Brit Stats: Re: "One Market Under God, and Heaven Help Us All"

[Daniel Davies]

This and much other shit is the fault of Thatcher, who
decimated the Brit stats community as part of an
attempt to reduce the burden of red tape. 
Coincidentally making it vastly more difficult to
carry out Keynesian demand management in the UK ...
the net effect, however, may be positive, as it means
that the Bank Of England has to rely on its regional
agents a lot more, and on whizzy econometric models a
lot less.
