Publishing the Unpublishable Paper: Something to Care About

Bryan Caplan

One of Robin Hanson's greatest unpublishable papers has finally been published. "Showing That You Care: The Evolution of Health Altruism" appears in the latest issue of Medical Hypotheses. Here's Robin summarizing the paper and his decade-plus struggle to publish it.

And now, in the spirit of Robin's paper, it's time to show that I care. Three cheers for Robin!

P.S. My compliments to Medical Hypotheses editor, Bruce Charlton, for his intellectual entrepreneurship.
