Economics

Growth is the antidote to stagnation – but it requires knowledge and leadership

30th January 2023 Emile Woolf 1

By now even Treasury officials and central banks recognise that their practice of Quantitative Easing has run its course. In its contemporary form, QE began a dozen years ago as a temporary emergency measure enacted [more…]

Authoritarianism

Civil Freedom and its Contemporary Enemies

2nd January 2023 Emile Woolf 0

One of the greatest literary works of the age, James Joyce’s “Ulysses”, reveals its author’s surprising, yet profound, understanding of some of the most basic issues in economics. In the early days of the 20th [more…]

Economic Consequences of Demented Leadership

12th December 2022 Emile Woolf 0

The woes we face are not theoretical. They are real, and worsen by the day. Very few members of the public really understand their causes, still less what can be done to reverse the decline. [more…]

Conservatives

Is this government Conservative? Socialist? Actions, not words, count!

Economics

Crisis After Crisis – The Economic Chain Reaction

17th October 2022 Emile Woolf 0

Several readers expressed surprise that last week’s essay concerned my personal NHS experiences rather than the pressing  issues of the day. In such a rapidly changing economic picture no commentary can ever be bang-up-to-date, while [more…]

Economics

Reflections on The National Health Service – based on personal experience

3rd October 2022 Emile Woolf 0

Some seven years ago, after experiencing the dizzying effects of a very low pulse rate, I was given a pacemaker and, as an anti-clotting precaution, a blood-thinning medicine, which I was taking for several years [more…]

Business

Inescapable Consequences if Folly in High Places

5th September 2022 Emile Woolf 0

Like the Covid pandemic, the war between Ukraine and Russia was not foreseeable. However, despite conventional thinking,  the current cost-of-living crisis has causal strands other than the war and the pandemic. These strands lie chiefly [more…]
