A Brit in the semis of Wimbledon, England still in the World Cup and Nigel Farage spending the summer arguing with a bin. Oh this happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea

Everything he touches turns to gold.

What about watching the World Cup all day every day?

Happy 250th from Provincetown, MA.

Trump University writ large. Nobody can say they weren’t warned.

That was ridiculous. You have a scheduled break or you don’t.

The New Yorker has posted online a lengthy profile I wrote of Alan Greenspan, which was originally published in early 2000, just before the bursting of the dot com bubble. I was more skeptical than many of "the Maestro," but I found him fascinating 1/4

"The boom-and-bust cycle has always been a feature of capitalism, and—capturing as it does the human traits of creativity, hope, greed, fomo, anxiety, and panic—it always will be." My new column was inspired by Liaquat Ahamed's engaging new book on the Great Panic of 1873. (1/3)

"Vance got to the point. They needed to invoke the Insurrection Act, swiftly, to crush the unrest in Minnesota. It would be painful in the short term, he said, but the message it would send — that paid agitators can't get away with disrupting ICE operations — would make sure no one tried it again."

As a fellow product of West Yorkshire, I've always had a soft spot for David Hockney. Here is a poster of his "Salts Mill" (1997) that hangs in my home office. Characteristically bright and colorful, the mill looks like it never did--at least before global warming.

Trump is the world's worst negotiator. Touted a ceasefire agreement before the Iranian Revolutionary Guards had signed off on it. Guess what? It led to pushback from the Iranian government, which has to sell the deal to the Guards. Amateur hour.

"I knew even as a child that it was sunny in Los Angeles because even though Laurel and Hardy wore overcoats, they cast long shadows." Very nice obit of David Hockney by Phil Davison in the Washington Post. washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2...

"According to the watchdog group Public Citizen, World Liberty Financial, a new-age finance firm that issues crypto tokens and stablecoins, & which Trump co-founded in 2024, has created more than a billion dollars for him in equity and cash inflows." @johncassidysays.bsky.social for @newyorker.com

This is the appropriate framing. The self-dealing part of the settlement that applies to Trump and his family stays in place.

Here are four of the books we recommend in our new podcast. Two that look at Prebisch, one that deals with the 'infant industry' argument & one that looks at ideas. #EconSky @cacrisalves.bsky.social @devikadutt.bsky.social @ingridhk.bsky.social @surbhikesar.bsky.social @johncassidysays.bsky.social

"It just so happens that the Trump family has close ties to Polymarket and Kalshi. One of the investors in Polymarket is the venture-capital outfit 1789 Capital, where Donald Trump, Jr., is a partner. Trump, Jr., is also a “strategic adviser” to Kalshi." www.newyorker.com/news/the-fin...

Not enough news coverage of how the insurrectionist reparations fund is a clear violation of the 14th Amendment. We need to enforce the Constitution in its original meaning and plain text. You can't imagine away parts of the Constitution just because it is politically inconvenient.

Getting more like the Führerbunker ever day.

ICYMI: @jaredb-econ.bsky.social wrote a bang-up piece about Michal Kalecki and what we can learn from him in an era of billionaires and a declining labor share. (And no, I'm not just linking to it b/c it refers to my book, although that was nice.) econjared.substack.com/p/michael-ka...
