In this @Reuters' analysis of the implications for the UK financial sector of @realDonaldTrump's stated desire to deregulate #WallStreet, I argue that if British and EU banks don't get much more competitive, they'll continue falling behind US #capitalmarkets

Today @ManhattanInst released my and @readeben1's on the rapid change in Federal Reserve Bank directors. As we show, ideologically they've changed in the 10 years. From 24% donating to right-leaning groups to 8%. Now 34% donate to left-leaning groups. There's lots more changes...

Those advising the incoming #Trump administration - or, for that matter, the outgoing #Biden administration - on #tradepolicy should read this @NRO @NRCapMatters article by @DominicJPino:

Economic theory of tariffs predicts concentrated benefits and dispersed costs. Pointing to the concentrated benefits and claiming economics didn’t predict them is nonsensical. Ignoring or downplaying the dispersed costs is malpractice. New from me @NRO nationalreview.com/corner/the-exi…



Plenty of American🇺🇸 industries really, really dislike #tariffs because tariffs HURT them, their 🇺🇸employees, and 330 million 🇺🇸 consumers. I hope that at least some of the new #Trump administration’s economic team and some members of the #Senate and #House understand that.

Also useful for the tariffs/tax discussion, as tariffs - even at high/painful rates - probably couldn't cover a single one of five these spending categories (which of course nobody can/wants to touch).

As folks start to talk about government efficiency and reform, here's a reminder of some simple budget math: the five largest categories of federal spending consume all current tax revenue

The three-month annualized core CPI reading as of today's release is 3.6 percent; that's the fastest rate of increase since Apr 2024. Shelter prices remain sticky. And as for tariff banter being a mere "negotiating" tactic, in fact some firms are already nudging their prices up.

Colleen Shogan, the archivist of the U.S., delivered a statement in federal court yesterday at the sentencing of the vandals who poured paint on the Constitution and Declaration in February. It's a must-read. Check it out here @NRO: nationalreview.com/corner/read-th…

Precisely. Thinking that you can encourage people to have more children by fiddling with tax policy (which has failed everywhere it has been tried) or outsourcing what are essentially cultural challenges to the administrative state and regulators as part of a “whole of government…

The lesson for those interested in higher (or lower) birth rates? Value formation: education and the family. Of course the anti-natalists have known this forever. Pro-natalists have to do better than trying to game tax policy and housing regulations. They have to figure out how…



Reducing the size of the federal government and budget is a good and long overdue thing. But - and there is no getting around this - any meaningful change means taking an ax to entitlement spending which is now the majority of federal government spending. This, however, is…
