Population bust fueled COVID-19 spread: Study
The onslaught of the coronavirus global pandemic suspended the normal working of the economy, but it proved two less-noted truths: The family affects everything, including the economy; and a rising population saves lives. A recent study found that the number of deaths caused by COVID-19 would have been lower if society “had maintained the patterns of fertility, nuptiality, marital stability, and household structure that existed in 1976.” Had population trends held steady, COVID-19 deaths would have been lower as a...
Cuba loosens restrictions on private businesses to battle COVID-19
Over the past decade, Cuba’s private sector has experienced slow-but-steady growth thanks to a mix of entrepreneurial grit and incremental policy changes.

COVID-19 has brought new challenges to the Cuban economy. Declines in travel and tourism have meant merce and less...

Why do we embrace ‘cancel culture’?
Online disagreements, and even unintended slips, can end a person’s career. One stray word is all it takes to turn a hero into a pariah. What lies behind the hair-trigger we have placed on the reflex to “cancel” others? It may be a matter of confusing two separate moral codes. Several economists, including Paul Heyne, Geoffrey Lea, and Kenneth Boulding, have made the distinction between two codes of conduct. On one hand, we have the code of “Micro” relationships between...

Since debuting in the New York Times Magazine on August 14, 2019, the 1619 Project has ignited a debate about American history, the founding of the country and the legacy emanating from the nation’s history with chattel slavery.
