The Economist: Jeremy Hunt wants to improve Britain’s public-sector productivity
Jeremy Hunt, the chancellor, aims to improve Britain's public sector productivity, which has been weak for over a decade. One reason for this is the labor-intensive nature of the state's activities. Hunt sees improving productivity as a way to address the weak public finances and dissatisfaction with public services. While technology and hybrid working could help, it is a slow and costly process. Cutbacks in the public sector have led to increased administrative burdens, but the government hopes that better technology and home-working can make a difference. However, easy fixes are unlikely, and the task of improving public service productivity is challenging.

National Review: That Thanksgiving Exit
Thanksgiving brings to mind the ideas of Albert Hirschman and Ilya Somin, who explore the concepts of "voice," "exit," and "loyalty" in relation to political expression and decision-making. While the ballot box is often seen as the essence of political freedom, Somin argues that geographical or jurisdictional "foot voting" is a legitimate and valuable form of expression. By embracing the idea of "exit" as a respectable choice, individuals can signal their dissatisfaction with policies and institutions and seek better alternatives. This Thanksgiving, let's remember the importance of diverse forms of political expression and the need to make foot voting more accessible to all Americans.

National Review: In Praise of the Pilgrims

The encounter between Europeans and Natives is tragic, but the Pilgrims' story is one of resilience and partnership.
