No Brasil, a renda de quem tem mais de 65 anos é superior à de quem está no auge da vida adulta
Na maioria dos países, essa proporção é significativamente menor
Onde não é, há um eterno problema fiscal, tal como a França

The ocean continued to warm in 2025, reaching record high levels.
It is expected that the ocean will continue to warm well into the future – a change which is irreversible for hundreds to thousands of years.

How does trade liberalization affect developing countries with large informal sectors?
Informality fundamentally changes how we think about the gains from trade. (1/5)
In settings with high informality, the gains from trade are significantly amplified by reductions in misallocation. During economic downturns, the informal sector acts as a buffer against unemployment but leads to larger aggregate real-income losses. https://t.co/r6WFr9vKcE
Chess taught Kenneth Rogoff about control. He now sees the dollar’s grip on global finance under pressure. Read more in F&D magazine. https://t.co/kU9i8dZSH2

Very cool JMP by @ppcreanza: the Gilded Era merger wave didn't kill innovation, it turbo boosted it.
Large scale consolidation in early 20th century enabled large industrial labs, lower cost of capital, and more breakthrough patents

Fintech, big tech, and banks are reshaping finance—sometimes competing, often collaborating. Public policy must keep pace, Aldasoro, Frost, and Shreeti write in F&D magazine. https://t.co/6oVpmERbBj
Land areas warm faster than the oceans - just as predicted since many decades. It’s basic physics, seen each spring as well. But climate deniers pretend to not know it.
It also means: 1.5 C global warming is more like 3 C where we live and grow our food: on land.
