I will be proposing a “fake news futures market” and begin wrapping up my blog post series on conspiracy theories next week. In the meantime, I want to share two updates about my “Adam Smith in Love” paper:
- The final version of the paper has now been published in Econ Journal Watch (EJW) and is available here.
- Daniel Klein, the editor-in-chief of EJW, invited me on his podcast to talk about Adam Smith’s love life. A recording of the podcast is available here.

I will listen to the podcast and report back. Personally, I really like some of the papers I have read that were written by Daniel B. Klein.
Thanks! Yes, I am a huge fan of Dan Klein’s work, so I was tickled pink that I got to work with him on this paper!
I have to say it was a great podcast. The more I think about it, it is phenomenal that you are the first scholar to throughly expound upon Smith’s love life.
I am surprised it was a long neglected area of research.
