I have a new piece on the politics of discounting in the latest @nybooks.com, hopefully of interest to some.

Non-stop horror.

Rescuers used their bare hands to search through the wreckage, "with little to no equipment available to them in Gaza...Emergency crews witnessed dozens of bodies, overwhelmingly of children, which were burned and lay at the site of the strike."

We should be taxing the crap out of frequent flying. In many ways it's the easiest climate "win", and yet, because the world's wealthy -- on "progressive" left as much as right -- are so invested in their luxury emissions, it's also the least likely to happen

“If we do not act, by 2050 aviation emissions will be about a quarter of all human-caused emissions – that will be really a very shameful position". Amen.

Great to see industry insiders speak the truth on this important issue 🙏

"It's easy to forget that “crisis” is not simply a synonym for 'bad thing'. A crisis is a turning point... in which a decision is demanded that has not yet arrived."

Shaina Potts has written a brilliant & incredibly timely book about law, capital, and American empire.

I tried to do justice to it in this review essay (which hopefully will lead you to the book itself):
How the US Courts Rewrote the Rules of International Trade
Shaina Potts’s Judicial Territory examines how the American legal system created an economic environment that subordinated the entire world to domestic business interests.
