Happy New Year! Here are some links I hope you will find interesting.

I’m no animal-rights person–not by a long shot–but the economist in me appreciates this article on vegetarian meals because it forces the reader to take full account of the consequences of choices–even the hidden consequences. It’s Bastiat’s "Seen and Unseen."
