Business

The delusion of job creation

5th March 2025 Emile Woolf 2523 Comments

I have been diverted from writing further essays in the Economic Perspectives series as I am assembling the existing essays in a book designed to demystify the science of economics. But occasionally the temptation to [more…]

Business

Facing Economic Reality – and its retribution

9th December 2024 Emile Woolf 2524 Comments

The Department for Work & Pensions has recntly disclosed that six million adults were on out-of-work benefits just before Britain’s July election – the highest in 30 years. The recent tax rises that, both directly [more…]

Business

Just think, we voted for this lot

28th November 2024 Emile Woolf 2865 Comments

Each of the sections in this essay warrants a whole chapter, but this abbreviated format should capture the essential features that prevail throughout the West today. The immigration question 1 – One of the key [more…]

Communism

Where will the money come from?

23rd September 2024 Emile Woolf 2306 Comments

There’s an old Jewish joke about the elderly family patriarch whose grief-stricken family is tearfully assembled around his deathbed to pay their last respects . “Is Taubele there?” he mutters; “Yes, Papa, I’m here” comes [more…]

Economics

Let’s stop kidding ourselves

22nd April 2024 Emile Woolf 2637 Comments

Business

There’s no mystique about growth? – But step-one is to restore sanity

25th March 2024 Emile Woolf 2378 Comments

Over the years, my essays have charted the government’s descent from an ignorance of economic principles, all the way to sheer insanity. And there can be no reprieve while the public mind festers in the [more…]

Economics

Economic Illiteracy and Dogma: this Budget encapsulates it perfectly

11th March 2024 Emile Woolf 2851 Comments

As usual, the meaningless minutiae of tax-fiddling in last week’s budget stole the headlines and obscured what’s really going on. It would help if the linguistics were clearer: a tax “cut” should simply refer to [more…]

Communism

Why dramatic change is overdue

26th February 2024 Emile Woolf 2830 Comments

In a totalitarian regime with a single ruling party, people know that all the churned-out propaganda is a pack of manufactured lies – and, what’s more, the leaders know that the people know! Everyone knows [more…]

Conservatives

A pathetic array of muddled and utterly unprincipled tax policies

19th February 2024 Emile Woolf 2527 Comments

The chief role of government is to enact laws that  protect the lives and civil freedoms of its citizens. Any “add-ons” warrant the most careful scrutiny before being admitted to the nation’s laws. However, even [more…]
