How benefits, once granted, become irreversible: a peculiar anecdote
November 25, 2016 5:38 AM
When politicians ‘give’ us things, it is very difficult to take them away again. Here is a little-known case in point. In 1947 Hugh Dalton, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, used the budget to raise tobacco duty very sharply, by nearly 50%. This was largely to save foreign exchange at a difficult time, and to … Continue reading "How benefits, once granted, become irreversible: a peculiar anecdote"
Integrated care in market-driven health systems: the Israeli example
November 24, 2016 6:07 AM
Opponents of competitive pluralistic healthcare systems often argue that competition leads to a fragmentation of services, and that the success of a health system depends, first and foremost, on its ability to deliver integrated care. A health system’s actors, the market-critics argue, should cooperate, not compete; they should work with each other, not against each … Continue reading "Integrated care in market-driven health systems: the Israeli example"
After Brexit, we should keep freedom of movement with the EEA, and extend it to other countries
November 23, 2016 4:14 AM
Britain has a huge problem with immigration – or so many people think. The reality of immigration is generally positive, yet public perceptions are often negative – and that leads to illiberal, deeply flawed government policy. It is telling that while few people think immigration is negative for them personally, many believe it is detrimental … Continue reading "After Brexit, we should keep freedom of movement with the EEA, and extend it to other countries"
Hammond should end the discrimination against families in the tax and benefits system
November 22, 2016 4:26 AM
Every now and again we have a radical government that changes the way things are done. Lots of governments try to give the impression of being radical by implementing swathes of new legislation. But really radical governments that change the course of history are rare. In the post-war period, we have only had the 1945 … Continue reading "Hammond should end the discrimination against families in the tax and benefits system"
Three cheers for laziness (and capitalism, for enabling it)
November 21, 2016 4:29 AM
Capitalism and the free market are indispensable. They create jobs, they make the world more exciting, they showcase humanity’s creativity, yada yada yada. But let’s think about their real benefit for a moment: they let me (you) be lazier outside of work. The reason you want any given thing is to make your life easier. … Continue reading "Three cheers for laziness (and capitalism, for enabling it)"
In defence of central bank independence
November 17, 2016 11:46 PM
At a time of increasing suspicion of, and animosity towards, experts – meaning people in public office with a great deal of formal education, usually unelected and expected (or purporting) to make decisions in a non-ideological way – it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the quintessential technocracy, the modern central bank, has come under … Continue reading "In defence of central bank independence"
There’s one international system that President Trump should withdraw from
November 17, 2016 3:53 AM
Following Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election, the European press has been presenting him as an isolationist. Under President Trump, they claim, the USA will look after itself alone and retreat from the rest of the world. Economically, international trade is finished, they allege, whilst militarily, NATO will be abandoned. It is true … Continue reading "There’s one international system that President Trump should withdraw from"
Deregulating the taxi sector: empirical evidence
November 16, 2016 4:54 AM
Economic theory suggests that derestricting and deregulating the taxi trade would produce substantial welfare gains. The empirical evidence broadly bears this out. There is a wide range of economic studies on the effects of taxi market deregulation on variables such as waiting times, fares, safety and quality. A comprehensive review of the economic literature is … Continue reading "Deregulating the taxi sector: empirical evidence"
The Trump-Hammond-Keynesian consensus is wrong: Higher infrastructure spending does not equal higher growth
November 15, 2016 3:49 AM
To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Or when it comes to the UK economy: to an economist who believed in fiscal stimulus in 2011, every period of time looks like an opportunity for more government spending. In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s victory last week, even his most vociferous left-leaning … Continue reading "The Trump-Hammond-Keynesian consensus is wrong: Higher infrastructure spending does not equal higher growth"
How crowdfunding could make public finance more democratic
November 14, 2016 4:06 AM
In 1850, the merchants, bankers and traders of the City of London held a crisis meeting. The original private contract to stage the Great Exhibition had to be scrapped. There was no public funding available. Was this extraordinary, visionary project – to share the wonders of modern arts, industry and commerce – going to have … Continue reading "How crowdfunding could make public finance more democratic"
