Does President Donald J. Trump control his administration? New IRS commissioner this week, appointment revoked today. Declaration of legal war against Harvard last weekend, labeled a mistake today. Tariffs relaxed, all attributed to absence of one advisor. Evil and incompetence








President Donald J. Trump's latest salvo against Harvard University clearly represents punitive extortion rather than any seriously thought through policy to promote national security. I hope and trust that the judiciary will again restrain the President in the name of lawful government




I really enjoyed speaking with Lisa Camner McKay about my research. Her piece captures the nuances of retirement saving policy and highlights why who saves more matters as much as how much we save.

publication day of our new book with augustin landier ! We make an ultra-simple point: it is not possible to think about economics separately from moral values, and it's okay. We argue that moral tradeoffs are everywhere, and they must be confronted head-on.

I am giving a short (and hopefully interactive) presentation of our new book, "The Price of our Values" with augustin landier , at the Harvard Bookstore Monday July 14, at 7pm. I can't think of a better way to celebrate Bastille day :) harvard.com/event/david-th…
