Markets Fail. . .And Libertarianism Still Works, 10/16

Posted: at 4:27 am

Jason Furman recently gave a talk in which he described how he teaches economics. He says that early in the course, he describes perfect competition. This is when the free market is most likely to be optimal. Then, over the course of the semester, the students learn all of the preconditions that must be assumed in order to have perfect competition. Since these preconditions are almost surely not satisfied, market failures will occur, and students learn how government intervention can produce better outcomes. (His talk began four hours into the conference, and the remarks that I am paraphrasing are at about the 4:15 mark.)

Furman comes close to making what I call the straw-man argument against libertarianism and for technocracy. That argument goes:

Libertarianism relies on markets.

Markets are optimal only under conditions of perfect competition.

The conditions for perfect competition are rarely satisfied.

There are many instances of market failure.

Therefore, libertarianism does not work.

This argument constantly emanates from economists of Harvard and MIT and their disciples. Students and journalists, who are inclined to resent markets and despise libertarians, feel vindicated when they hear this argument. They come away believing that markets are never any good, even when professors who teach this way, like Jason Furman, are less dogmatically anti-market.

What is wrong with the argument? Step (2) is a swindle. It sneaks in the assumption that markets have to be optimal in order to be preferable to government intervention.

Instead, long ago I offered the aphorism Markets fail. Use markets. That is, I readily concede that the market economy is not at some theoretical optimum. The question is what will lead to improvement. I believe that government intervention will often make things worse. Meanwhile, entrepreneurial innovation and creative destruction tends to solve economic problems, including market failures.

Suppose you see conditions in a current market (say, the market for electric cars) and think society deserves something better. To advocate government intervention is to assume that the intervention will achieve your goal.

Instead of thinking in terms of a one-time intervention relative to current conditions, libertarian economists look at markets and government intervention as processes for changing economic performance. We compare one process to another, not one set of market conditions to some theoretical outcome.

As a process, markets tend toward improvement, because business profits ultimately depend on satisfying consumers. As a process, government intervention is unreliable, for many reasons. The interests of government officials often diverge from the interests of voters. The disciplinary forces of competition and the profit-and-loss system are absent. The internal processes of bureaucracy tend to reward conformity and repression of innovation.

If market fundamentalism is the belief that markets are perfect, then I do not know anyone on the libertarian side who is a market fundamentalist. Economics professors do not have to spend a whole semester arguing against this straw man. I wish that they would spend more time discussing government fundamentalism, which is what you are guilty of when you assume that government intervention consists of wise, technocratic solutions.

At the conference where I heard Furman talk, the last speaker, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, gave an impassioned argument against government intrusion into economic decisions. He argues that intervention leads to corruption and polarization. His talk begins about the 7:40 mark. Recommended.

Elon Musk begins reinstating banned Twitter accounts, starting with …

Posted: at 4:26 am

Elon Musk has begun reinstating Twitter accounts that were previously subject to lifetime bans, taking the first steps toward his promise of lighter moderation on the platform. Announced Friday, the first affected accounts belong to author Jordan Peterson, comedian Kathy Griffin, and conservative parody outlet The Babylon Bee.

The third account, belonging to the comedian Kathy Griffin, was banned only 11 days earlier as part of Musks push against impersonation. Griffin had impersonated Musk as part of a tweet about the midterm elections. At the time, Musk said Griffin would be allowed back onto the platform if she paid the $8 fee for Twitter Blue.

Its unclear whether more reinstatements are imminent, particularly for the still-suspended former President Donald Trump, who recently launched his campaign to regain the presidency. Musk said the decision concerning Trumps ban has not yet been made.

Musk previously claimed that no major moderation decisions, including reinstatements, would be made until he assembled a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints. He did not mention the council in todays announcement.

The reinstatements come at a moment of crisis for the platform, which has seen hundreds of employees resign in the wake of an ultimatum issued by Musk earlier this week. As a result of layoffs and ongoing attrition, the platforms overall workforce has shrunk from 7,500 before the Musk acquisition to less than 3,000 ahead of Thursdays deadline.

The departures have led to significant chaos within the company. After closing the offices on Thursday, Musk sent an email to the companys software engineers saying, Anyone who actually writes software, please report to the 10th floor at 2pm today.

Olivia Wilde has revealed that Chris Pines terrifying character in her newest movie, Dont Worry Darling, is based on the controversial Canadian psychologist and author Jordan Peterson.

The Wonder Woman actor stars in Wildes forthcoming psychological thriller as Frank, the utopian desert communitys leader.

Pine features alongside Harry Styles and Florence Pugh, who lead the film as a Fifties couple whose idyllic lives are overturned when Pughs Alice uncovers her husbands dark secret when one of the neighbourhood housewives goes missing.

In a recent interview with Interview Magazine, Wilde spoke with fellow actor Maggie Gyllenhaal about the inspiration behind Franks character.

We based that character on this insane man, Jordan Peterson, who is this pseudo-intellectual hero to the incel community, Wilde said.

She further explained the incels as a community of disenfranchised, mostly white men, who believe they are entitled to sex from women.

They believe that society has now robbed them that the idea of feminism is working against nature, and that we must be put back into the correct place, Wilde added.

Canadian psychologist and self-described cultural critic Jordan Peterson

(BBC Question Time)

Peterson began receiving widespread recognition in the late 2010s for voicing his controversial opinions, many of which are anti-political correctness.

Wilde continued: This guy Jordan Peterson is someone that legitimises certain aspects of [the incels] movement because hes a former professor, hes an author, he wears a suit, so they feel like this is a real philosophy that should be taken seriously.

The Independent has contacted a representative of Peterson for comment.

Dont Worry Darling is Wildes second feature as a director, following her well-received 2019 teen comedy Booksmart.

As the films release date has neared, however, controversy surrounding the movie has arisen. Read here for a timeline of the behind-the-scenes controversies.

Dont Worry Darling releases in cinemas on 23 September.

Next Mars Orbiter – Wikipedia

Posted: at 4:14 am

Proposed NASA Mars communications satellite

The Next Mars Orbiter (NeMO, earlier known as the Mars 2022 orbiter) is a proposed NASA Mars communications satellite with high-resolution imaging payload and two solar-electric ion thrusters.[2][3]

The orbiter was initially proposed to be launched in September 2022 to link ground controllers with rovers and landers and extend mapping capabilities expected to be lost when the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and 2001 Mars Odyssey stop functioning,[2][1] but officials elected to focus on flying the Perseverance rover first to cache various samples for a later sample-return mission that will incorporate a Mars telecom orbiter, now envisioned for the late 2020s.[4]

Key features under study include solar electric ion drive engines, better solar arrays, and broadband laser communications (optic communication) between Earth and Mars.[2][3][5]

The orbiter is conceptually similar to the Mars Telecommunications Orbiter, canceled in 2005,[3] and could be a technology precursor for a future round-trip sample return mission[6] and human expeditions to Mars.[2][7] Robert Lock is leading the concept studies for the 2022 orbiter.[2][7]

Concern in NASA is that the currently used relay satellites, 2001 Mars Odyssey and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, may stop functioning, resulting in the need to press the MAVEN science orbiter into use as a backup telecommunications relay.[2][3][8] Since the highly elliptical orbit of MAVEN limits its usefulness as a relay for surface operations,[9][10] NASA will lower its orbit from 6,200 (3,900) to between 4,000 and 4,500 kilometers (2,500 and 2,800mi) altitude, where it can serve as a relay while continuing its science mission.[11]

Another suggested feature under study is "the sample rendezvous capture and return capability". The samples cached by the Mars 2020 rover would be placed in Mars orbit by a future Mars ascent vehicle. From there, the orbiter would rendezvous, transfer the samples into a capsule and send it back to Earth.[12]

The proposed orbiter would be propelled with two solar-electric ion thrusters; one engine would be active while the other one would be a spare.[1] Electrical power to the engines would be provided by advanced solar arrays that generate 20kW.[1]

An ion engine would give the spacecraft significant orbital flexibility for long-term support of future missions,[1] opportunistic flybys of Phobos and Deimos,[1] as well as the added capability of orbit supportrendezvous and capturefor a sample return mission.[1] An ion engine would also allow access to multiple latitudes and altitudes to optimize relay contacts.

The orbiter mission has been suggested by the Planetary Science Decadal Survey to be one of three missions of the proposed Mars Sample Return (MSR) campaign.[12][14] Samples would be collected and cached by the Mars 2020 mission and would be left on the surface of Mars for possible later retrieval.[14] The orbiter would be launched on a medium-class vehicle, reaching Mars in about nine months and set to aerobrake down to a 500km (310mi) circular orbit over six to nine months.[14]

The third mission of the proposed MSR campaign, the lander, would nominally be launched two years after the orbiter launch. The lander would deploy a "fetch rover" to retrieve the sample caches. A container holding the samples would be launched by a two-stage, solid-fueled Mars ascent vehicle (MAV) and placed in a 500-km orbit comparable with the new orbiter and perform a rendezvous while in Mars orbit.[14] The container would be transferred to an Earth entry vehicle (EEV) which would bring it to Earth, enter the atmosphere under a parachute and hard-land for retrieval and analyses in specially designed safe laboratories.[12][14]

Some NASA officials consider the Mars 2022 orbiter an "essential orbital support for sample return", "significant" in maintaining the Martian communications infrastructure, and desirable for the continuity in remote sensing.[15] The President's FY2017 Budget provided $10 million to begin early conceptual work on the proposed Mars orbiter.[15][16] In July 2016, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory awarded five $400,000[1] sub-contracts to conduct concept studies. The five engineering companies are Boeing, Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems, Orbital ATK, and Space Systems/Loral.[17][18]

However, in August 2017, Jim Green of NASA's Planetary Science Division stated that a 2022 launch for the orbiter was "probably off the table", as it would be too difficult to assemble an orbiter with all of the desired features in that time frame.[19] Jim Watzin of NASA's Mars Exploration Program stated in September 2017 that the orbiter may have to be cancelled, citing that "the likelihood of all of the relay orbiters failing is so low that no more investments are needed for that purpose."[20]

In February 2018, NASA announced that it was moving ahead with plans to alter the orbit of the MAVEN orbiter to have it serve as a communications relay. It will be lowered to 4,0004,500 kilometers (2,5002,800mi) altitude, where it can serve as a relay while allowing it to continue its science mission.[21] In March 2018, NASA officials decided that the aging Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) will be managed such that it will continue service for about ten more years, and the program will now focus its resources on flying a sample-return mission first.[4] The 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter will also be managed to continue operating until about 2025.[22] A new Mars relay orbiter is likely to take part in the sample-return architecture envisioned for the late 2020s.[4]
