thursday morning links – strange academia edition
A few links for your edification:
1. Marginal Revolution on Maynard Keynes’ nasty “personal” life.
2. Carol Gilligan (!) writes an “erotic novel.”
3. Gary Alan Fine’s haute cuisine blog.
4. An exchange with Venkatesh at Slate magazine on Venkatesh’s book on time spent studying urban gangs. Tyler Cowen negatively reviews the book, and SF Gate notes that Venkatesh admitted to wailing on a guy. With snarky comments, Desi blog Sepia Mutiny weighs in on the wailing.
Neither of the two bloggers (Evan Zimroth and Alex Tabarrok) who feature Keynes’ sex diaries seem to think they were nasty.
I can only surmise that nastiness is a sociological descriptor, not an economic one.

Alison – I’m too much of a monetarist; anything Keynes did was nasty, in principle.

I don’t understand why Keynes’ private life was “nasty” as described in the post. Is that some kind of moral judgment by the blogger on gays, or on people who record their sex lives, or on people who have lots of nonmonogamous sex? Or is it not meant to be serious?
