Striking Economist chart in the latest Tooze newsletter. Presumably NY's vertiginous rents would make NY's _real_ real wages (i.e. real wages post housing costs) look even worse by comparison. New mayor really has got a challenge on his hands

This is my effort to collect in one place the top 3 reasons (imho) why 'the free market' should not even be a starting point for analysis - especially normative (legal,policy) reasoning. Also includes a brief account of how the modern idea of the self coordinating market emerged in fits and starts.
