Description
Will the new government focus more on evidence-based policy - and evaluation - than the last? Does anthropometrics - hailed as a new area of economics - mark a return to Victorian ideas? We figure ...out how much tax banks contribute to the UK economy (after Digby Jones claimed the figure to be 24%) and the Pareto Principle - a power law - what is it, and why does it appear to apply to many areas of life?
