<p>A spot of good news for Britain. Next has won its appeal and may go on paying warehouse workers more than &#8220;equal value&#8221; retail workers. I&#8217;ve written about this case in Equality Act 2010, The Equal Pay Madness Just Got Madder and The Apples and Oranges Tribunal, and discussed it at length on the CapX [&#8230;]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2026/09/next-wins-appeal.html">Next Wins Appeal</a> appeared first on <a href="https://marginalrevolution.com">Marginal REVOLUTION</a>.</p>

Reading sentences to ponder

<p>In 2015, 6 of the top 25 bestselling hardcover books—this is a not-perfect but useful proxy for new books published—were fiction. In 2025, 18 of the top 25 hardcover books were fiction, meaning only 7 were nonfiction, almost an exact inversion of ten years ago. From Sean Delone, via David Wallace-Wells.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2026/09/sentences-to-ponder-141.html">Reading sentences to ponder</a> appeared first on <a href="https://marginalrevolution.com">Marginal REVOLUTION</a>.</p>

Reasons to go to college

<p>That is the topic of my latest Free Press column, here is one excerpt: &#8230;college is a great place to make friends, date, and possibly meet a spouse. Those features are ever more important as America suffers a crisis of loneliness. Furthermore, if you think that artificial intelligence may displace a lot of jobs, or [&#8230;]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2026/09/reasons-to-go-to-college.html">Reasons to go to college</a> appeared first on <a href="https://marginalrevolution.com">Marginal REVOLUTION</a>.</p>

Some Navier-Stokes updates

<p>Some Terry Tao. More Terry Tao. Some ChatGPT. Some are calling this &#8220;a Deep Blue moment&#8221; for AI. All via T., a mathematician. Update from OpenAI: &#8220;Our internal model group arrived at the Navier–Stokes solution in 88 hours, using around 10,000 coordinating AI agents.&#8221;  And this.  And from Noam Brown: &#8220;Yes, this result cost millions [&#8230;]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2026/09/some-navier-stokes-updates.html">Some Navier-Stokes updates</a> appeared first on <a href="https://marginalrevolution.com">Marginal REVOLUTION</a>.</p>

No Doing, No Learning

<p>A regulation that raises gasoline prices makes people angry but when regulation prevents an industry from ever existing, most people never learn what they lost. Consider nuclear power. Overnight construction costs for early U.S. demonstration reactors fell 81 percent between 1954 and 1968. For reactors begun between 1967 and 1972, costs rose 187 percent.

Will new transportation technologies increase urban density?

<p>Will 21st century transportation innovations work against urban density, as the car did in the 20th century, or promote urban centralization, as the railroad did in the 19th century? Reducing the cost of commuting always reduces urban centralization in the classic Alonso-Muth-Mills model but that result reverses if the number of trips is endogenous and [&#8230;]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2026/09/will-new-transportation-technologies-increase-urban-density.html">Will new transportation technologies increase urban density?</a> appeared first on <a href="https://marginalrevolution.com">Marginal REVOLUTION</a>.</p>
