So here are a few of the things I've been reading all week:
- The great ‘far right’ myth (The Conservative Woman) I remember reading back a very long time ago by some French scholar studying the Thirties about the far left and far right reaching out at the extremes...
- Stop Meeting Students Where They Are (The Martin Center) We've been fighting this fight against lower standards for years. Alas, the people who believe only in boosting enrollments are the ones who end up being promoted to leadership positions.
- Texas woman shares why she chose community college certification over NYU master's (Hindustan Times) Yep, we're a bargain and a better investment!
- Sarbanes-Oxley Promised To Protect Investors. It Ended Up Freezing Them Out. (Reason Magazine)Oh my goodness me, the Mrs. had thoughts on this back in the day when she still did this for a living. I do know that IPOs ain't what they use-ta be...
- War is a Young Man’s Game (Real Clear Defense) Much of the snarking I heard from the Left on this came from people without military experience. Given the record of the last fifteen years or so, I'd say the flag ranks were due a good winnowing.
- Walmart, Once a Byword for Low Pay, Becomes a Case Study in How to Treat Workers (Wall Street Journal) This is an intriguing proposition, and I want to see the full Harvard Business Review piece when it comes out. But this reporter is one of the reasons why WSJ is in decline. She clearly is advocating for higher wages, yet her piece says next to nothing about causal links, as if we were to accept a potential post-hoc fallacy on its face as valid. This is just sloppy. That being said, the premise of well-paid workers being happier and more productive isn't exactly a new thesis.
- Will To Power (Claremont Review) Ideology cannot substitute for reality. But for the Left, it just might.
