"'popular economist’ is a contradiction in terms. Economics has never been – and perhaps never can be – popular because it is the study of what people actually do rather than what they profess to do or recommend that others do.

And for the most part, this liberation did not stop when we were sentenced to prison."

In my latest National Post column I say the Trinity Western law school ruling shows that we no longer think it's strange to enforce conformity in the name of diversity.
