He used to be a fellow at Pepperdine's public policy program. Now he's at some little private college in Orange County. He's also a hack at the Reason Foundation "dedicated to free minds and free markets".

Kotkin's one of the crew that did a series of hatchet jobs on Mike Davis when Ecology of Fear came out. He called Davis "the poster boy for a New York left that hates Los Angeles" which is a stupider than stupid thing to say that doesn't match either the facts about Davis's background or his message .
