@ivan_8848 We are in a multi-polar world, where the EU is a junior pole. Sanctions on Russia cut both ways. EU citizens have less choice of fresh fish at best prices, and Russians can't sell their fish to the EU. The EU leaders are blowing bricks.

@kajakallas @paulmasonnews Russia has been in a war economy since 1945. Sanctions on Russia are not one way they impact output in Russia and the EU.

@ZackPolanski Unlike China, the cost of money in the UK and the West is rising because future income to pay down debt looks problematic. Polanski can not ignore the "Liz Bond Event," but at least he is on the right subject.

@LukeGromen AI is a substitute for labor in the economy, but it can also be used to create a new economy for unlocked labor.

@ProfessorWerner The issue for President Putine: What is the trade with the West that makes sense other than perpetual war. 40% of expenditure is allocated to war, of the 60% left for consumption, half is spent in Moscow and St P, That has been about the functioning since 1945?

@steve_hanke So what would be the best outcome for President Putin

@LukeGromen Equity investing in the z West will not solve the puzzle, sovereignty, and prosperity.

@haugejostein That was 1968 in France and the end of Charles de Gaulle

@ianbremmer Whatever the miscalculation, the consequences of a closed Straight of Hormuz are dire for the global economy. Short of NATO war with Russia, the resolution of the Ukraine conflict is significant but not dire.

@PikettyWIL Return r is greater than growth g in the West because r includes a big share of monoply rent, the source of inequality.. Policies to reduce rent rather than fiscal transfers have been successful. In China.

@Glenn_Diesen Looks like a rerun of the events starting WWI

@ZackPolanski The FT just floats along as if everything is a casino and their readers always win because they own the casino.

@GlobalNewsHQI Everyone can benefit from a more constructive approach to Iran, sanctions and bombs are dead end strategies

@haugejostein Central planning in China does not apparently mean a manager of a business has a job because he is an acolyte of the system

[Robert Willmington @rt_willmington]

@ricwe123 Europe is at the best flat lining. The EU-US was a driver of higher prosperity until 2008. Since then, the EU-US model has stopped working, but the political class has never considered the opportunity roadmap of E-W and N-S. However, China has.

@RichardJMurphy Unless the UK administration and business come to a vision for the future and a plan, the place for graduate career development looks weak.

@LukeGromen @BaldingsWorld @InvestInOnG Someone should write a book and how the economy works better year on year in China than in the West
