Basic Logic

My first day of Economics 101, Professor Ratliff (a really great teacher) defined economics as the study of how we allocate scarce resources among unlimited wants. Betsy Newmark, who has the benefit of being wife of an econ prof and mother to an econ major, has a post on Bjorn Lomborg. Lomborg, author of the Skeptical Environmentalist keeps trying to get the left to use rationality and logic to make decisions. No such luck.
