[Sebastian Mallaby @scmallaby]

This week on @CFR_org's The Spillover podcast, I sat down with @martinwolf_ , chief economics commentator @FT and someone who has helped me to make sense of crises and conundrums going back to the 1990s. Audaciously, perhaps preposterously, we addressed two topics simultaneously: the arc of Martin's thinking about politics and economics; and the larger intellectual history of the United States as we celebrate its 250th birthday.

The American Republic was and remains the world's grandest experiment in fusing a free market with a free people. Today, a lot of Martin’s work is devoted to the proposition that this fusion is coming apart at the seams. As Martin puts it in his recent book, The Crisis of Democratic Capitalism, "democratic politics are national, while market economics are global; and democratic politics are based on the egalitarian idea of one person, one vote, while market economics is founded on the inegalitarian idea that successful competitors reap the rewards."

I put it to Martin that the creation of the Republic was an exercise in optimism, whereas he, in many ways an American thinker, is a self-described pessimist. I invited Martin to reflect on America's aspiration to pluralistic tolerance domestically, which may perhaps be in tension with its intolerance of alternative political systems abroad. We ended with Martin's concern that "without decent and competent elites, democracy will perish." I found in this an echo of Benjamin Franklin's quip at the closing of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787.  “What have we got—a republic or a monarchy?" Franklin was asked. His famous response: "A republic, if you can keep it."

Fun conversation with the excellent @gideonrachman of @FT on the AI backlash —the fastest shift in measured sentiment in recent times. And now the pope has weighed in! https://t.co/exMkpYgueI

President of the British Chamber of Commerce and former Chief Economist at the Bank of England, Andy Haldane, has told ITV News' @ITVJoel that the pick-up in inflation will be 'manageable'.

He said the energy price shock 'calls for lower interest rates, not higher ones'.

Andy Haldane nails it - these welfare reforms will do nothing to increase work. It's not tough love: just tough luck, made tougher.

IDS was at least able to point to falling welfare claims. This time around, DWP predictions point to a calamitous surge...

Wspólnie z marszałkiem Krzysztofem Bosakiem uczestniczymy w Budapest Global Dialogue. Przed nami wiele interesujących wystąpień i spotkań.

Jedno z najciekawszych już za nami: Liz Truss, John Mearsheimer, Sanjeev Sanyal, Eric X. Li oraz Gladden Pappin. Debata na najwyższym poziomie, prezentująca perspektywy zarówno świata anglosaskiego, jak i Globalnego Południa.

Aby lepiej rozumieć dynamiczne zmiany we współczesnym świecie, trzeba słuchać właśnie takich dyskusji.

@Lord_Sugar Remember him well from my short stint as a candidate on the same show. What a character! RIP.
