Oil, Climate Change and Bottlenecks yesterday, OMB memos tomorrow don't miss out www.crisesnotes.com#/portal/signup

Very excited for the piece coming out tomorrow. A lot of work went into this, not to mention the preparation for the whole series. Knock on wood I think we'll have a piece in this series once a week through at least the summer.

Nice to have Nathan back! W shoutout to @madisoncondon.bsky.social

NEW @crisesnotes.bsky.social PIECE: I write about the 2026 Trump Iran Oil Crisis as an entry way for thinking more systematically about bottlenecks as the quintessential 21st century economic problem, particularly in the face of climate change. www.crisesnotes.com/trumps-2026-...

Reading. Following. Grateful for the generosity.

NEW @crisesnotes.bsky.social PIECE: This is my short introduction to a new series I'm very excited about (and already have pieces written for): The Hierarchy of Finance in a Capitalist Economy. www.crisesnotes.com/a-new-series...

A little preview for Bluesky: I am really hitting the ground running in terms of writing coming out of my illness. Tomorrow morning I will be debuting a @crisesnotes.bsky.social series I've long wanted to do: The Hierarchy of Finance in a Capitalist Economy www.crisesnotes.com#/portal/signup

We're back, back in the New York groove! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUjB...

NEW PIECE: After a very extended recovery from illness I'm back with a new piece, focusing in on the role of the OMB in our ongoing constitutional crisis. www.crisesnotes.com/the-ombifica...

A more forceful response was indeed warranted, as I said at the time. www.crisesnotes.com/powell-will-...

I was absolutely delighted that @nathantankus.bsky.social asked me to write this for Notes on the Crisis after he read my paper. I hope you’ll enjoy reading it (and subscribe to NOTC!).

for actual facts about important things, read @nathantankus.bsky.social "At a time when the Trump administration seems poised to hand out even more funds to farmers while it further guts our statistical agencies, I think this topic is more important than ever." www.crisesnotes.com/what-is-a-fa...

NEW @crisesnotes.bsky.social piece by @profsecchi.bsky.social! Late to posting it here but this piece is really a must read on how the USDA counts- or miscounts- farmers, how this came about and why it matters. www.crisesnotes.com/what-is-a-fa...

You can also give me birthday money :) www.crisesnotes.com#/portal/supp...

This is the 47th piece I've written and published this year. And as those who read my pieces can attest, we're not talking short and easy writing. Knock on wood, I think I'll be able to hit 52 pieces this year. Which is an insane rate of output. At 34 dollars for a year, my birthday sale is a steal

NEW @crisesnotes.bsky.social PIECE: I finally have written up the extraordinary fact that the @federalreserve.gov has created an entire page specifically devoted to my FOIA requests entitled "Historical Board Documents". Also, my birthday sale is still underway! www.crisesnotes.com/the-federal-...

The new @crisesnotes.bsky.social office sign is adorable
