The post-pandemic recoveries belong to the small South European economies (remarkably resilient recently), while Germany and the UK are the main laggards - opposite of the post-2010 recovery.

Nordics and Central-Eastern Europe in between with Czechia a notable exception.

Writing directions of the World.

[Patrick Campbell @Patticus]

My favorite tool I learned hunting targets at the NSA:

"Journey of a Dollar" analysis.

Basically, when analyzing an industry the first step is mapping how a dollar flows through it.

I map out:
- Who touches the $
- How many they touch
- How long they sit

From this I'm able to know:
- Where power/gravity exists
- Which parts are vulnerable for a wedge
- If the industry's worth targeting
- Where to dig deeper

This works at the industry and company level.

For instance, I love mapping a businesses cash inflows and outflows to find areas of efficiency.

There's a lot more I could go deeper on.

If interesting, just reply with questions or enthusiasm and I'll oblige with more content. :)

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

3.3 billion people live in countries that spend more on debt interest payments than on education or health.

This is more than a systemic risk – it’s a systemic failure.

Action will not be easy. But it is essential, and urgent.

Real wages losses differ markedly across countries; workers in some Eastern, Northern and Southern EU countries have been particularly hard hit.

Good Morning from Germany, which is well on its way to becoming the sick man of Europe again. While elsewhere in Europe forecasts being taken upwards, consensus expectations for Germany pointing downwards, despite the fact that Germany has just announced biggest population jump since reunification.

A small thread about regional development in Europe. People tend to talk about Northern, Southern and Eastern Europe. But if you look at regions you get a different picture.

[Penny Mordaunt @PennyMordaunt]

I did not know what Jo’s fate would be, but I kept her letters and notes to me.

Why? Because they represent the thing I treasure most about Parliament. We do have more in common than that which divides us.

If we remember that then our differences and disagreements are no longer a weakness.
They become our strength.
