Only to the extent that all government is central planning, as I read it. Your sewage system is centrally planned, but that's okay, right?
The UK can't make stuff because the rent is too high. Fix this and a lot of stuff downstream of it will change.
Central planning is making the rent too high. The UK isn’t rich enough for stuff to be expensive because of extremely high demand. Its expensive because it’s too hard to build stuff.
The UK wouldn’t accept the pain necessary to start making things again just like we were never going to accept the changes needed to make Brexit a success.
