Oddbean new post about login | logout I went back to a famous used bookstore in the Pacific Northwest last year and it was very much the same. It was especially sad to me because years earlier I had found a copy of Bastiat's Economic Harmonies there.
Are you talking about Powell's in Portland? The staff demanded that some books could not be sold by the company a couple of years ago during the height of the DEI bullshit. The owner caved a little and removed them from the store but allowed them to be sold online. The hypocrisy of the Left is unreal at times.
No, it was in Seattle and I don't recall the name off-hand. They ironically had a "banned books" section that of course only had fashionable left-wing propagandists who aren't banned anywhere. I would have had mad respect for them if that section had like Alex Jones and the like, even though I still wouldn't have been interested.
