"During summer months in Spain, there’s rarely any point in looking at a weather forecast. The prognosis is always sunny, with the only variable being just how hot it’s going to be. The same has been true of its economy over the last few years, which has consistently outpaced those of other EU nations—often by a big margin—and was named as the best in the world in 2024 by The Economist magazine.
Spain began a gradual process of growth and modernization in the early 1950s, as Francisco Franco approached the halfway point of his four-decade rule."

NYC's affordability crisis is a supply problem. Expand supply, prices fall.
Mamdani's rent freezes and untouched zoning rules are why nothing gets built. You can't seize your way out of a shortage policy created.

NYC Mayor Mamdani’s property expropriation proposal is an unconstitutional power grab that would worsen the city’s housing crisis, says Cato’s @IlyaSomin. The better course is to respect constitutional property rights and let landowners build housing as they wish.

Nostalgia is a dangerous economic theory
“One reason nostalgia is so persuasive is that we view the past through the lens of the present. That’s why all the characters in historical dramas have healthy teeth! As the historian @nfergus recently remarked, one of his pieces of advice to aspiring historians is never to watch historical dramas”
