“Big data is often a big bust, but not always. Big data has resolved a longstanding debate about when ‘liberal’ first acquired a political meaning. And, what do you know, Friedrich Hayek was right. I use big data in a scholarly article published in the Journal of Contextual Economics, showing decisively that a political meaning was christened ‘liberal’ — for the first time — by a bevy of Scottish thinkers.” (12/10/24)
