This is absolutely right but Xi also will absolutely not restructure the economy in this way

1/9 "If China is to put growth onto a more sustainable footing, it needs to empower its consumers. In particular, Beijing should allocate hefty fiscal transfers into state pension funds for both city and rural dwellers. This will cost a great deal." https://t.co/kbhKOgLpRK

This is just sloppy work. Like embarrassing levels of sloppy. I honestly expected better from them.

These two Bernanke essays are tremendous though and set the template for what I think has despite its problems been a pretty successful macroeconomic response to a terribly mishandled public health situation.

"If you’ve ever talked to a traffic engineer, you’ll realize they're not interested in reducing tens of thousands of Americans who die from traffic-related crashes." I'm with @IDoTheThinking. No more waiting. "We need to just erect barriers ourselves."

In a socialist utopia with no private housing, you'd still sometimes have a situation where the number of households wanting to live somewhere exceeds the number of existing homes and some people say "we should build more" and others say locals should be allowed to veto that.

Biofuel crops occupy 77 times more land than #SolarFarms. A hectare of solar panels delivers between 48-112 times more driving distance than vehicles driven on biofuel. Govt's existing ground solar target would've occupied only 1/2 the space currently taken up by golf courses.
