Few economists write like Dani Rodrik.

He combines clarity, precision with the courage to say what others only think.

If video were available back then, this is how disappearances during right-wing Latin American dictatorships would look.

Seeing citizens kidnapped by government forces should drive people to take to the streets, but apparently, it is not enough.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

I just received an email informing us about safety measures to take when traveling. Five years ago, I would not have imagined seeing these countries named together:

"Countries classified as high risk in terms of knowledge security are: China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and the United States."

Very good article by @martinsandbu.ft.com. I am still debating whether pragmatism now to prepare for a future confrontation might make sense. But when I hear European leaders praise Trump I do feel like the title of this article: they are selling our soul.

As densely populated apartments significantly outperform detached houses across virtually every environmental metric, Spain should be considered an environmental paradise, @kikollan.llaneras.es ??

Es una pregunta genuina, que conste.

Trust in science/scientific expertise is an essential ingredient of successful public policies. Great thread by @carlbergstrom.com below. A few years ago I wrote with Cristina Bicchieri on this topic:

Me estoy perdiendo algo, @jl-ferr.bsky.social ? Yo siempre me he definido como migrant (y nunca como ex-pat).

Enrique Fatas @enriquefatas.bsky.social · Aug 10
En inglés sí que hay esa distinción: migrant (as a person who moves regularly in order to find work especially in harvesting crops, Webster), versus immigrant (a person who comes to a country to take up permanent residence) 2/n

Pregunta genuina: la RAE define a migrante como el que migra, o sea el que se traslada desde el lugar en que se habita a otro diferente. 1/n

Google Gemini doesn’t appear to be doing too well:

‘"I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes . . . I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe," the bot continued.’
Google says it's working on a fix for Gemini's self-loathing 'I am a failure' comments
Google Gemini users said the bot is sharing self-loathing messages while attempting to solve tasks, including "I am a disgrace to this universe."

Yes, but let's be clear about the narrative: this was not a trade deal. The US can always impose 15% tariffs on the EU, no need for Europe to agree. What was agreed is that the EU will not retaliate after that imposition (plus some other details that no one yet understands).
The EU has validated Trump’s bullying trade agenda
The US president’s deals are not a win-win for the global economy

To state the obvious, the US economy has slowed down in 2025. Growth rates by semester (to remove the noise associated to imports/inventories dynamics in first two quarters)

It’s human trafficking of Venezuelans to a foreign country, paying El Salvador, who gets slave labor from them in one of the most brutal prisons on earth.
