Home delivery, Venice style We saw this one morning in pre-pandemic times and it seemed slightly weird. No longer. Quote of the Day ”When all these layers of legal entitlements, technical rules, and criminal prohibitions are exposed, it is clear that the notion of market efficiency is pure fiction. The idea of a self-regulated market is preposterous. It would be like a competitive sporting event without a referee: it would not work, nor has it ever worked.”
Hi John - I just wanted to say an enormous Thank You for the pleasures of your morning emails over the past year. I'd always read you with interest in The Observer - and I'm a total non-scientist, so have appreciated how accessible your writing is. But these morning wake-ups have been a delight. I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to wish you a happier and easier New Year and in saying thank you - thank you - thank you SO much. All Best Wishes,Jo

Thanks John. Once in Venice I saw a handcart fully laden with Amazon Prime boxes being maneuvered over a foot bridge.
Gosh, Graham. That would have made a great picture!
