“What is clear is that the #Trump - #Greenland saga is gratuitous, grotesque, absurd. It would be a bad idea to spend too much mental effort trying to rationalize it. But how can we not?” open.substack.com/pub/adamtooz... #AdamTooze
“ #JosephStiglitz, a colleague of Tooze’s at Columbia who won a Nobel prize in #Economics in 2001, says that being a #historian gave #Tooze “a big advantage” in analysing the #crisis.” #AdamTooze www.theguardian.com/business/202...

"..many of the same countries that chose 80 years ago to ally with the Soviet Union to fight Germany will have to decide whether and on what terms they want to work with an economically dominant China on the climate problem."

“But the risk - as always with the #Trump administration - is of underestimating the sheer force of political radicalism and violence they have unleashed. Is this about political economy at all?” - #AdamTooze open.substack.com/pub/adamtooz... #Fed #JeromePowell

China’s path to modernity may echo its ancient encounter with Buddhism—foreign ideas, adapted and transformed, now reshaping the world. Sutras and solar panels, indeed. My new blog post here: www.antonharder.com/blog/moderni...

A chart showing the level of federal funding for universities in OECD countries; Canada is 15th.
In his Chartbook today, #AdamTooze includes a lament for the low level of #federalfunding for #universities in the #US from the Information Technology and #Innovation Foundation. The charts also point to Canada’s failings in that area. adamtooze.substack.com/p/top-links-... #Canada

'China’s CO2 emissions drop has just reached a dramatic historical moment.
Their greening power sector is meeting demand with renewables.' #AdamTooze
People...we CAN DO whatever the hell we want to. But Oligarch Owned Americans are allowing our green sector to be blunted. #WTF
A chart from the US International Trade Commission showing the top 10 imports from China to the US and China’s market share in each product category. It’s a well constructed, visually arresting chart, using bright pink and blue to distinguish China’s total exports to the US in each category in billions of dollars and its market share as a percentage. I could go about other details of the chart, but I’m reasonably sure that only a tiny number of people - if any, really - will read this. So that’s all I’ll write.
Somehow I missed this excellent piece by #AdamTooze on how #Trump pivoted to focusing his #tradewar on #China last week. It’s still worth a read.

A great conversation about what #Trump might be trying to do re the economy and the flawed process he is employing to get there, by people on the left and right who both want to help workers. #AdamTooze #SohrabAhmari
