This is a fine tribute to a great thinker. Although as a student at U.Va. law school I heard a lot more about the Coase Theorem than I cared for at the time, I'm pleased to have had the privilege to learn from people under the unfluence of so fine a scholar.

Ronald Coase and Comparative Institutional Analysis
|Peter Boettke| Ronald Coase passed away yesterday at the age of 102. Coase was a productive (and feisty, though always gentlemanly) scholar to the end. In 2012, he published How China Became Capitalist and did a podcast with Russ Roberts for EconTalk on his life, career, and the new book. A...
Great song! That's what we call Carolina Beach Music here.

New Music: The Impressions-Rhythm
Now this makes me happy!! A new song from the Impressions, produced by the fabulously named Binky Griptite (Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings). It's definitely retro, it sounds as though it could have come out in the 60s, but it's new and I like it.
I love this quote. Thanks for sharing it.

Growing Into The Truth We Speak
“…Can we only speak when we are fully living what we are saying? If all our words had to cover all our actions, we would be doomed to permanent silence! Sometimes we are called to proclaim God's love even when we are not yet fully able to live it. Does that mean we are hypocrites? Only whe...
This is wonderful. So glad you posted it. The photo of Mr. Berry plowing is priceless.

Mary Berry writes about Wendell Berry
My father’s name is Wendell Berry and I have been crazy about him for 54 years now. Wendell is married to my mother, Tanya. It is nearly impossible for me to think of one without the other. It is hard to imagine now that until coming back to live permanently in Henry County in 1964 we had lived ...
Interesting piece. Thanks for sharing it. I love this line from Mr. Berry: "Alone here, among the rocks and the trees, I see that I am alone also among the stars."

An essay on "The Weird Localism of Ralph Eugene Meatyard and Wendell Berry"
This essay examines the work of Wendell Berry (academic, poet, and farmer, who is well known for his focus on the local) and the ucanny photography of Ralph Eugene Meatyard. This essay argues that rather than simply a rehashing of the well-worn familar, or an encounter with alterity, both Berry'...
Thanks for sharing this!
Mr. Berry was spot on in identifying the fraudulence of our economic illusions and our need to imagine a better economy years ago. In 1972 he wrote an amazing essay titled "Discipline and Hope" which I highly recommend.

Wendell Berry - How I Would Fix the Economy
I'm reading through Wendell Berry's latest book, What Matters Most: Economics for a Renewed Commonwealth, and I find his commentary on our current economic woes as insightful as any I've read. He laments that the economy has become disconnected from the land and is so out of whack that it's ha...
