We wrote about the US ruling class taking the reins to manage its own decline. What do the Trumpist factions of capital want? Can that be squared with the interests of the MAGA base? Capable state managers could potentially thread the needle, but that's all gone. With @cedricdurand.bsky.social.

I've been studying China's RMB internationalization efforts for 16 years. This is the most forceful statement I've ever seen from PBOC when it comes to encouraging Chinese firms to use the RMB in x-border payments. This feels like a meaningful policy shift to me.

Clean energy is unequivocally cheaper for consumers — and a money-maker for society overall, just from the macroeconomic health-care savings of eliminating most air pollution, let alone from the benefits of halting global heating.
But is it profitable for capital? Discuss.
