If you don't post it someone else will

I was planning to do a post on these comments by Edward Glaeser, but I decided to put it off because:

a) Joseph told me he was reading the book and could give me a better assessment of how the ideas held up;

b) I'd recently criticized Glaeser at some length;

c) I had about a dozen other posts I wanted to do.

One of the comments that annoyed me was Glaeser's comparison of public schools and restaurants, now Dominik Lukeš has spent two thousand plus words taking the analogy apart stone by stone and salting the ground. If you're in the mood for a good dismantling and salting you should definitely follow the link.
