Plus: How to redraw cities with tangled property rights, the secret history of inflation targeting, and the end of lead pollution in the developing world
Why does the graph of New Zealand inflation apparently resemble one that would chart a barrel of Crude? After all, New Zealand has so manu independent sources of energy. Just a coincidence I guess.
It's a pity that you skipped so blithely over the history of inflation targeting without overtly noting the negative consequences of how arbitrarily it was chosen, without any consideration of other crucial issues such as economic growth and employment. Inflation is important, but that concern must be balanced against other important concerns.
I particularly enjoyed “The bad science behind expensive nuclear”. However, the author should credit Dr Edward J Calabrese for his research into the corrupt history of LNT. Also, it might be worthwhile to point out that LNT is used by the EPA to unreasonably limit exposure to pollutants and toxins. More research into hormesis is needed. Do we know of any chemical or particle that exhibits a LNT dose response curve? Maybe heavy metals.
