Bill Nordhaus, one of the winners of today’s Econ Nobel, wrote a mind-blowing paper about the cost of artificial light over thousands of years. Here’s an ep of @planetmoney about it. https://t.co/u3n6piNtLZ

In 1982 the nationalization of the French banking system required legislation only for domestic companies - So national were European banking systems at the time. Great point from @Tam_Bayoumi Unfinished Business. https://t.co/C7xpGiQRb3

I do not think any important thinker in social sciences is entirely "new" in the sense that he has "invented" things that nobody else ever thought about. Not even Plato & Aristotle. But the importance comes from recombinations, reemphases, and on the margins, new ideas.

‘Bipolar currency world’, ‘Beijing challenging dollar’s status’ etc. It’s a well trodden road that’s still leading nowhere very much. Red Flags will tell you why

My book Unfinished Business is now out in paperback. Read about the origins of the 2008 financial crisis. In particular, how Northern European mega banks helped stoke financial bubbles in the US/EA periphery, resulting in a crisis that engulfed the entire North Atlantic.

Good to see the great @GrahamTAllison engage with The Virtual Weapon. We disagree on some points (I think cyberspace is more revolutionary than nukes) but agree on other essentials. @YaleBooks @OxfordCTGA https://t.co/8MjGWWzRfX
