Below is a partial list — in alphabetical order, by author — of some the works I will be reading on my long flight to Haneda-Tokyo (note: all the works listed here are open access except for item #3):
- Aden Barton, AWOL from academics (via Harvard Magazine; hat tip: Tyler Cowen)
- Peter Boettke, Why read Adam Smith today (via SSRN)
- Andreas Ortmann & Benoît Walraevens, Adam Smith’s System (via Amazon)
- David Ozonoft, Scientific publishing in the digital era (via Environmental Health; hat tip: Brian Leiter)
- Michael L. Smith, Is Originalism Bullshit? (via SSRN)
- Ruanni Tupas & Veronico N. Tarrayo, The violence of literature review and the imperative to ask new questions (via Applied Linguistics Review; h/t: Prof Leiter)



Thank you for the link to “Is Originalism Bullshit?”
Originalism is certainly bullshit when the so-called originalists know how they want to decide ahead of time, then twist the words to suit their purposes. Thanks for the link to the paper.
BTW Enrique, I feel like your site has progressively become more and more unfriendly to readers and commenters. Why all the comment and subscription-related intrusions? Are you getting ready to launch a profit-based site? I have to keep coming up with email addresses that your site doesn’t know, in order to not be bombarded with questions!
thanks for your input; I am definitely not moving to a subscription model — these annoyances must be due to changes made by WordPress (which is the platform I use) — I will find out what is going on and report back soon!
