Four authors who think about public policy-making incisively, outside the square and in well written English.

---

Tim Worstall, Chasing Rainbows, in an entertaining deconstruction of green ideology, argues that his wife’s shepherd’s pie is an indubitable but uncounted addition to the GDP. 

Terence Kealey, Sex, Science & Profits, on his way to arguing that government support for research is not necessarily a good thing, points out that professors and practising doctors always publish findings that support their sources of money. 

Donna Laframboise, The Delinquent Teenager, dismembering the IPCC as a credible advisor on global warming, points out that scientists are only human; regrettably, therefore, they can be as short-sighted, political and dishonourable as the rest of us. 

Finally the inimitable Ian Plimer, How to Get Expelled from School, provides a counterbalance for the activist propaganda that now pervades school education about matters of climate change.
