Highlights of the Starmer Government in Action Trump Hits the UK With a Censorship Tax Keir Starmer’s keenly honed political skills seem to have let him down again. This time it was over tariffs. It was Sir Keir’s job to persuade Trump not to put tariffs on the UK, because they might just be the final straw for the economy. This was going to be a hard sell because Trump plainly doesn’t like Starmer after he’d sent 100 of his party activists over to campaign for Kamala and had all but called Trump a Fascist on numerous occasions. And Trump…

Kenneth J. Arrow at Stanford University. Credit: LA Cicero, 11/4/1996. As a health reform discussion lengthens, the probability that someone will cite Kenneth Arrow approaches 1. Close behind is the probability that this person will cite Arrow inaccurately. Arrow showed that health care markets fail, goes the ritual invocation of the Nobel Prize-winning economist’s 1963 article “Uncertainty and the Welfare Economics of Medical Care.” Therefore, government should do X.

This was the culminating experience after a semester of comparing socialist and capitalist economic systems…
The year was 1965. I was a college sophomore. My family was middle class—not wealthy, watching the budget—and yet, health care was not a problem. In fact, I never heard my parents discuss it. We had our family physician, and if we needed a specialist, we saw one. Holden Hospital was clean, efficient, and—if needed—willing to treat those who could not pay.

It was a tapestry of private practices, community hospitals, medical schools with teaching/research hospitals, and foundations and…

Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson have a new book entitled Abundance. This is part of the explanation on Amazon: Rich explains that our problem today is not the result of the bad guys in Yesteryar. Rather, solutions for one generation have become a problem with the next generation. Rules and regulations designed to solve problems in the 1970s often prevent urban density and green Ergie projects that help solve problems in the 2020s. A law that makes the government recall that the recall of its actions take it into consideration? Over the past decades, the ability to see the…
