By the way, a few people have kindly thrown some money in the kitty. You don't need to. This Substack is completely free. But it's appreciated. I would email you personally but I can't work out how to do it, so am leaving a note here!

I do find it weird that the so-called "progressive" stance on MUP is perversely more market-fundamentalist even than the IEA, somehow, embracing the logic of prices and consumption even in one of the very few circumstances (chemical addiction) where it doesn't apply.
