No, you misunderstand capitalism. Probably because of politics.Ha ha. You have completely and utterly missed the point I am making, and I suspect not deliberately. You were referring to pure economics, whereas I am suggesting that a political economy perspective is more applicable. I am giving primacy to political considerations rather than economic. The need to maintain electoral support of Red Wall seats is a clearly rational self-interest decision to explain BoJo’s motivation to act promptly in this crisis. My view is not based on any personal politics, but an understanding of political science influenced by work like that of Thomas Piketty and Simon Lee, not The Gruaniad.
