Interested in the claim about independent UK regulatory bodies. The FCA hires a lot of specialist economists that do good technical research. I think Offcom/gem do this too. All are independent.
I didn't know about the generalist focus in the civil service though, what are some examples of this?

like the civil service highs generalists and moves them around a lot
Uk specific comment - central government is restricted to hiring UK, EU and commonwealth nationals. Arms length bodies and research agencies aren’t.
