Faisal Islam can scarcely disguise his bewilderment at today's mini-Budget. It's the sort of fiscal intervention that even seasoned commentators raise eyebrows at.
There's a warning that the last Budget of such tax cutting magnitude was the infamous Anthony Barber budget of 1972 that precipitated a period of boom and bust, effectively ending the era of Keynesian economics.
My worry is that if promoting growth were that easy, then other people would have thought of it previously. And that's what bothers me: is Liz Truss unaware of the Dunning-Kruger effect?
