What I’m Reading — January 3rd

  • What Made American Universities Great. “Ivy League institutions rose to greatness only after being cut off from state aid and meddling.”
  • What’s the Matter With California? William Vogeli explains how the “big-spending, high-taxing, lousy-services paradigm” is ruining California’s appeal.
  • Dave Barry Looks Back on 2009. Choice quote: “Washington, rejecting ‘business as usual,’ finally stopped trying to solve every problem by throwing billions of taxpayer dollars at it and instead started trying to solve every problem by throwing trillions of taxpayer dollars at it.”
