Don't credit a strong centralized state for inventing capitalism. Credit the Dutch merchants, laborers, sailors, whalers, and brewers, all led by an invisible hand. reason.com/2023/06/17/how-th… via @reason

"This sort of economy, they show, was neither invented in 1776 nor inseparable from a strong state. It evolved, from the ground up, over centuries, and Dutch merchants were some of its most important pioneers."

Many of the issues bank regulators now face were predicted in this book!
Great chapter on deposit insurance. 😉
Was just flipping through the (quite excellent) book on financial regulation that @HesterPeirce & @BenKlutsey edited for @mercatus in 2016 and realized that there are zero index entries for ESG (or CSR or SRI). Inconceivable today, just 7 years later:

Lockdown colonialism:
"Countries like India were [under] enormous pressure... @WHO's Feb. 25, 2020 report suggested that all nations should follow the Wuhan lockdown model... regardless of socio-economic conditions."

Two lockdown facts:
1. Lockdowns happened because the laptop class thought it could isolate itself from society without facing economic harm.
