De vraag hoe en wanneer de economie te heropenen wordt teveel beheerst door partijpolitieke belangen, en eigenlijk te weinig door economische.

John Cochrane looks at the prospects that we’ll successfully reopen the economy without setting off another round of coronavirus outbreaks, explains what’s behind the models that got the virus’s trajectory so wrong, and explains how emergency economic measures could come back to haunt us in the future.

This is a blog of news, views, and commentary, from a humorous free-market point of view. After one too many rants at the dinner table, my kids called me “the grumpy economist,” and hence this blog and its title. In real life I’m a Senior Fellow of the Hoover Institution at Stanford. I was formerly a professor at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. I’m also an adjunct scholar of the Cato Institute. I’m not really grumpy by the way!
