I was wandering around Eastern Market in DC today and stumbled upon two antique map vendors. I couldn’t say no to these great finds. I need a bigger house with more wall space to display everything.

I got married! Saturday was a magical day with my new husband Troy Olsen. A very heartfelt thanks to our friends Maria for officiating our wedding and Don for being our DJ. Also, thanks to all our friends and family who attended (and braved the torrential downpour of a monsoon).

Check out my latest book review at The Independent Review on “The New Trail of Tears.” I’m grateful that I had the chance to review it, and overall, I’d recommend it. The content is fascinating and important, but sometimes I disagree with the rhetoric independent.org/publications/t…

If you're a fan of Israel Kirzner and Elinor Ostrom, you should check out my new paper with Stefanie Haeffele and Agustín Forzani at Economics of Governance. static1.squarespace.com/static/5d7fd56…

Just finished a cover-to-cover read of “Bourgeois Equality” by Deirdre Nansen McCloskey. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in economic growth, human development, political philosophy, or moral philosophy. The book masterfully presents its arguments with wit and charm.

Bobbi Herzberg and I just published a new paper in Sustainability on climate change. If you're interested in the work of Elinor Ostrom, please give our paper a read. static1.squarespace.com/static/5d7fd56…

In January 2023, I made a resolution to read 15 books I hadn’t read before. I ended up reading 20 new books. Just for fun, I’ll be giving my review of each of them over the next few days.

Review 1: I’ve discovered that John Adams is my second cousin eight times removed. Reading this biography of my long-lost relative made me appreciate him as a political theorist, a revolutionary, a man of principle, and a family man.

Review 2: Ambrose paints an engaging and compelling picture of both Lewis and Clark, as well as Jefferson, Sacajawea, and other members of the Corps of Discovery. It’s a must-read for any American history buff, especially for those interested in Native Americans.
