I'm putting together readings for a Social Security seminar. Including Feldstein on privatization and a Diamond-Orszag reply. With all due respect to Marty, I am almost inclined to ask: Would you buy a used car from this man?

I'm greatly saddened by the death of Stephen Utz last month. A close friend of mine from the early 1980s when we were both at Caplin & Drysdale. He then went to teach at U Conn Law School, I entered academia a few years later. We weren't regularly in touch but the bond remained.

On Thursday, November 20, at 4:30 pm in NYU Law School, there will be a book discussion regarding my memoir, "Now is Now and Then Is Then." Perhaps more pertinently for some, the session will be recorded and subsequently viewable.

Here is a recent blogpost reproducing my remarks at a conference honoring Alan Auerbach upon his retirement. danshaviro.blogspot.com/2025… It goes without saying that Alan will be enormously missed, both for his very many contributions and for his delightful personal presence.
