Just watched @thedailyshow.com with John Stewart (@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social). @soumayakeynes.ft.com and @chadpbown.com were promoting their book "How to Win a Trade War". Really brought home the stupidity of Trump's tariff policy. On the reading/listening list open.spotify.com/show/7L2raXk...

How to win a trade war (and influence people) My new essay for the FT: as.ft.com/r/19d4135a-c...

@chadpbown.com's guest, @fbermingham.bsky.social, frames the challenge well for countries dealing with both superpowers. That those calling on China aren't pivoting, but rather, having to already deal with US antagonism, they are an effort to tone things down to help avoid fighting two trade wars.

Whatever the wisdom of trade and industrial policy interventionism, the question is not the caliber of the ordnance but the determination of those who wield it. by @alanbeattie.bsky.social

If the Trump administration hadn't imposed massive furniture tariffs then maybe event venues could find chairs large enough to accomodate @chadpbown.com.

Severe overcapacity and razor-thin margins in the Chinese market are the main factors driving China's EV exports to Europe, for domestic and foreign manufacturers alike. by Kana Inagaki & Edward White

Because obviously I've been using our "How to Win a Trade War" book talks as an excuse to bring out the ukuele...

While headlines focus on Trump's tariffs or Chinese electric vehicle exports flooding Europe, developing countries continue to suffer silently from another problem caused by China's trade. Arvind Subramanian joins to explain.

tfw the public radio O.G. @kairyssdal.bsky.social asks @soumayakeynes.ft.com and i to come on Marketplace (!!!) to talk about HOW TO WIN A TRADE WAR

How many interviews these two have done!!! @soumayakeynes.ft.com & @chadpbown.com

While Chinese exports of electric vehicles to Europe flood the headlines, developing countries continue to suffer silently from another problem caused by China's trade. Arvind Subramanian joins to explain why and what to do about it.

America is burning through missiles faster than the defense industry can replenish them. The constraint is a lack of competition. In 1990 there were 51 prime defense firms. Today there are five. Three control 90% of U.S. missile supply and don’t compete with each other. by Peter Devine & Sam Slocum

Chad P. Bown and Soumaya Keynes on whether Trump launched a trade war without a coherent strategy

So, uh, @chadpbown.com and I went on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart last night and Jon had read the book and really liked it. And I think my head might explode? m.youtube.com/watch?v=GYcw...

My latest, with @soumayakeynes.ft.com In the Sunday @nytimes.com 📰👉 www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/o...

Proposed EU law would set ceilings, expected to be about 30 to 40 per cent, for what can be bought from a single supplier, like China. The rest of the components would need to be sourced from at least three different suppliers, not all from the same country. by @andybounds.bsky.social

Whoa, Chad — you should really turn this into a book or something OH DAMN. www.simonandschuster.com/books/How-to...

Trump and Xi missed an incredible opportunity last week in Beijing. Here is what they should have done instead. My latest, with @soumayakeynes.ft.com in today's @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/05/17/o...

Some of America’s most powerful CEOs accompanied President Trump to Beijing during his summit with President Xi Jinping of China. Here's why. Super important reporting from Beijing by @anaswanson.bsky.social

"Xi Jinping has elevated Chinese industrial policy into something the world has never seen. It targets almost every industry and region, demand as well as supply, services as well as goods, the sophisticated and the mundane. Its goals are economic, technological and strategic."

Now that is an Optimistic Post to an Anxious Global Economy

Thanks to Morning in America for inviting me on to explain what we learned from the Trump-Xi Summit.

How the US-China trade war is creating more trade in legal services by Eleanor Olcott

...and that's a wrap on the Trump-Xi summit. Why Trump's upcoming new tariffs on China were so important to his talks with President Xi Jinping. Thanks to BBC News for having me on today's show.

Trump-Xi Summit Deliverables? Why the two leaders almost entirely avoided the economics of the relationship between the US and China, and why I don’t think that’s good news. Thanks to BBC News for having me on the show.

El Niño or not, the problem is that Donald Trump’s Iran war on top of the uncertainty of climate change has made the global food supply more vulnerable than it has been for decades. by @alanbeattie.bsky.social

A pleasure to join CNA Singapore bright and early this morning for a Trump-Xi summit preview

Even as China’s exports have hit new highs, trade between the US and China has suffered greatly since Trump came into office. Great deep dive into the data (with charts!) by @mbahree.bsky.social

Trump-Xi Summit Thanks to Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz for the invitation to join Bloomberg and for asking, IS THE U.S. PRESIDENT EQUIPPED TO WIN THIS TRADE WAR? My answer...

There are a lot of econ books I feel like I have to read. Rarer are the ones I *want* to read. But I’ve been waiting to dig into @soumayakeynes.ft.com & @chadpbown.com’s “How to Win a Trade War” since I first heard they were writing it. Excited to finally have it in my hands! #econsky
