With all due respect, when did the US ever

"As Trump abdicates U.S. leadership on climate change, Asia is filling the void" | New op-ed by Benjamin Horton & myself for the @sfchronicle.com: www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

As Trump abdicates U.S. leadership on climate change, Asia is filling the void

OPINION: The U.S. once led the charge in confronting the planet’s most pressing challenges. But today, that leadership is eroding. Nowhere is this loss more visible than in climate science.

Thinking about the "shape" of the world economy in the 21st century, my mind turned to soup (some may say that happened long ago ;). Check out the latest Chartbook newsletter. tinyurl.com/bdvw24d3

Chartbook 413 The future of the world economy beyond globalization - or, thinking with soup.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of 1945.

Love this!
“Why not try imagining the future shape of the world economy neither as a neat assemblage of robust bricks, nor as a mesh of interlocking balance sheets, but as something more akin to a lumpy potage, or a noodle and dumpling soup.” @adamtooze.bsky.social

“…national average participation in the general strike stood at around 60%, halting all the main services in key sectors including transportation and schools.”

When they say national, they mean national. Took this photo hiking through the tiny hillside hamlet of Botteghino di Zocca today.
