I am excited about the official release of this book on December 20th. It has been exciting to think deeply about a big question that animates our political disputes.

[Routledge Books @routledgebooks]

Should Wealth Be Redistributed? - A central contested issue in contemporary #economics and #politicalphilosophy is whether governments should redistribute #wealth.

In this book, a philosopher and an economist debate this question. @jroii @Steven_McMullen

@smarcorodriguez Thanks for doing this. If there are any other accounts of how the organization is shaping up I would love to see them. I am particularly curious to see how the CRC/RCA and ex-CRC/ex-RCA sorting works out.

@TLJHuntington My own approach is to pray, caffeinate, and don't worry about eating until after.

@smarcorodriguez Keeping up with SBC politics is exhausting report back if you figure it out.

[Steven McMullen @Steven_McMullen]

I am from Stillwater, MN. To most people that means nothing. But when I meet an academic pastor, philosopher or theologian: "That's where Loome's bookstore is!" Alas they are now closed and so my town will no longer be famous.

@causalinf I wonder if a marginal improvement would be to automatically designate a guardian (family member or social worker) who would have access to all records and have the ability to share records and consult with doctors in these situations just for continuity of care?

I'm excited to be on this program next month at the @ActonInstitute alongside my @HopeCollege colleague @Steven_McMullen, keynoted by @JordanBallor of the @TheCRCD, and organized by @DylanPahman. https://t.co/BfSYmR2VnY

@causalinf I was taught to always use the summary statistics to make an important part of your argument. You can compare populations, show evidence of an endogeneity problem, etc. Easier said than done, of course.

[Steven McMullen @Steven_McMullen]

@ash_craig I find them particularly useful in philosophy papers, since argument structure varies more than in econ. In empirical econ papers, they only function as hard to read tables of contents.

[Steven McMullen @Steven_McMullen]

@smarcorodriguez No, I am not. I will certainly pray for those who are though.

@glennbutner Unfortunately, terrible use of data is not something that most publishers are equipped to check or care about.
