grover Cleveland) rather than the rule, but a kind of Yankee Bismarckianism substituted for welfare state.
