Facebook-innlegget mitt om at arbeidslivet må endres for at flere uføre skal kunne jobbe, er blitt til innlegg i Aftenposten. De har strøket en "drit og dra!", men har beholdt "Herre milde Josef og Maria", så det er da noe.

I’m sorry that economists don’t read or cite other disciplines & feel like they can “discover” new topics without reading the existing literature - something they would never tolerate in the other direction. But there are huge piles of books & articles about “geoeconomics” in IPE since the 1970s.

Jeg har skrevet et langt argument for hvorfor Oljefondet burde åpnes opp for andre investorer — både andre pensjonsfond og vanlige sparere — slik at flere kan benytte seg av et superbillig og superdyktig investeringsfond. Ingen betalingsmur! on.ft.com/3XimVKt

Veldig god tråd frå EU-forskar og EU-entusiast om kvifor det kan vere klokare å legge det nye militære samarbeidet i Europa utanfor EU. Trur særleg poenga om veto-dynamikker i EU, og det at vi treng få med UK (med sin militære- og etterretningskapasitet) er viktige.
With Macron calling an intergovernmental summit in Paris tomorrow, many wonder what is best institutional venue to discuss Europe's response to biggest security crisis since 1945. Here are 8 reasons why intergovernmental route is crucial now instead of relying on 🇪🇺 & Brussels institutions. 🧵👇 1/10

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x
Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Access to Treasury’s Payments System
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Mr. Musk’s representatives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

To understand how GOATed the US economy has been, consider that today's revisions have increased real GDP per capita growth by 1.2%, from 8.2% to 9.4%
That 1.2% increase alone is more growth than the UK, Germany, and Canada have seen, and is almost on par with France (1.5%)

can you believe we used to make solar energy by letting plants convert sunlight to sugar, waiting a couple hundred million years, digging them up, and setting them on fire
The world’s solar capacity reached 1,419 gigawatts in 2023, way beyond any predictions. 1 gigawatt = power for a medium sized city ☀️
