Ronald Reagan really did have it right about government. The banks here seem to have gone through the whole cycle in only seven years.

An example of the government's expertise at creating value added regulation.

The costs and benefits of climate change: do we really want to go back to1988?

Guido's not to blame: the fake and leaked emails have come from another source and wouldn't it be interesting to know who and why?

Today's statistical games are to do with drinking and breast cancer risks. If all women in the country ceased drinking completely there would be very little reduction in deaths.

More on the effects of immigration: what effect that there is on reducing wages seems to occur to the previous generation or wave of immigrants.

And finally, something of a blunder from the BBC.

"If all women in the country ceased drinking completely there would be very little reduction in deaths." - But there would be a marked decrease in the birth rate ;-)
