New York and London have long competed to be the global capital of global capital. With plenty of business to go around, the competition has usually been friendly; now, as the West’s financial industry shrinks, it could become fierce.

But instead, our politicians are sacrificing growth to higher taxes and bad regulations, just as London is.
