Hi there. I’m a writer based in Iowa City, Iowa. I blog about American politics for The Economist and write The Moral Sciences Club blog for Big Think.
My work has appeared in The Atlantic, The Economist, The Daily, The Boston Review, Reason, Forbes, The Daily Beast, Slate, Prospect, and a variety of other publication online and off. I’ve been a columnist for The Week, a regular writer for The Economist‘s Free Exchange economics blog, a regular on Bloggingheads TV, and a regular commentator for American Public Media’s radio program Marketplace. I also dabble in illustration. So far, my illustration work has appeared in Defunct and The Atlantic online.
A recovering Washingtonian, I was a research fellow at the Cato Institute for five years, and before that did stints at the Mercatus Center and the Institute for Humane Studies.
I live in Iowa City, Iowa with my fiancée, Kerry Howley, who is a Provost’s Visiting Writer at the University of Iowa, and our Vizsla, Winston.

Hi Will,
I created the Exploring the Illusion of Free Will Meetup in Manhattan in April 2010, began cablecasting and streaming my weekly White Plains, New York cable TV show, Exploring the Illusion of Free Will in January 2011, for the last several months have co-hosted the in-preview Manhattan Neighborhood Network live call-in show Myth Free Will, and last month published and edited transcript of the first eighteen episodes of my show.
Check out episode 38 on my home page, and I hope we can arrange to talk.
Happiness,
George

Run for office; that is, unless you’re chicken.
Hi will,
Is there any chance you’re around the DC area over the next week or two ? I’m a fifth-year law student visiting from Canberra, doing an internship here with Congress. I’m writing a paper on political strategies, viz. that of the GOP, and was hoping to have a chat if you’re around. I spoke to an old colleague of yours, Sallie James, and she told me you’re the go to person for political analysis.
anyway, if you have any time I’d really appreciate it
thanks
josh
