[F. A. Hayek Quotes @FAHayekSays]

“An economist who is only an economist cannot even be a good economist.”

— Friedrich Hayek

[Liberty Fund @Liberty_Fund]

"I think Keynes was a great economist. And I think the General Theory is a great book. It just is that I think it offered a hypothesis which, when subjected to the evidence, turned out to be wrong."

Immer mehr Geld für Aufrüstung und Krieg? Das halte ich für völlig falsch! Deutschland hat im Jahre 2025 seine Militärausgaben um unglaubliche 24 Prozent angehoben, von 88 Milliarden Dollar pro Jahr im 2024 auf 114 Milliarden pro Jahr im 2025! Ich finde man hätte das Geld lieber in die Deutsche Bahn investiert, die immer wieder verspätet ist. Dann hätten alle Bürger etwas davon! Deutschland liegt weltweit auf Platz vier der Länder mit den höchsten Rüstungsausgaben nach den USA, China und Russland. Die Schweiz landet mit rund 6 Milliarden Franken auf Platz 37. Auch Österreich rüstet auf, seine Rüstungsausgaben lagen im letzten Jahr bei 6 Milliarden Dollar, ein Anstieg von rund 20 Prozent gegenüber 2024 und von rund 76 Prozent im Vergleich zum Jahr 2022. Dies zeigen die neusten Zahlen des Stockholmer Friedensforschungsinstituts SIPRI, die am 27. April 2026 veröffentlicht wurden. Was ich erstaunlich finde: Im Bericht auf ARD Tagesschau wird verschwiegen, dass Deutschland konkret 114 Milliarden Dollar für Aufrüstung ausgegeben hat im 2025! Auch die Vergleichszahl für 2024 von 88 Milliarden fehlt! Ich habe diese Zahlen im SIPRI Originalbericht gesucht und gefunden. ARD will sie scheinbar der Bevölkerung nicht zeigen, obschon ein Zuwachs von 26 Milliarden massiv ist. Was könnte man mit dem vielen Geld alles Gutes tun! Nie wieder Krieg!

President of Brazil Lula da Silva delivers a harsh reality check to Washington. He reveals how Brazil and Türkiye successfully negotiated a peaceful nuclear deal with Iran in 2010, only for the US and Europe to completely sabotage it. The West never wanted peace in the region.

Joseph Stiglitz has a gift for turning classic market arguments on their head. In conversation with @sndurlauf, he frames the economy as a balancing act, pulled and pushed by political forces. This extraordinary discussion is not to be missed → https://t.co/NVnaU5W68J

TUCKER: “How much does it matter what Americans think?”

AMB. HUCKABEE: “It matters every bit.”

TUCKER: “80% oppose war with Iran.”

AMB. HUCKABEE: “We don’t live in a world where polls dictate policy.”

TUCKER: “Oh, I thought you said it matters what Americans think.”

[Anup Malani @anup_malani]

Between 1974 and 2014, only 0.1% of publications in the top 50 economics journals were replication studies.

That's 40 years. Thousands of papers. Almost none replicated.

We've built careers on findings no one has verified.

When economists finally replicate studies, 40-67% fail depending on the study.

Federal Reserve (2015): Only 49% of 67 papers from top journals successfully replicated — even with the original authors' help.

Most papers? Never checked at all.

Here's the worst part: Papers that don't replicate get cited MORE than papers that do.

And after a failed replication is published, only 12% of subsequent citations mention it.

The profession rewards interesting findings, not true ones.

Remember Reinhart-Rogoff (2010)? "Debt above 90% GDP kills growth."

Herndon, Ash & Pollin found a spreadsheet error. Results didn't hold. But by then, it had shaped austerity policy across Europe and the US.

How many other canonical papers have Excel errors?

We replicate recent papers, but canonical findings from the 1970s-90s? Nobody touches them. Too famous. Too foundational.

The older the paper, the less scrutiny it gets. Yet these are the studies we cite most.

Maybe we should replicate backwards.

Start with the most-cited papers from 1975-2000. See what holds up.

Los productos silvoagropecuarios chilenos se posicionaron a nivel internacional 💪🏻

Entre 2022 y 2025, no solo se abrieron mercados, que se garantizaron envíos efectivos, continuos y competitivos mediante coordinación público-privada, facilitación sanitaria y herramientas estratégicas del Estado 🤝

Estos avances técnicos y logísticos protegen la continuidad exportadora de productos sensibles, amplían alternativas y entregan mayor previsibilidad al comercio internacional para aumentar la competitividad chilena.

[Ministerio de Agricultura de Chile 🇨🇱 @MinagriCL]

Chile no solo exporta productos, exporta confianza 🙌🏻

La ministra de Agricultura, Ignacia Fernández, junto al director nacional (s) del SAG, Oscar Camacho; y la directora nacional de ODEPA, Andrea García visitaron el packing Fatima, Multifruta, y realizaron un balance de la Agenda de Competitividad Agroexportadora Sustentable 2022–2026.

📌Principales hitos:

✅ Las exportaciones silvoagropecuarias aumentaron un 6,5%, alcanzando en 2024 un récord histórico de más de US$ 20.525 millones en envíos agrícolas.

✅ El mayor dinamismo provino del sector agrícola, con una expansión cercana al 23%, liderada por frutas frescas y secas, semillas y hortalizas. Este crecimiento fue diversificado: más de 20 categorías mostraron alzas sostenidas.

✅ Se concretaron 120 procesos internacionales entre 2022 y 2025, incluyendo aperturas, reaperturas y ampliaciones de protocolos en mercados estratégicos de Asia, América y Europa.

👉🏻 Además, las autoridades destacaron el buen desempeño de la temporada 2025/26: al 31 de enero, los envíos crecieron 9,1% respecto a la temporada anterior, alcanzando USD 4.402 millones FOB y 1.319,6 millones de kilos en volumen (+12,8%).

Estos resultados reflejan una política pública que fortalece el acceso a mercados y la reputación de Chile como proveedor confiable de alimentos 💪🏻🌱

John Mearsheimer: “If you listen to President Trump, his most important concern is who controls the oil in Venezuela. He thinks basically that's our oil. It's ours to determine what it is used for and how it is used. This is just blatant imperialism or neocolonialism..”
