and finding the idiocies of the academic left to be a bit too twee to simply laugh off:

There was also trying to understand the oil market and the oil industry, trying to understand those who claimed the world economy had "excess liquidity" even though inflation was not accelerating, and trying unsuccessfully to maintain a complete separation between "understanding" and "excusing":

The thoughtful piece of the month was grappling with the arguments that there was such a thing as "global excess liquidity" even though inflation was not accelerating:
