✈️ Economy, Innovation, and the Ripple Effect French aviation thrives despite tariffs, Ford bleeds billions on EVs, and chipmakers dance between subsidies and sanctions. These stories remind us: tariffs don’t just tweak prices — they redraw entire supply chains. Schumpeter’s

🍟Tariffs, chips, AI, public media, even art fights — they’re not separate stories. They’re about who controls attention, information & innovation. Democracy depends on treating these as public goods, not market byproducts. open.substack.com/pub/openaccess…

The Contemporary Reordering: How Climate, Culture, and Capital Are Reshaping Our World open.substack.com/pub/openaccess…

🌍 Climate shocks, tariff wars & tech races aren’t separate stories — they’re threads of one fabric. Each disruption reshapes who adapts, who loses & who profits. Without redistribution & resilience, volatility widens inequality. Empire adapts. The question: will we?

✈️ Diplomatic Stages and Arctic Peripheries The Trump–Putin summit in Anchorage illustrates how venue becomes message. Meeting in an airport lounge rather than a grand hall signals both the fragility of existing institutions and the improvisational turn of great-power politics.

🛩️From Arctic summits in airport lounges to festivals canceled by fear, from “cleanup” politics to crypto regulation—our world runs on spectacle, sovereignty, and platforms. The question isn’t if rules exist, but who scripts them—and for whose benefit. open.substack.com/pub/openaccess…

🧩 Social Life Under Strain — and Renewal Everyday Adaptations From Helsinki’s “doggy routes” to Mexico City’s botanical perfumes, urban spaces are being re-engineered to reintroduce belonging and care into daily life. These initiatives echo Yi-Fu Tuan’s reminder: place is

🌍 Atlas of Late-Liberal Tensions 🎭 The Performance of Order From Trump-era diplomacy shaped by golf-course friendships to Dubai’s app-enabled “golden age of snitching,” power today often works less through institutions and more through personal performance. What Michel

🌍 Late-liberal paradox: order is now performed (Trump’s golf diplomacy, Dubai’s “snitch apps”), currencies invert class divides (Argentines abroad, exclusion at home), and AI promises collide with precarity. A world improvising through spectacle, inequality & code.

🗺️ Cartographies of Power The African Union’s “Correct The Map” campaign is more than a symbolic gesture. By challenging Mercator’s Eurocentric distortions, it asserts that representation is inseparable from dignity. Maps encode hierarchies — and re-drawing them can begin to

🗺️💱📱🤖 From Africa’s push to redraw the world map to Argentina’s inverted tourism flows, Dubai’s app-based panopticon, and AI’s bubble-sublime paradox — today’s headlines show how symbols, money, order, and tech are reshaping power and everyday life. open.substack.com/pub/openaccess…

🌍 Fragments of a World in Flux 🎨 The Aesthetics of Crisis: When Markets Reshape Meaning The rise of “red-chip” artists signals more than a fad. It reflects how attention, virality, and liquidity are eclipsing older systems of curation and institutional authority. What looks

🌍 From art markets to AI, climate to cartography, today’s dispatches show a world in flux. Culture becomes attention, politics becomes theatre, finance becomes algorithmic, cities become stage-sets. Gramsci was right: the old is dying, the new not yet born.
