Tyler Cowen on Self-Deception and Political Failure
I’m not sure anyone in my readership is actually going to be interested in this, but that’s never stopped me before. One last item (I promise, for now at least) from Prof. Tyler Cowen: Self-deception as the root of political failure.
Granted, I majored in political science, which gave me some exposure to, and resignation in the face of, sentences like, “The endogeneity of voter participation holds back convergence at the median.” But even for non-poli-sci geeks, there’s some interesting ideas being discussed here, at least if you have a thing about self-deception and politics, which I obviously do.
