  Richard Epstein on Polygamy Libertarian law professor Richard Epstein has a new column up at Forbes.com in which he argues that the Defense of Marriage Act should be repealed by Congress, not overturned by judges:
Richard Epstein on Private Bus Routes Libertarian law professor Richard Epstein has a new Forbes column up about New York City's desire to let private operators take over service on routes where the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and its unionized drivers have suspended service: "It is unconscionable for the City to create public service monopolies that allow the TWU to capture its lucrative contracts in the first place. As a matter of principle, let in the private vans all the time, regardless of whether budget cuts are needed. All union-run bus lines should always be subject to private competition, after which most will fail because of their inefficient work rules, bloated payrolls and overly expensive fleet." The issue was mentioned earlier here in a post on July 6. Richard Epstein on Public Sector Unions Libertarian law professor Richard Epstein has a new column up at Forbes.com outlining a plan for reforming public-sector labor. It begins with some amazing statistics:
His suggestions include "Reduce pensions for public employees to the levels received by their peers in private industry" and "deregulate, lower taxes and slash budgets." Richard Epstein on Eggs and Avastin Libertarian law professor Richard Epstein has a new column up at Forbes on the Food and Drug Administration's handling of both the salmonella eggs situation and the cancr-drug Avastin situation. I think he's a little too ready to support giving the FDA a big role in egg regulation, for reasons I get into here. But he's brilliant on Avastin: Two More Points on the Estate Tax Two more thoughts to follow up the earlier posts here and here on the estate tax. First, libertarian law professor Richard Epstein has a post up at Forbes.com making a series of characteristically wise and incisive points on the topic. Second, I spent this afternoon apple-picking with my family and some friends at a farm in Dutchess County, New York. In the farm store was a black-and-white picture of the father of the farmer. The farmer, with whom I had a prior acquaintance, was kind enough to spend some time showing me around, speaking with evident pride of the tomatoes (which were spectacularly delicious) and of his son, who, with a degree from Yale, has turned to managing the farm now. Richard Epstein on Markets and Segregation Libertarian law professor Richard Epstein has a blog post up at Forbes on free markets and racial exploitation in the South:
The review of Cotton and Race in the Making of America is also worth a read for those interested in the topic of racism and capitalism. ObamaCare Unconstitutional? Libertarian law professor Richard Epstein has a new Forbes column updating the state of play in one of the legal challenges to ObamaCare: "the question is whether state coercion can be used to overcome what the government sees as a free-riding problem by people who won't get insurance until they get sick." Government by Waiver Libertarian law professor Richard Epstein has a new Forbes column up on "Government by Waiver":
Richard Epstein on ObamaCare Libertarian law professor Richard Epstein has a new post up at Forbes about the court ruling finding ObamaCare unconstitutional:
Government By Waiver Libertarian law professor Richard Epstein, writing in the Spring issue of National Affairs: Richard Epstein on Free Trade and Fair Trade Libertarian law professor Richard Epstein has a new post up at the Hoover Institution Web site about free trade and adjustment assistance for those who lose jobs to overseas competition: "what would be the state of play in the United States if every time a new firm opened up in one state it was required to fund trade assistance for workers at other firms who lost their jobs as a result?...We have to take the same approach to international trade that we take to domestic trade. Those individuals who lose their jobs to foreign competitors are no better off than those who lose them to domestic competitors. These people should receive the same level of assistance, no more and no less." Richard Epstein on Campaign Finance Law Libertarian law professor Richard Epstein has a post up at Ricochet.com reporting on, and disagreeing with, Judge James C. Cacheris's decision in U.S. v. Danielczyk. Judge Cacheris is using the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, which said Congress couldn't constitutionally ban corporations from engaging in electioneering communications, to strike down laws banning corporations from making direct contributions to political campaigns. Professor Epstein writes, "The exponential risks of bribery seem pretty large." Professor Epstein also has a piece up at the Hoover Institution casting a skeptical eye on "Cass Sunstein's Regulatory Fiddling." Richard Epstein on Fracking Libertarian law professor Richard Epstein offers his thoughts on extracting natural gas from rock via hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking": "guarded optimism":
Richard Epstein on Taxes Libertarian law professor Richard Epstein writes:
Richard Epstein on Taxes "Raise Taxes on the Poor?" is the headline on the latest piece from libertarian law professor Richard Epstein, who makes the case for a flat tax as an improvement on the alternative progressive rate structure:
Richard Epstein on Buffett and Benedict Libertarian law professor Richard Epstein has a new piece up at the Hoover Institution's Defining Ideas site that takes on both Pope Benedict XVI and Warren Buffett. Professor Epstein writes, "A successful and sustainable political order requires stable legal and economic policies that reward innovation, spur growth, and maximize the ability of rich and poor alike to enter into voluntary arrangements. Limited government, low rates of taxation, and strong property rights are the guiding principles." He really gets Mr. Buffett with this section: Richard Epstein on the Cancer Drug Shortage Libertarian law professor Richard Epstein has a new piece up about price controls and a medicine shortage:
