I meant to post an update at the end of August, but I decided to wait until I wrapped up the second edition of my Captain America book, which I finally submitted last week, and restarted the associated blog, which I did this week. (You can see the first "real" post here, and a little…

It's been a strange year so far in terms of work (both writing and school), so the true updates in this post will be few, and instead I'll focus on things coming out in the near future. My main project since the beginning of the year has been my antitrust book, but I did not…
