Items of Interest

Various web links I found to be of interest recently.

  • Have economists gone out of fashion in Washington?

    The rise of the Yale Law School of Economics seems to say more about the political winds of our times and the declining popularity of economists and their ideas than anything. Free-market policies -- sometimes called "neoliberalism" -- are unpopular on both sides of the political aisle right now. Many blame it for widening inequality, the loss of manufacturing jobs and a host of related social ills. "I don't think a lot of economists would call themselves neoliberal, but a lot of ideas in economics do seem consistent with it," Schrager says.

  • To Sleep, Perchance Not Very Well, by Taking Melatonin

    While taking it can be timed to help overcome jet lag, melatonin is no good for chronic sleeplessness.

    "There's not enough strong evidence on the effectiveness or safety of melatonin supplementation for chronic insomnia to recommend its use," according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, a division of the U.S. National Institutes of Health. In addition, neither the American Academy of Sleep Medicine nor the American College of Physicians endorses the use of melatonin to treat insomnia.
