Applications are open for the Finance Summer School 2026. Last two have been at Brown. This one is at LSE thanks to LSE European Institute and Huth Initiative, plus the Berkeley Program on Finance and Democracy. Stellar Line up. Apps open: forms.gle/WsEVk4Yy52Dn...

Actually, not final for today. New Rhodes center Podcast is out. Seth Rockman interviews Sven Beckett about his new book, Capitalism: A Global History. Enjoy: player.captivate.fm/episode/76bb...

And finally for today a Pod I did with two British friends who used to work police intel and have seen the collapse of state capacity up close and personal: thecollators.com/s2e1

Also, my Berkeley talk on Citizenship and the Politics of Grievance from December is up. Its long. Lots of slides. Trying to think through how to talk about the nation without becoming an ethnic nationalist: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLWh...

Did the Dip (not the Dig) podcast with Deutsche Welle (in English). If you want to know my thinking about the current moment this is a good place to get it in less than 15 mins: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTL1...

While Trump thinks that the non-existence of windmills in China shows the obviousness of the big green scam, the UK intel community still thinks climate change is real and a massive security risk: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/696e0e... Who would you believe? Really...

Two views of the present. If you can get past the FT paywall, Howard Lutnick on the American present: www.ft.com/content/a675... And now Cornel Ban on America's actual present and likely future: substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Something a bit more fun (kinda). What's behind the attack on the Fed, and central banks/technocratic governance, in general? Regime Shift, Power Play, or the Politics of Distraction? Probably all of the above. Me of @onthemedia.bsky.social this weekend: www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

Mike Green is at it again. His ability to recast what I think I know into something else entirely is incredible. Here he does it again. This time on what full Ai automation (or even partial) would actually mean. It's not what you think: www.yesigiveafig.com/p/the-thermo...

For your weekend listening pleasure. I did the Top Traders podcast. These folks ask the best questions. Got into loads of interesting stuff. Enjoy: www.toptradersunplugged.com/podcast/when...

Did this great pod with the public policy crowd at the University of Glasgow. I was interviewed by Nicola McEwan, who went to Graeme Street tech in Dundee with me back in the 80s, and then we both went on to Strathclyde for undergrad. Great fun to reconnect: open.spotify.com/episode/29nh...

Two substacks that have become indispensable reading for me are @cornelban on Geoeconomics: substack.com/@GeoEconomic and @NikKalyanpur on thepriceofpower.substack.com Subscribe to both and cut through the BS

The best thing about winning this award is that you can only accept it wearing a Kilt. Many thanks to the Scots in New England for this lovely, and very meaningful, award: scotsnewengland.org/and-the-winn...

Interview in a Korean Financial Daily, for those of you who can finally get me an invite to South Korea (never been): n.news.naver.com/mnews/articl...

Dan Driscoll and I had some thoughts: www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/g...

If there was ever a headline that described how the West came apart it's probably this one: nytimes.com/2025/08/07/w... I love the understatement of 'Alarmed.' "Asking WTUF?" might be more accurate.

Did a Canadian business oriented pod last week. Got into some interesting stuff. Worth a listen: wealthsimple-tldr-podcast.simplecast.com/episodes/how...
