Few people are at the forefront of AI development as well as thinking about its economic and social implications. Mustafa Suleyman is one of those rare individuals, so I am particularly grateful for this blazing endorsement. Makes writing the book feel worthwhile already. Thank

Whether you're on the political left or right, we've all become stakeholder capitalists now. (Whether stakeholders' goals are nobler than shareholders', you can decide for yourself). Interesting piece on geoeconomics by Gillian Tett.

If World War II America teaches us anything, it is that it's possible to ramp up production at extraordinary speed when disaster strikes. The United States was never historically dominant in shipbuilding—nor did it need to be. The notion that industrial policy must permanently

🧵Now available! My paper with Ashruta Acharya and Alek Psrurek on the most generous engagement with the most influential "model" of degrowth. TLDR: It doesnt hold empirically. It predicts the opposite.
