Ufattelig ubalansert innslag om statens «kostnader» ved Norgespris på morgennyhetene på @nrk i dag. «Kostnaden» er en direkte følge- og er en BRØKDEL av statens enorme merinntekter fra de høye strømprisene som Stortinget lovet vi ikke ville få da de vedtok flere utenlandskabler.

In 1970, the UK and Norway both discovered oil in the North Sea. The UK sold their reserves to private markets while Norway kept state ownership. This ONE decision created the biggest wealth gap in European history. Here's the full story: 🧵

Argentina’s president is often wrongly lumped in with populist leaders such as Donald Trump, the hard right in France and Germany or Viktor Orban in Hungary. In fact he comes from a different tradition: a true belief in open markets and individual liberty econ.st/3OqF5oy

Japan and some of the major European nations, notably France and Germany, have become too inflexible to reform. Fear of change makes them defensive, incapable of renovation and lacking the daring to invest in the future. They aim at protecting the past. Wonderful for tourism.

Under Norway's current government, owner taxation has exploded by a staggering 107% from 2021 to 2023—nothing short of state-sanctioned confiscation, as former EFTA Court President Dr. Professor Carl Baudenbacher has aptly described. To see a so-called "senior engineer" dismiss this as insignificant is both pathetic and infuriating. Such blatant ignorance, combined with the inability to grasp the devastating consequences of this policy, reflects the dangerous incompetence of a voting population enabling Norway's collapse. Norway is sleepwalking into disaster. This is not just a tax hike—it’s the calculated implementation of state capitalism, Communism 2.0, under a deceitful guise of equality. If the world doesn’t wake up to this assault on private enterprise and individual liberty, we risk burying innovation, ambition, and freedom under the weight of bureaucratic tyranny.

Jeg har ny kronikk om den norske kronen i @DN i dag. Konklusjonen min er den samme som da jeg skrev om tema i juli: produktiviteten må opp, enten vi bekymrer oss for kronekursen eller ei. dn.no/okonomi/okonomi/valuta…
Debatt: Norge har rett og slett blitt fattigere (+)

Debatt: Norge har rett og slett blitt fattigere (+)

Politikerne bør nå komme med forslag til konkrete tiltak for å styrke produktiviteten heller enn å bare utrede symptomet – den svake kronen.

The @KamalaHarris economic plan is to increase demand with subsidies and to reduce supply with price controls, and to do so in the first 100 days of her administration. Who is her economic adviser? Will he or she at least explain how this is supposed to work?
