A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) shows that estimates about the damage done by Brexit have underestimated its impact over the course of a decade. Data now suggests that Brexit has reduced UK GDP by 6%–8%, reduced investment 12%–18%, and reduced productivity by 3%–4%.

What’s the harm of trying? youtu.be/aCpbDQ-hIpw?...

In this off-the-cuff, spur-of-the-moment video, I ask a simple question: What’s the harm of trying something different? Why not invest? Why not tax wealth? Why not admit that government spending creates money?
What’s the harm of trying? When everything’s failing, why not change course?
