How could they vote for him?
By now you will have probably read thousands of words about Trump’s sweeping election victory, so what can I hope to add? The biggest puzzle for me, and I suspect many others both inside and outside the US, has always been to understand Trump’s appeal to voters. After all, unlike 2016, this time they must have known what they…

A budget that points the way but doesn’t get us very far
Did Rachel Reeves set Labour on a path to ending austerity, and making up for the lack of public investment over the last fourteen years? In this post I will follow the format of my pre-budget post, splitting the discussion into three sections: public investment, current public spending and taxes. I’ve also added an extra, rather annoyed section on…

mainly macro: October Budget 7: Soaking the rich?

Taiwan Reaffirms Independence On National Day
Taiwan’s National Day address was in stark contrast to the message put forth by China for its CCP anniversary. Xi Jingping of China used his national holiday to reaffirm his commitment to reunifying Taiwan with China. Taiwan’s leadership used the day to reaffirm that China “has no right to represent Taiwan.” “The Republic of China [Taiwan’s official name] — which…

one good and one bad
On 30th October Rachel Reeves will be setting out her first budget, rather than responding to someone else’s decisions. She will be leading the public discussion, not following the narrative set by another. That will be obvious in terms of tax, because she will be raising taxes rather than pretending to permanently cut them. But it should also be…
