"It's a bit late now. @Harvard could have established its own @HooverInst many years ago. There were discussions and willing donors. But my understanding is that the idea was brushed aside. Such an institution created today under duress would have no credibility whatsoever"

""These are astonishing feats. And they have ramifications that go far beyond South America. Free-market economics and political libertarianism are sometimes dismissed as a fad of the 'neoliberal' 1980s long ago superseded by the new populisms of the left and the right. Not so. The world has never seen a government more radically libertarian than @JMilei. But the amazing thing is not that it is working economically. The true miracle is that Mileis shock therapy is working politically." 3/5"

"Time for another summer holiday reading recommendation: @holland_tom's splendid new edition of Suetonius's "Lives of the Caesars." His introduction is wonderfully well done"

""@JMilei has brought monthly inflation down from XX% to 2%. The economy is now growing at an annual rate of 7%. Investors no longer shun Argentine bonds and stocksindeed they were among the best investments you could have made over the past two years. After a brief upward jump the poverty rate has fallen from XX% when Milei was elected to 31%" 2/5"

"If you're in (pre-socialist) New York City take a look at the superb "Sargent in Paris" exhibition at the @metmuseum. So much that is fresh and arresting particularly this wonderful view of a stormy Atlantic crossing from the stern:"

"We had a little debate on the difficulty of a vice president winning the presidency. XX of XX vice presidents attempted a presidential run of whom only X were successful: Adams Jefferson van Buren Nixon H.W. Bush and Biden. (This excludes the four who became president because of a vacancy and then sought re-election: T. Roosevelt Coolidge Truman and Johnson.) Nixon and Biden were not vice presidents when they won the top job. So Bush the Elder has to be @JDVance's role model in 2028"

""This will not stand. This will not stand this aggression against Kuwait."--George H.W. Bush on August X 1990. Full quote from Jon Meacham's biography. Future history students will be asked why this stopped being the reaction of a Republican president to the invasion of a sovereign state by a dictator"
