Politicians and business leaders love cheap credit: low interest rates create a temporary boom. But when driven by credit creation not real saving, the outcome is necessarily a bust.

Tariffs are terrible – but Trump may save free trade
In politics, asking nicely for sound policy based on high principle does not work. Alas. Trump's policy is massively disruptive and potentially hugely damaging: how could good come of it?
