Britain Is Pricing Its Factories Into Oblivion

Britain Is Pricing Its Factories Into Oblivion Authored by Ted Newson via CapX, At its peak, Britain was known as the workshop of the world. Sheffield produced high-quality steel, Manchester still had a strong textiles sector and the West Midlands was world-renowned for its cars. Glasgow, Sunderland and Newcastle were shipbuilding hubs, Stoke-on-Trent produced ceramics.

Artificial Intelligence, Real Misallocation
Artificial Intelligence, Real Misallocation Authored by Peter C. Earle, Ph.D, Artificial intelligence may well be the most important technological development of the coming decade-and that is exactly why the current capital surge around it warrants skepticism. History is littered with transformative innovations that were nonetheless disastrously overbuilt and mispriced in their early phases. Austrian Business Cycle Theory was never a children’s story in which every boom ends with clowns, ashes, and worthless machinery; its real claim is subtler and nastier.
