The NHS Is Not Private, Is It?

If you had a couple hours with the new Prime Minister to deliver the economic gospel according to Adam Smith, what would you want to emphasize as actually doable? Well, I would say that considerable reforms in the government system are needed. We have a huge bloated civil service and nobody can navigate their way through it. Making the tax system and making it simple and straightforward, we have the most complicated tax system in the world. The planning reform, again, need to allow people to do what they like with their houses instead of saying you can't build an extra room or things like that when it doesn't affect anybody else.
