More over-regulation. Here’s an idea: why don’t we trust businesses to figure out what their customers and employees want?

Imperial Measurement: A Rejoinder to @aljhlester iea.org.uk/imperial-measu…
On the one hand, UK politicians seem increasingly worried the DMCC and CMA may harm the UK's competitiveness in AI industries. These fears are legitimate. As Macron recognized, (over)regulation can hamper a jurisdiction's competitiveness in AI. So the UK could lose its edge...
"The report says new post-Grenfell building rules requiring two staircases on tall blocks is excessive. I don’t know if that’s so, but I can guess what most voters might think." Polly Toynbee believes that no regulation imposes costs or is unpopular. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
“There are some nuclear safety measures that cost between one million and several billion pounds per life saved. By pushing up the cost of building and running nuclear power stations, the regulations mean that we end up using much more dangerous forms of energy generation like…

The government is right to be focused on getting people off welfare dependency and into work, but we shouldn’t be too optimistic about its chances of success. My latest column for @CityAM: cityam.com/lets-be-honest…
GDPR caused 26% less data storage & 15% less computation by EU firms vs US 2yrs post-implementation, reducing data intensity. Software & smaller firms are hit harder than other industries, and data storage costs rose on average by 20%. nber.org/papers/w32146
Kemi Badenoch has generated controversy by disputing the idea that the UK's success is rooted in colonialism. 📉 On the IEA Podcast, @K_Niemietz explains that liberal anti-colonialists like Adam Smith have shown that imperialism is not just immoral, it's economically damaging 👇
🚨 Empire and slavery did not make Britain rich, finds new IEA book 🚨 ✍️ @K_Niemietz explains that colonialism and the slave trade were, at best, minor factors in Britain’s prosperity and may have been net lossmakers. iea.org.uk/media/empire-a… 🧵
"This month the opposition highlighted a decree, bearing Mr Milei’s signature, that among other things gave him a 48% pay rise... "He said the pay rise was the result of a past president’s decree, rapidly reversed it and fired his labour secretary." economist.com/the-americas/2…
Rent control is a utterly disgraceful policy: ❗️up to 35 year waiting periods for homes, like Stockholm ❗️less return ➡️ less house building ➡️ fewer places to live ❗️ becomes about ‘who you know’ ➕ bribes and patronage ➡️ poor, immigrants & minorities lose out

🗣️ "They're promising...to get rid of bureaucracy but what they're actually doing is creating massive new bureaucracies!" 📺 @matthewlesh highlights some of the apparent contradictions in Labour's plan to renationalise the railways with @CarverEmily and @tomhfh on @GBNEWS 👇
I think it's a tough call to claim privatisation didn't boost ridership. Sure, it increased costs and it might have increased fragmentation in certain areas too, but I'm dead sure it boosted passenger numbers. Here's why 👇🧵

The nationalisation of that airport (and industrial policy generally) is increasingly fashionable on the right. After all the pork barrel subsidies, two major investments from the previous owners paying off, and the closure of Robin Hood Airport, the results so far aren’t great.

@matthewlesh Worth stressing. The railways are already nationalised and have been since 2001, and the majority of delays are down to that nationalised part of the rail system.
Why is it remotely controversial to say some small music venues are run poorly and others are run well? Seems a perfectly reasonable point to make re: taking money from big venues to give to small ones. How is it divided? Who qualifies? & shouldn’t bad venues be allowed to fail?
