El IAJD de las hipotecas lo pagan los pobres 18 enero, 2021
foto: @thefromthetreePor Isaac Ibáñez GarcíaComo apuntó el profesor Tejerizo López (El mal llamado “Impuesto sobre las Hipotecas”), una de las soluciones para el arcaico IAJD es la de “hacerlo desaparecer sin más. Esto es lo que ha ocurrido, por ejemplo, en Alemania, sin que al parecer hayan sufrido un quebranto irreparable los ingresos tributarios de un paí […]

Conservadurismo, Roger Scruton 17 enero, 2021
foto: @thefromthetree El conservadurismo tiene que ver con conservar las cosas: no todo, por supuesto, sino las cosas buenas que admiramos y apreciamos, y que, si no las cuidamos, podríamos perder. Estas cosas son nuestros bienes colectivos más importantes: la paz, la libertad, la ley, el civismo, la seguridad de la propiedad y la vida familiar. Para obtene […]

La Comisión UE ha multado una vez más (recuérdense los asuntos Lundbeck o Servier) por prácticas conocidas como "pay for delay" en el ámbito del mercado farmacéutico, concretamente en relación con el medicamento genérico.

La UE ha dado un paso importante para sancionar a Amazon por abuso de posición de dominio (aquí la nota de la Comisión), confirmando así los rumores existentes.

Access and Interoperability and Antitrust 16 julio, 2020
Many of you will have seen a lecture I’ve given on several occasions since around 2011 when I discuss antitrust issues around interoperability.
