🚨 **Quick Take on the New U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund** 🚨

An executive order for a U.S. sovereign wealth fund was announced *yesterday*. What does it mean?

I shared my thoughts on BBC Radio Newshour—tune in from the **38-minute mark

As of this week, EU regs mean that EVs have to make up a much higher share of all the vehicles sold. Good news!

Surprising but true: sovereign funds from oil-rich nations could play a major role in driving the green transition. 🌍💡 #SustainableFinance #GreenTransition #RenewableEnergy #ClimateAction #ESG

I'm not on Truth Social, but I'd like to see it merge with @bsky.app. I like to see what different groups think...

#academictwitter has now moved to @bsky.app. But let's hope that Bluesky doesn't become too much of a "safe space". Academics should be comfortable with dissenting ideas, including hearing from people they may find politically detestable. Academics shouldn't be so fragile.

I guess I need to start interacting on @bsky.app. Real human beings follow me! On the other platform, the only people that seem to follow me are bots or those selling a certain service.

I recently hosted historian Niall Ferguson
@adamsmithhouse.bsky.social
for a lecture and wide-ranging discussion on China, globalization, the values and continued influence of Adam Smith and classical liberalism.

Next Wednesday 29 November at 18:00 GMT, I'll be giving a lecture at the Royal Society of Edinburgh on 'How to think like Adam Smith'. If you'd like to watch the live-stream, please register here:

Everyone like free things. You can read one of my recent books without paying anything. And you'll have a better understanding of sovereign wealth funds after, at least that's the idea. Enjoy! library.oapen.org/bitstream/ha...

I recently gave inaugural lecture at Adam Smith's Panmure House. The title of my lecture was 'From State Capitalism to Sustainable Capitalism'.
