Where this writer stands

Financial regulation1 piece

Tighter prudential rulesLighter capital rules and more competition
“The statesman who should attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals would not only load himself with a most unnecessary attention, but assume an authority which could safely be trusted, not only to no single person, but to no council or senate whatever, and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of a man who had folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it.” Read the piece

Trade1 piece

Diversify away from one partnerDeeper continental integration
“Smith's recognition that larger markets promote greater specialization is a chief reason he supported free trade.” Read the piece

Only opinion columns and editorials are scored. Each piece is read twice by a language model, which records the author's own stance on a policy topic only where the piece argues one, with a quote that must appear in the piece. An author's position on a topic is the average of their pieces, weighted by the model's confidence. News reporting is listed but never scored.
