It’s not only that the ACI is designed to respond to outside coercion. It was designed so *specifically because of Trump trade threats in his first term* (notably over EU digital services taxes).
“The EU's anti-coercion instrument is the bloc's most powerful retaliatory tool, designed to respond to deliberate coercive actions from third countries that use trade measures to pressure the policy choices of the EU or its members.”
Macron to Seek Use of EU Anti-Coercion Instrument Against US

If you want to understand the practical implications of the recent OECD-level “side-by-side” agreement that shields (in part) US multinationals from the global minimum tax, this assessment from former OECD tax chief Pascal Saint-Amans is truly excellent:
Has the global minimum tax survived Trump?
US objections have not killed off the 15 percent global minimum tax, but they have altered it and given the US a competitive advantage

Udover at formueskat nu (måske) kommer ind i den danske politiske debat igen, så er forslaget om at fixe det gabende ejer-smutholder der fuldstændig underminerer top-top-skatten interessant. Harmonisering er en no-brainer (om man så vil have top-top-skatten ned eller kapitalindkomstskatten op).

How do elite corporate professionals become... elite? In this paper, I conceptualize and study "trajectories to the top" as a series of status trade-offs across organizations (not just the climbing of an in-house career ladder).

1. This is insane (goes without saying).
2. The length serves a reminder of the breadth and depth and importance of international cooperation in every aspect of our lives today.
3. Note what's *not* on this list: WTO, World Bank, OECD, G7/G20, lots of big UN bodies (WHO, UNICEF, UNDP), etc.

FT reports China (the last holdout) lifted its objections to the minimum tax deal in the last few days.
It’s not immediately clear what they got in return, but the deal does open the door for other countries to get similar treatment as the US, which we know China (and India) had sought.

I continue to think @chrislhayes.bsky.social's point that our world is now over-engineered for the empty calories of social attention rather than the healthy meal of human recognition explains a lot about, well, everything.
I am trying to find the right term for the idea that governing decisions are disproportionately shaped by perceptions based from online bubbles, or aimed to please an imagined online audience.
What would be a good term?

There's this assumption that, sure, of course PwC and the Big Four can simply and succesfully extend into crypto services, policy allowing. Not so, as recent research shows: the cultural and organizational reform required is a substantial barrier.
