We don't do a lot of politics on the blog, you can get that anywhere (the barriers to entry are pretty low) but when we do we usually try to figure out how to make money off understanding the seen and unseen: How 'Peel and repeal' of Britain's corn laws improved the fortunes of the McCormick family or evaluating the financial viability of various green investments.
