Politicians are notorious promise breakers. A British prime minister vows to cut net migration to the “tens of thousands,” only to discover that EU free‑movement rules, domestic demand for migrant labor, and global shocks keep the numbers high. A US president pledges to bring back manufacturing jobs, but global supply chains and trade rules blunt […]
