Your interview is hugely entertaining, but also shows the extent to which @elonmusk is conflicted in judging Taiwan/Ukraine by his Giga-investment in Shanghai. He should recognize this and stop talking about what the West needs to do with China and Russia.

Someone please mail to @AdamPosen a copy of "Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism" by Deaton and Case.
RT @matthewstoller: Another astonishing clip from the Cato Institute event today, this one from the influential Adam Posen, head of the Peterson Institute. He says a focus on domestic manufacturing is simply a “fetish for keeping white males with low education in the powerful positions they are in.”
RT @HannoLustig: Great list. Adding my own. Things one no longer hears this year:
- A government borrowing in its own currency never runs out of money.
- The government's fiscal capacity may not be limited because r<g.
- Run the economy hot to reduce income inequality.
-Why is inflation costly?
RT @Skapinker: Not just a problem for Liz Truss but for @Keir_Starmer and @EdwardJDavey. The three main English parties no longer represent the majority of the electorate.
As always, nice turn of words and excellent analysis by Summers, talking to @martinwolf_ The British blunder has led investord to focus on "hydraulics," who is moving in what direction, rather than the economics. Very risky moment for the world economy.

RT @HannoLustig: 3/Speculators may have less of an incentive to invest in learning about fundamentals in an environment where central banks decide to intervene based on the bond price. see beautiful JoF paper by @phlpbnd_bond and Itay Goldstein https://finance.wharton.upenn.edu/~itayg/Files/informationaggregation-published.pdf

Saudi Arabia not only is never a friend, it is proving once again to be an enemy of the West. Everything must be on the table: trade,defense, etc. Stop this murderous dictatorship.
RT @berlin_bridge: The 20th Century model of western 'partnership' (call it 'profitship') with brutal dictatorships is morally & strategically wrong. It failed to make or keep the world safe. Democracies everywhere must work together to end these toxic profitships & build a new 21st C order.

@StatModeling Wonder how common that is. Right now, in Columbia Business School Econ, every one in their office -- as was the case for most of the semester till now.

@PhillipLipscy Argument is about impact of compression, spread, variance, not about mean.
Agree fully.
RT @jasonfurman: Terrific @aden_barton column on grade inflation & grade compression: "Because most students receive consistently high scores, the cost of experimenting with hard classes or new subjects substantially rises."
