On this day in 1883, John Maynard Keynes was born.
(Apparently, the woke brigade have come to destroy his legacy of late…how richly ironic given his economics funded their rise to prominence… “A l’exemple de Saturne, la révolution dévore ses enfants” as the Genevan Jacques Mallet du Pan appropriately noted).

The Damning Case Against China Over Covid-19 Deserves Proper Attention
City AM
A study by the University of Southampton estimates that an astonishing 95 percent of all global Covid-19 cases were avoidable had China alerted the world to the danger just three weeks earlier than it did on January 20.
PLY: Building on Hulsman’s article of last year in CapX, and last week’s excellent Spectator piece by Lord Ridley, John Hulsman goes for the jugular. He is not alone. The post-Covid scenario seems to be inferring that China bears a lot of blame for the original leak of Covid-19 and ironically the PRC has in many ways manifested the blame on itself through its remarkably heavy-handed attempts to divert blame from China to anywhere else…
Given the whitewash report of the WHO, it is fair to suggest this is nowadays the most useless global body in existence — despite there being considerable competition for that mantle amongst inept blob entities.

The Genius Of The Board Game, Monopoly
Economic Intersection
If you have, like I have, spent the most recent 25 years of your life trying to explain to your friends and strangers, something the basics of which an 8-year-old should be able to understand — and like me, you have utterly failed — try using the board game Monopoly as your example.
Last Word
Catch up Monday for Exchange Invest 2069…
the future continues in the water cooler for the bourse business…
