The bigger question: what kind of order does the U.S. lead today? And what role can Europe play?

But Xi’s speech raised themes the U.S. no longer champions: multilateralism, green transition, collaborative technological development.

Arrighi wrote in 2007 that China might lead the world system for the first time in the capitalist era. I dispute this — China isn’t there yet.

Is China really challenging U.S. world leadership? Short answer: not yet. Finance, military, culture — the U.S. is still far ahead.

If you want further proof that American journalism is dead, the Hollywood Reporter showed more moral clarity in their coverage of Elon Musk’s Nazi salute than the Washington Post, NY Times, LA Times, WSJ, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS or NBC. Cowards all.

LEDARE: Vi måste våga mer demokrati Jag sitter på ett stillastående tåg när jag läser nyheten om att sociologen Walter Korpi gått ur tiden.

R.I.P. Walter Korpi. A great scientist with significant influence on welfare state research in the Nordics and the world. Rightly in my view, he thought that it is the choice to abandon full employment as a goal that feeds the rise of the far right.

Made a starter pack for European Politics. Started with 27 profiles (wink wink) on a bit of everything, but feel free to (self-)recommend people to add.

A dirty secret about Nordic social democracy, is that while it redistributed income, it never really touched the wealth distribution
