He writes a lot on education and on child safety. You will like it! I read it pretty much in one sitting at the cottage this summer (got it from my public library). His blog is good too.
My husband actually had to read it as required text for an "Environmental Economics" course in his grad program, believe it or not. He shared a lot of it with me, and I plan to read the whole thing for myself soon. It's definitely fun, though he makes a lot of facile connections too-- you'll do well with it because you can see it critically.
Yeah, Piet and i were discussing the idea of abortion leading to lower crime rates two decades later. He pointed out that the crime rates in the seventies were the highest they had ever been, so connecting a drop back down to previous levels, to the loss of many unwanted children, is not necessarily a good connection. It also doesn't fit with some of the key facts about abortion: 61% of women who get one are married, for example. Anyhow - I'm borrowing it from thebitterguy tonight when he comes to game, so I'll likely have some things to say about it sometime tomorrow.
