Markets and civil society rely on stable rules of the game. When government acts erratically, we’re much less likely to invest in America’s future. My latest for Persuasion: persuasion.community/p/what-erratic…

The president's tariffs aren’t just economically reckless—they betray the principles that gave birth to the US They sidestep Congress, defy the Constitution,& abandon our commitment to free exchange & consent of the governed. My latest Persuasion: persuasion.community/p/these-tariff…

The marketplace of ideas isn’t combat. It’s a contest—and contests, unlike wars, can make everyone better. Disagreement doesn’t mean destruction. It's a chance to grow. Don’t miss my conversation with Sabrina Schaeffer and Eli Lake at R Street Institute’s 2025 Real Solutions Summit 👇

If civic discourse is a muscle, America’s is atrophying. Let’s strengthen it again. Thank you Sabrina Schaeffer R Street Institute for reminding us that liberty takes practice. nationalreview.com/2025/06/self-g…

When the printing press was invented, it sparked widespread fear. So did the radio and the internet. Today, it is AI. In her essay for Persuasion, IHS President Emily Chamlee-Wright asks how we will respond.


American universities were founded to nurture free minds, not compliant subjects. If higher ed is to remain a cornerstone of liberal democracy, it must reclaim the values that make dissent possible. My latest in Inside Higher Ed: insidehighered.com/opinion/views/…

Universities were built to serve free citizens, not political regimes. In Inside Higher Ed, IHS President Emily Chamlee-Wright makes the case for why higher ed must reclaim its liberal foundation, before it’s too late: insidehighered.com/opinion/views/…
