Last week’s post presented evidence on the shift of the American Economics Association (AEA) meeting papers towards the study of gender, race, and inequality. That analysis focused exclusively on the AEA’s annual program at the annual Allied Social Science Association (ASSA) convention. There are a number of other organizations that participate in the ASSA meetings, which they are allowed to do at the recognition of the AEA. The largest of these other organizations is the American Finance Association (AFA), which runs a similarly robust program of academic papers.

Hello. It’s launch day. Here it is. Articles of Interest season 3 episode 1: Man, I can’t believe it. While I have truly world’s best editor, engineer, and fact checker by my side (and some of the greatest musicians), it has been mostly a solo journey. So of course every other day I’m like “what have I done, was this whole thing stupid?” But it’s too late now! It’s out!

This chapter might be my favorite. Because now we get into the 70s/80s… this moment when Ivy becomes Preppy. (By the way! Look what New York Magazine is telling you to do!

This interview with Danny Slam, vocalist for early 80’s SoCal Hardcore band America’s Hardcore was conducted in 2007 for the Double Cross site and was later used in my third book, Straight Edge – A Clear-Headed Hardcore Punk History. How did you first find out about Hardcore Punk? Danny Slam: When I was 16 I hooked up with this crazy 19-year-old punk chick at my work. She turned me on to all kinds of cool shit like the Dead Boys, the Cramps and the New York Dolls She was a punk in the real original way.

Dylan Evans has a strange and beautiful mind. He is a polymath and a writer’s writer. He also speaks beautifully through a smoker’s baritone. When he told me he had a new podcast series, my eager ears pricked up. Before I share that podcast with you, a little Shelley is appropriate.

This is the fourth installment of Cookbook On A Budget, in which I share cookbook recipes that aren’t unkind to your grocery bill. For more, check out Via Carota’s Onion Soup, Ruby Tandoh’s Eden Rice with Black Beans and Plantains, and Vishwesh Bhatt’s Saag-Style Collards. I have, for the most part, figured out how to feed small groups of people in my apartment. I have a tiny galley kitchen with no counters, which means that I have minimal prep space and it’s hard to maintain a conversation between kitchen and living room.
