Mankiw's 7 resolutions for politicians :: WSJ
They're US-centric, but many generalize. My favorites:
2. "I am going to admit that unilateral disarmament in the trade wars would make the U.S. a richer nation."
3. "I will tell Americans that eliminating our farm subsidies should not be a "concession" made in trade negotiations but a policy change that we affirmatively embrace."
4. " I will tell the American people that a higher tax on gasoline is better at encouraging conservation than are heavy-handed CAFE regulations."
7. "I will be modest about what government can do. I know that economic prosperity comes not from government programs but from entrepreneurial inspiration."

If only politicians would adopt just those four.
