“Our civil justice institutions are about 100 years old, dating back to the progressive era and the adoption of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. But the world has changed a lot since then. In particular, the number of transactions in society has exploded, as population growth, economic growth, and technological change have exponentially increased the activity in society that leads to disputes. Separately, alongside the rise in civil disputes, the cost of the time and attention of legally trained experts has skyrocketed, rising faster than inflation for generations.” (03/27/26)

“[W]e require no heroic assumptions to understand that free immigration is good. New people and different ways of doing and seeing things mix with the existing cultural elements to produce, on the whole, innovation and immense general benefits. (See the work of Julian Simon and Matt Ridley.) All we need is freedom, an expectation of self-responsibility, and no government interference. In those conditions, reality and capitalism teach and reward virtue.” (03/27/26)
