When Winston Churchill popularized the phrase “special relationship” to describe the strong bond between the United States and the United Kingdom, I wonder if he could have predicted the new action-comedy Heads of State. This cultural curiosity, available to stream on Prime Video, represents the transferal to an ally of a uniquely American fixation: the leader that not only leads but also kicks ass.

The U.S. immigration system has changed in many ways under President Donald Trump, but a more lenient pathway to legal permanent residency described in viral TikToks posts is not among them.

Despite Ronald Coase’s many contributions to economics, he is most famous for the co-called Coase Theorem, which is just one small part of his paper The Problem of Social Cost.  Simply put, in a world of sufficiently low transaction costs, property rights, institutions, and the law don’t matter.  If rights are assigned randomly, the result will always tend toward an efficient outcome: deterrence of a problem will fall upon whoever is the low-cost avoider.  When transaction costs are high, however, then the assignment of rights absolutely does matter. Conflicts arise because of the interaction between two (or more) parties and…
