    This is a very good history of the reasons CA can set tougher air regulations than the feds. Also noteworthy that the scientist who first linked smog to cars was attacked and smeared by the auto industry. The more things change ...

    But if you want to stop the process, you should be aware that thanks to our transfer union lagging regions already receive huge de facto aid, as much as 20% of GDP. Nevertheless, divergence continues 6/

    And it's not just money. Places like KY and WV had the same life expectancy as NY as recently as 1990; now they're 5 years below. Social problems are festering in lagging regions — and divergence is feeding political polarization 5/

    This is actually the third such tipping point in US history: divergence from the mid-19th to early 20th centuries, then convergence to 1980 or so, and now divergence again. This is a fundamental change in dynamics, probably associated with the knowledge economy 4/

    I offer three main arguments/insights. First, our theories of regional economic dynamics suggest that there will be occasional "tipping points" when convergence flips into divergence or vice versa. And circa 1980 we seem to have flipped into divergence 3/

    But I have been thinking about the subject a fair bit lately, and thought I would write up some of those thoughts (sorry about the roughness of this draft, but I wanted to get it out there) 2/

    Something completely different: in early October the Boston Fed is holding a conference on regional divergence, my old stamping ground. I'm not presenting research; I'm just the lunchtime entertainment 1/

    Interesting: European economists (this is the European version of the IGM panel, not the one we usually see) are unanimous that inequality threatens democracy

    The systemic question we need to ask is how the GOP sank so low, and whether America as we know it can survive when one of its two major parties doesn't believe in rule of law 4/

    Timidity is bad, but it pales compared with the outright corruption of Republicans, who are clearly OK with actions that are precisely what the founding fathers feared, and the reason impeachment is possible 3/

    Many people including me are frustrated by the timidity of the Democrats. This is a smoking gun, people. If this doesn't warrant an impeachment inquiry, nothing does. But ... 2/

    You know, if Trump really did shoot somebody on 5th Ave it would be less serious than what he has actually done (and yes, he did it — they aren't even disputing the facts). Murdering an individual isn't as important as colluding with foreigners to subvert an election 1/

    Come on, this isn't really a question. If by "constitutional system" you mean Republicans in the Senate, they will do nothing. They decided long ago that treason in the defense of GOP power is perfectly OK

    On the one hand you have a whistleblower saying Trump pressured Ukraine to interfere in the US election but on the other hand you have Trump’s lawyer saying Trump pressured Ukraine to interfere in the US election and I don’t know who to believe.

    There's a kind of sick irony to Trump's attempt to destroy any chance of dealing with climate change: it comes precisely when the economics of clean energy has become incredibly favorable
