In the House of Lords today, a government minister refused to rule this out.
To be clear, this would amount to legalising theft. It would fly in the face of public opinion on what is fair, and would mean a surrender of British creatives' work by this Labour government.

To put it another way, this means that rather than allowing European policymakers to decide what is in Europe's best interest, Europe should allow foreign policymakers to decide, as I explain below.

Kuva huijausviesti
Varoitus! ⚠️ Tilastokeskuksen nimissä on lähetetty viime päivinä huijausviestejä yritysvastaajille. Viestin otsikkona on "Tietopyyntö tilastollista analyysiä varten". Viestiin ei tule vastata, eikä sen linkkejä klikata. Tilastokeskuksesta tulevat viestit tunnistaa lähettäjän stat.fi-osoitteesta.
Aikamoinen lista tärkeitä tilastoja lakkautusuhan alla Tilastokeskuksen määrärahojen leikkausten vuoksi. Muun muassa väestöennuste, asuntojen vuokrat, teollisuuden uudet tilaukset ja työtaistelutilasto ja moni muu.
Ei ole löysää, mistä leikata, vaan tärkeää tietoa katoaa.

This morning on @cnbc.com, B of A said the “K-shaped” economy is increasingly about not just the split between high and low-income — but high and MIDDLE-income consumers.

And as Marriner Eccles, FDR's Fed chairman, explained in the 1930s, this creates a dangerous illusion. The extent of business profits depends almost wholly on the purchasing power of ordinary people, which in turn depends on wages.

Image shows the impact of import tariffs on high-tech goods imposed by the home country. Top left shows Home GDP, income decomposition; top right shows Foreign GDP, income decomposition; bottom left shows Home GDP, expenditure decomposition; bottom right shows foreign GDP, expenditure decomposition. The Trump administration’s sweeping tariff measures are intended to increase the competitiveness of US firms – especially in high-tech sectors – and reduce US trade deficits. This column discusses the impact of trade policies on innovation and technological hegemony. The analysis suggests that large and persistent changes in tariffs are likely to affect firms’ innovation decisions and the pattern of technological hegemony. However, countries should be wary of using trade policies to boost innovation by their domestic high-tech firms, since the strategy may easily backfire.

"Russia is an undefeatable juggernaut against which Ukraine could never hope to score victories. That's why it's imperative we limit Ukraine's military size so as to give Russia confidence Ukraine won't attack it."

Are public debts in the European Union sustainable? This recent article is a great introduction to this topic, I learned a lot by reading it.
One thing that struck me is that debt sustainability analyses typically abstract from the impact of fiscal policy on productivity growth.
Accidental renaissance?
Well, thank you on behalf of Italy then

Graph of the heterogeneity of earnings volatility for salaried and hourly workers measured as a change from the previous month. Over the past decade, cities and states in the US have enacted ‘fair workweek’ laws to stabilise worker schedules. This column uses administrative data on US workers’ paycheques and firms’ payrolls to document considerable monthly fluctuations in earnings. Pay instability is widespread, disproportionately hits lower‑paid hourly workers, and is largely driven by firms’ labour demand rather than worker-related determinants such as childcare demands. These fluctuations represent genuine, welfare-relevant risk that materially shapes household decisions and has attendant effects on the economy.

Some thoughts on the interactions between public debt, public investments and productivity growth in the euro area. Key risk is that the union ends up being split between a fiscally sound/high growth block and a fiscally stagnant one.
