I've seen the US - #Iran "deal" referred to in #Israel as "peace for our time"... Appropriate enough?

Bob Dylan in the NYT today, in a piece where artists in their 80s were asked to describe the best and worst parts of being that age, and whether they had advice for the president on his reaching the milestone. (Dylan apparently passed on the final question, not surprisingly.)

What a remarkable outcome: the world's largest ever oil supply disruption failed to create a major energy crisis.

The IEA said 2026 shock was worst than 1973, 1979 and 2022 together. And yet, the cost of oil, natural gas, electricity and coal never surpassed the previous peaks.

Peer-reviewed literature review on degrowth:

◼️Almost 90% of “studies” are opinions rather than analysis.

◼️Few of them use quantitative or qualitative data; even fewer use formal modelling.

◼️Most of them offer subjective policy advice without policy evaluation.

◼️Most “studies” focus on small, local cases without a clear implication for the whole economy.

I don't know what Piketty, Stiglitz, and co. are smoking. Global poverty rates have never been lower. Progress on basic global health and wellbeing measures has been amazing over the past few decades. "End of the road"?!? Come again!?!

I finally got a chance to read this anti-growth article and its complete gibberish. Six authors reciting endless buzzwords & slogans with a fundamental premise (growth hasn't reduced global povery) that is provably false. Both the economics & the writing are embarrassing.
