Wearing my policy wonk hat, my latest paper - Cholesterol:The Public Policy Implications of Not Doing Enough - is published tomorrow and launched at a seminar in Brussels.

To quote the abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to consider the implications for public policy within Europe of a continued lack of attention to the impact of high and rising levels of cholesterol between now and 2020.

Rather than dealing with the purely medical impact, it will concentrate on an area of public policy of universal concern, namely, the impact on Europe’s welfare systems and the knock-on effect on national budgets and economic growth.

After examining the likely state of play in future years, it will show how cholesterol levels will make the situation far worse and threaten to undermine proposed policy solutions. Finally, it offers non-medical policy solutions which might be adopted as a means of averting such problems.

Told you it was an insomnia cure.

As I say, it's launched tomorrow in Brussels. But you can download it here, today. Wow. Never say this site doesn't offer stunning opportunities to readers. I doubt the server will be able to cope with the rush.
