David Glasner — Saving a Very Old Paper from Oblivion
Update: David Glasner retracts his criticism of Cato. Retraction is in the link below.
On the Cato Institute as champion of freedom. NOT!
This reminds me of how Swedish Trade and Industry organisation and their research department handled one of their researcher after she'd presented a report in 2011 about how privatisation of welfare didn't result in more efficiency. They sacked her.
How about updating this in light of Mr. Glasner's retraction, as even Krugman and DeLong have done? Or is "suppressing" only bad when(supposedly) done by others whose ideas you don't like?

ReplyDeleteUm, that wasn't the "research" we were looking for.
