That's a static equation. Do a little calculus and it becomes dynamic. @BryanPCutsinger did the work for us in this piece: thedailyeconomy.org/article/are-ta…
During today’s conclusion of the Shaftesbury Fellowship, one of our fellows shared this testimony about Lord Shaftesbury by Spurgeon during her presentation. “Both man and beast may unite in mourning him: he was the friend of every living thing. He lived for the oppressed; he…
Lots of confusion comes from: 1. Ignoring how markets adjust, 2. Confusing accounting identities with causation, and 3. Treating prices as irrelevant. A recent @michaelxpettis piece showed this. My solution? Ask, can we say this in supply and demand? economicforces.xyz/p/curing-inter…

Economists, lawyers and urbanists often look to places like zoning-free Houston, the private places of St Louis, and privately developed exurban communities like Irvine. There we see rules about land use emerge between residents and via developers. A couple of years ago I wrote…
Since 2008, the UK economy has seen the most severe growth-slowdown of any advanced economy.
