I've written The Myth of the Rational Voter, named "the best political book of the year" by the New York Times, Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids, The Case Against Education, Open Borders (co-authored with SMBC's Zach Weinersmith), Build, Baby, Build (co-authored with Ady Branzei), as well as the forthcoming Unbeatable: The Brutally Honest Case for Free Markets (University of Chicago Press), and Blockade: The Science and Ethics of Trade (Cato Institute, co-authored with Don Boudreaux and Zach Weinersmith). I've also published eight books of collected essays.
I am the editor and chief writer for Bet On It. I've published in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, TIME, Newsweek, Atlantic, American Economic Review, Economic Journal, Journal of Law and Economics, and Intelligence, blogged for EconLog from 2005-2022, and appeared on ABC, BBC, Fox News, MSNBC, and C-SPAN. An openly nerdy man who loves role-playing games and graphic novels, I live in Oakton, Virginia, with my wife and four kids.
