Federal appellate judge Richard A. Posner, who is, in my humble opinion, our nation's greatest public intellectual, is 70 years old today. Happy birthday, Judge Posner! Judge Posner publishes books as often as most professors publish articles, and he does it on the side. Here is his latest book, which I own but have not yet read (although I have read the long article from which it sprang). (Judge Posner writes books faster than I can read them.)
Happy Birthday
