Davos gave us globalism and now offers a front-row seat to its collapse.
With Grace Ballor, we examine both its historical momentum and weaknesses.

one thing that makes marx of such lasting value is that he managed to synthesize opposites; i specifically think about the way his fascination by captalism bleeds through the page at the same time he is revolted by it.

My 4 y.o. has that same kind of hat. When you squeeze the little tail thingies it makes the ears flop up and down. It’s the most adorable thing imaginable. I cannot fathom the cruelty and depravity it’d take to do this to this kid. Hell isn’t nearly hot enough for these people.

Holy shit. Carney calls the international rules based order a "useful fiction" that no longer works. "We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition (...) great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons".
Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

I see a lot of well meaning people (not OP) who like to talk about countries (usually the ones they're from or have an affinity with) as being steadfast bastions in the new cold war and I cannot stress enough that you have failed the assignment if you think this
i think, however, this is a crystal clear example that the next cold war is actually democracy vs autocracy and the battle lines run right through every single advanced democracy. there aren't really any safe harbors.

My weekend essay in @unherd.com on why central bank independence is a distraction. The real danger lies not with unelected technocrats but in the aggrandisement of power by authoritarians and the global financial sector—that’s true even for the Fed.
