Jane Galt on the confusion over mpg requirements for cars versus higher prices for petrol. Mandated standards really don’t seem as effective as prices and the market.

Environmental Economics on petrol taxes and public choice theory. Yes, the latter means that the former will always be subject to rent seeking but will that be better or worse than other methods?

Chris Edwards with another example of public choice theory: why would a businessman support raising the minimum wage? Because it would shaft his competitors?

Mark Perry: what’s the major difference between capitalism and socialism? Capitalism works.

Wat Tyler with the first of the 18 Doughty Street/Taxpayer’s Alliance videos. Would you believe that this is another exemplar of public choice theory?

Blognor Regis with a remembrance of a politician we could and did admire.

And finally, Christopher White tries to get a straight answer from the NUS and finds that less politics and more education might be useful.
