I was listening to Carney and thinking of Roland of Guilead (The Dark Tower) saying, "The world has moved on."

The international order is in the midst of a phase transition. I hope the world takes advantage of the chaos this rupture creates and uses that energy to forge a better, more just world.

This (and similar arrangements across the world) seem like an inevitable result of the US generating higher trade barriers and other frictions with long-time allies...

Today on Volts: Swedish tech entrepreneur Jonas Birgersson was once known in his country as "broadband Jesus" for his efforts in spreading decentralized, low-cost broadband access. Now, he wants to bring the same decentralized, peer-to-peer revolution to the electricity grid.
Making the electricity grid work like the internet
Jonas Birgersson joins me to explain how "packet-switching" for electrons can lead to energy abundance and grid resilience.

I just finished a three-year term as an editor at an international relations journal. I began at the start of the LLM era but ended right in the middle of it. Our volume of submissions tripled and our desk reject rate rose to 75%. I have some thoughts.

Yes, but our central bank head will lead the manning of the blockades during the Revolution.

in Canada they put the central bank head in charge of the country, in the United States they try to put the President in charge of monetary policy

Can state-building disrupt rather than stabilize society? Thrilled to have a new article in @apsrjournal.bsky.social w/ @mikealbertus.bsky.social showing that the expansion of state communication networks spurred rebellion for decades in France before the Revolution.

"a contract made in anticipation of divorce was considered morally repugnant. In 1940, a Michigan judge refused to uphold a prenup, emphasizing that marriage was “not merely a private contract between the parties.”
