We have seen much about Bob Lucas' macro contributions these days, but he also had a highly influential contribution to the theory of the firm: the "assigment theory of the firm", which explains, for instance, why Musk earns so much (and controls so many resources).

2022 was the year I left politics and returned to academia.
It was also the year with many economists, I engaged in an effort to persuade the EU we could live without Russian Gas.
The EU took too long, but finally did it. Mass poverty did not follow.

President von der Leyen, a gas ban is possible. We aren't even trying. If Europe does not stop funding Putin, history will not see us as bystanders. History will know we were complicit.
My speech in the European Parliament 👇
AWFUL news.
While the US Congress plays politics with Ukranian lives, the Ukrainian army is at high risk of getting encircled in Avdiivka. Are there any adults left in the US House?

RT by @lugaricano: NVIDIA released Chat with RTX. Why is it significant? It's NVIDIA's first step towards the vision of "LLM as Operating System" - a locally running, heavily optimized AI assistant that deeply integrates with your file systems, features retrieval as the first-class citizen, preserves privacy, and leverages your desktop gaming GPUs to the full.
A web-hosted version will have a hard time matching the same functionality. NVIDIA is going local even before OpenAI.

This seems potentially huge. NVIDIA has released an LLM that works inside your PC with your local data.

RT by @lugaricano: We are not being asked to send American troops into war, only to help the Ukrainians defend themselves. If we fail to help Ukraine, Putin will invade a NATO nation. Ukraine is not the end, it is a step—and letting Putin have his way with Europe would jeopardize our security.
