Incredible chart from Nutrien 2023 report – the world’s largest provider of crop inputs and services. Notice the differential between natural gas prices (grey bars) and the fertilizer prices in 2021 and 2022. More evidence here of @IsabellaMWeber's "seller's inflation" thesis.
Wow. Writing the financialization chapter for my forthcoming @MaxBellSchool book and learned that Canada had 134 new IPO listings on the TSX last year. Sounds great, until you realize that 114 (84% of them) were ETFs! The chapter writes itself... tsx.com/resource/en/31…

@denisehearn_, the path to IPO is a regulatory barrier to innovators. As a result, they choose exit by selling to a multinational. Our scale-ups (those with proven mgmt, tech, mkts & growth plans) get 75% of their investment outside of 🇨🇦 which starts the migration process.

Recent events make private property's dependence on the full coercive power of government rather hard to deny
1. Today is ILSR's 50th anniversary! It was founded by 3 friends working in the Adams-Morgan neighborhood of DC in 1974. They had a vision of a decentralized economy in which communities had the power to determine their own future.

Notable—unlike other schools, Wesleyan Uni says it will not clear an encampment so long as it remains non-violent: "This morning you can find pro-Palestinian protestors camped out…as long as we all reject violence, we have opportunities to listen and to learn from one another."

The Government of Canada’s recent review of the Competition Act has sparked a closer examination of how competition is protected and promoted in Canada. In their paper, @VassB and @KeldonB look at why better competition law is needed. Read more: cigionline.org/publications/c…
another instance of WSJ editorial writers not reading the statute. There's a viable fact issue about whether this merger will suppress wages, but absolutely no issue about legal coverage.
The editorial board interprets antitrust’s consumer welfare standard to exclude harm to workers. No seriously. Someone should let them know of the DOJ’s successful challenge to the book publisher merger, based solely on a harm to authors. Or in re High Tech Employees Antitrust.
Some personal news. I'm thrilled to join @econliberties and get the opportunity to contribute to their very important work. Bonus: I got a mention in @playbookdc for something other than my birthday.
Another fantastic addition to @econliberties as we welcome @helaineolen! We’ve been admirers of Helaine’s reporting for years and are excited to have her join us in the fight against monopolies.
“Each chapter of Frerick’s book is based on a tremendous amount of research, as well as anecdotal scenes of the author’s personal contacts with US agriculture. His prose is refreshingly accessible and nonacademic.” - @devintoshea lareviewofbooks.org/article/muckra…
Really important point. All stakeholders--certainly including big businesses!--agree that civil antitrust litigation is extremely costly and time-consuming. Yet when it comes to antitrust rules (admin or legislative), suddenly broad-ranging antitrust litigation is optimal.
@TheEconomist I’ve seen some args on this hellsite that non-competes are best addressed via antitrust litigation. Let me say as someone with experience, I was involved in litigation that lasted ten years to resolve a non-compete. Great for the defense lawyers and expert witnesses!
