- Reposted by Centre for British ProgressMission‑driven government needs more than ambition: we must rewrite the rules of the game. Today for @britishprogress.bsky.social, Pedro and I show how mechanism design (‘ reverse game theory’) can help the Government shape markets, crowd in investment and deliver radical reform.
- Reposted by Centre for British ProgressWill throwing more money at British companies actually help our economy? Politicians keep threatening to direct British savings & pensions to UK equities. But this won’t fix the underlying reasons for Britain’s low investment & productivity – and could deliver worse returns. 🧵

- Britain’s industrial and scientific revolution was not just marked by Brunel’s bridges and Stephenson’s steam engine. Before 1870, post was eyewateringly expensive, beyond the reach of almost all ordinary people. But the humble, pre-paid, halfpenny postcard changed everything.
- Suddenly communication was within almost everyone’s grasp. Businesses connected nationwide. Families could keep in touch. Crucially: people began to organise. Unions and suffrage movements mobilised via this revolutionary and affordable medium, catalysing social progress.
