Mr. Menton is “carving out a niche as the guy who does a few simple calculations to check if the grand schemes of our central planners make any sense.”

“Combating elite Manhattan political ideologies on climate change, the purpose of government, New York state news, and the basic principles of economics.” Mr. Menton writes on difficult subjects with clarity, purpose, inventiveness, logic and a reasonable dose of accessible mathematics. He is a genuine Renaissance man, cf. his most recent posts, “In China Things Head South Quickly” and “The Coming Future Of Electric Vehicles: Something Here Does Not Add Up”.
