“Give me a long enough [time horizon] and a [compounding GDP growth rate] on which to place it, and I shall move the world [out of poverty]”, to paraphrase Archimedes.
When Tony Blair came to power in 1997, the UK economy was bigger than China and India combined.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social on the importance of spending multipliers & borrowing to invest

Zack is, without doubt, a great communicator. And on him talking about democracy & the bond markets I'm reminded of Eddie Dempsey at the Durham Miners Gala when he asked "who elected the bond market?"

To fail in one audacious takeover of a mining rival may be regarded as a misfortune. To fail a second time in 18 months looks like you’re not very good at dealmaking. www.reuters.com/commentary/b...

sadly you can't take it as accurate as I've just tried it on accounts where I'm 100% where they are run from, because they're mine and it's wildly inaccurate. At best the code is making poor assumptions, at worst, it's deliberately chaotic disinformation.

Literally the reason Twitter sucks now is all these foreigners logged on willing to do racism for pennies on the dollar and undercut our home-grown American racists. We need to erect serious trade barriers to protect the integrity of our domestic racism industry and preserve racist jobs.

Rewarding Twitter posters for rage bait always meant that it could make propaganda operations profitable and an actual export and source of foreign currency for foreign countries.

"The phrase," Caixin notes, "immediately sparked heated online debate and various interpretations. This wording is unusual, which raises the question: Is a “large-scale return” already happening, or are there warning signs?"

Cool.

Nothing in the comments references in any way what this is referring to.

Before drawing quick conclusions about this headline, I suggest maybe you read the article? He’s under fire for organising the political event where he gave the speech at his own initiative, and most of the criticism is coming from the far left & far right… www.france24.com/en/france/20...

Trump doing a “How do you do, fellow kids?” / “I’m a little bit of a socialist myself” with Mamdani is incredible content.

Yes, the Central bank of Crypto has de-pegged, but with low FX reserves they had no other choice. It should boost exports and tourism.
