An IOU experiment in the pub.

Here is an IOU. A bill of exchange. A cheque, if you like. At the weekly think tank(pint) in Leicester Sq, fellow Occupier Al Dixon, offered me this piece of paper, in exchange for giving him some knowledge. I accepted it as a good deal. We had both won, both better off than before the free exchange. Me in credit, Al the wiser. It went around the table a few times. Finally Al gave me some

There are fewer Occupants now, say 50? Atmosphere is almost non existent. Pity. Time to move out with grace really.

Good title. Inside Housing journalist Alex Wellman asked me for 350 words this week. They cut out the first paragraph. I'm co-founder of economics think tank, The SFR Group. We integrate the nature of property ownership, privately created tax payer backed finance and taxation.

Post by Dr. Adrian WrigleyThere's been a lot of talk lately about new rail investment. Projects like HS2, upgrades to lines, and big projects like the rebuilding at Reading Station. But almost nothing is said about who really benefits. Where does all that investment go?During construction of course, it means more jobs and payments of money to workers, suppliers and construction industry bosses

Post by Dr. Adrian WrigleyA couple of nights ago there was an entertaining show in the Panorama series titled "Train Fares: Taken for a Ride?". The synopsys reads as follows:"Packed in like sardines, on trains that often arrive late... But it is the price of the tickets that really upsets lots of rail travellers, and fares have just gone up to record levels. So why are train fares so expensive?

Occupy London for me was a lesson in waking up to reality. That even the most noble causes are not yet ready to go further in terms of the truth. At least in the reform movement there are some who are asking: "so what do we do now?" Among these friends I remain confident. We're all asking the same question for the same reason. We realise its no longer a technical or political question. Its a

Someone who can put aside their prejudices for a while and give their mind the space to think. Joe Taylor of NATCAN. At the Occupy protest there are many people close to this form of freedom.

No surprises right about the verdict? But why are we bothered.

Given an eviction which will likely mean police violence on the peaceful protest, things are looking up in terms of the cause. But I do not

Sir, Our traders and MP still seem perplexed about how to encourage trade in Wokingham. They think a reduction in business rates are the answer. Total rental = business rates plus the rent agreed with landlord Business rates are the Council collected portion of the total rent. The remainder is collected by the landlord. So if business rates were reduced to "encourage" local trade, landlords

Banking is a service, not a privilege. People get wages paid in money today. They used to get it in kind, as wealth, as in the produce of their work. So money is just a proxy for wealth. It is not wealth itself. But it is exceedingly useful as a labour saving process. Its value comes about because all people can use this advantage and only by all people demanding it does it have this peculiar

Anyone who has taken care and time to study the simple facts of economics without prejudice (this rules out all economists) knows that: Tax comes out of rent Subsidy adds to rent Rent being the community created value of locations we live and work on. Subsidy being anti tax. Evidence abounds. Both deductively from thinking about it and inductively from observed fact. Please do not ask me again.
