In fact #totalfactor #productivity outside government appears to have declined slightly since 2019. Like you I think #capital has been over rewarded for what it has contributed so rather fancy returning to the #crosland and #peston idea of the state mobilising and providing additional #capital - as it did before #margaretthatcher - or even going further still and reviving the idea of 'the state as entrepreneur' in fashion half a century back!

This is beautiful.

Skål, Genoss:innen! – „Powerplay – Smart Girls Go for President“ (2023)
„Basiert auf Wahrheit, Lügen und miesen Erinnerungen…“ – wenn ein öffentlich-rechtliches „Biopic“ als Serie in gleich zwei Staffeln mit so einem Disclaimer startet, dann ist Hinsehen eine verdammte Beitragszahler:innenpflicht. Und weil es aus Norwegen kommt, gleich nochmal! (ARD, Neu!)
@Geri What's it good for to spit on the dead. She did have moments she deserves be celebrated for. When I, just a couple of years ago, first heard and saw her speech at the UN assembly in 1989, I didn't believe my ears and eyes.
"It is life itself—human life, the innumerable species of our planet—that we wantonly destroy. It is life itself that we must battle to preserve."

#MargaretThatcher
"#Britain’s #capitalist state doesn’t need rebuilding, it needs dismantling, destroying, and burying in the bowels of #Satan, somewhere between #colonialism and #MargaretThatcher"
Otherwise known as 'the St. Petersburg Effect' . The logical outcome of which would be for the government to provide safe investments - such as gilts and #nationalsavings - for the less well off and to balance this out by investing in high risk areas itself! This was a policy towards which the #uk was moving half a century ago - before the advent of #margaretthatcher . An example of a road not taken ?

She wasn't called the "Iron Lady" for nothing
https://www.dailyhistory.org/Why_was_Margaret_Thatcher_called_the_Iron_Lady
"When Margaret Thatcher becomes [UK] PM in 1979 the British state is spending 6 million pounds a year on consultants. When she leaves in 1990 ... [it's] 246 million [pounds]. So it's gone up more than 40 times, and it's obviously gone up considerably more than then.
This is hardly shrinking the state, is it."

I found this old Facebook post of mine hidden away somewhere and I don't think I have ever posted it here. It amused me so it may entertain some other folks too.
It's also a true story!

The Trumpist bullshit propaganda creation #Transgenderism is a crappy rehash of #MargaretThatcher's 1989 attempt to have #Homosexuality blanked from the British consciousness by forbidding it's mention in schools.
The culrural sledgehammer was called #Clause28. And #AlanMoore resisted.
“Wait, wait, wait just a minute! Rob, did I just hear you say that you fucked Maggie Thatcher?”
Blushing even redder, a grin widened across Rob’s face. He muttered a shy, but not so reluctant “Yes,” hoping that would spell the end of it.
