Great episode w Simon Johnson, on #AI, #jobs, #power and #progress podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/v...

Pertinent.

Some problems w #tariffs:

1) they hit poor households the most, as they consume more of their $$ on goods #regressive
2) they hurt your own competitiveness when imposed on parts & components #owngoal
3) for small developing countries: incentive 4 domestic rather than #export focus

No option but to get out of storage this old t-shirt of mine. #tariffs #owngoal

Great conversation, indeed, about challenges and opportunities for the #Philippines economy to move to a higher path of growth and job creation.

Monday is off to a good start with a great interview with @gonwei.bsky.social , but I rushed out of the house so quickly I forgot my watch. Still, I am able to endure such disasters.

Is there an #econ-bluesky community out here?
