That's why, in my opinion, if you wear a polo, it has to have a little something: a bit of texture or a skipper collar. Or it can be worn underneath a tailored jacket (good tailoring is always good). It can't be that "slim fit chino, golf polo, dress sneaker, fancy sports watch" look.

But because involution is a consequence of the surge in manufacturing that was itself a response to the post-2021-22 decline in property investment, if this is true, it simply shifts the problem forward, as I explain in a recent CRI piece.

What’s New about Involution?
“Involution” is a new word for an old problem, and without a very different set of policies to rein it in, it is a problem that is likely to persist.

In the end, you cannot solve a structural problem through accounting or administrative measures. What we are instead likely to see is greater trade surpluses and rising inventories, with the former being the main way to limit the latter.

Why global imbalances do matter
If the US wants to accelerate a worldwide discussion with a policy intervention, the obvious one would be a tax on capital inflows

Manufacturing represents 27-28% of the Chinese economy, even more than the property sector. This means that anything that hurts manufacturing will be very hard for the rest of the economy to absorb.

My friends in manufacturing tell me that they are under huge pressure to reduce wages and fire workers, but they're also under a lot of pressure by local governments to show higher growth numbers, and this partly explains why exports continue to rise much faster than imports.

What is more, the growth in median household income was only 5.0%, which suggests that the poor, who are most likely than the rich to convert income into consumption, received a disproportionately low share of that increase.

Small biz owners are probably the most conservative members of the business world.
Today they say they're seeing declining optimism, expecting lower sales and hiring, and a significantly worsening picture for the overall economy.

The point is that what had seemed like a stable global trading regime was in fact based on an unsustainable dependence of the rest of the world on the willingness of the US (along with the UK and Canada) to exchange ownership of domestic assets for large trade deficits.

To make matters worse, the new tariffs don't really address the real US problem. One obvious reason is that the tariffs are largely bilateral, and while bilateral imbalances may impress those who don't understand trade and capital flows, they are in fact pretty useless.

One thing important to understand about the CA/MX tariffs is that while overall impact is likely to be modest in terms of inflation and output, they’ll have extremely concentrated negative effects in specific sectors. Autos are the best example given how many times parts cross those borders.

I knew this would happen, but it's still surreal to hear another nation's leader talk to us in a televised address the way US presidents have historically spoken to the citizens of countries led by dictators and despots.
Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

The global trading system is changing, in ways that may be as dramatic as in the 1930s and the 1970s. The temptation to go back to what used to work in the past may be a strong one, but it's not a sustainable one.

You can ignore all rules, of course, but then you will wind up with a nonsensical outfit that looks confusing. People who say they don't care about "rules" still seem to follow them when communicating in written form. This is because shared language has rules; they help, not hinder, expression.
