Rubios Rede ist als Formulierung eines Programms der wahrscheinlich sehr viel erhellendere Moment als Vance in München oder Trump in Davos: Wer erkennt ein freiheitsfeindliches Programm, wenn es so verkauft wird, wer lehnt es dann noch ab - und wer nicht? Das wird eine Wegscheide.

Trump's Dollar | Steffen Murau
Calls to weaken the dollar have become a feature of Trump's second term. But in today's credit-based system, where the US currency is often created offshore, nativist politics cannot be translated int...
“Those who want to translate their nativist politics into monetary precepts have failed to reckon with the credit-based, offshore, nature of money today.”

I'm don't think we should get too excited about this. Eurodollar structure is dollar assets funded by dollar liabilities. If Europe moves to dump dollar assets it's left with ... large dollar liabilities. Not a great position to be in, particularly if access to dollar swap lines is questionable.

Sie können Expertise bündeln, flexibel agieren und den finanziellen Spielraum erweitern, vorausgesetzt, ihre Konstruktion ist transparent, legitimiert und solide fundiert.

Was heißt das für die Politik? Wenn wir auf Herausforderungen wie Klimakrise, geopolitische Spannungen und technologische Transformation reagieren wollen, sollten bilanzexterne Fiskalagenturen wieder stärker in Betracht gezogen werden.

Zurück zur Geoökonomie:Auch heute könnten solche Einrichtungen genutzt werden, um zusätzlichen finanzpolitischen Spielraum zu gewinnen, entweder als öffentlich-rechtliche Entität oder als Konstruktion zwischen Markt und Staat. Jede Variante hat Vor- & Nachteile & müsste politisch legitimiert werden.

Dafür muss man den Staat als fiskalisches Ökosystem verstehen, bestehend aus Kernhaushalt und bilanzexternen Fiskalagenturen. Er ist dabei keine einzelne Institution, sondern ein komplexes, historisch gewachsenes Gebilde.

🌍 Viele Staaten stehen heute vor großen geoökonomischen Herausforderungen, von resilienter Energieinfrastruktur bis zur Handelspolitik. Historisch wurden hierfür immer wieder bilanzexterne Fiskalagenturen geschaffen, für dringend benötigten finanziellen Spielraum.

Der US-Dollar verliert an Dominanz. Schlägt die Stunde des Euro?
Unser Report zeigt: Eine stärkere Euro-Internationalisierung bringt nur kleine Nettoeffekte für's BIP. Globarer Euro ist nicht automatisch ein Vorteil.

Brad of course agrees
Important point as German industrial production drops to 2005 levels.
I can think of no better way for the German government to spend money than a few billion on EV demand subsidies
Beats all the other spending outlays I’ve seen hands down - it’s Germanys key industry u know

It is a pretty dire indictment on the quality of German policy-making if we blast billions on stay-at-home subsidies and gastronomy tax cuts.
And do nothing for our most important industry bringing in 90bn in tax receipts, other than killing the ICE phaseout cuz we want to stay in the 20th century

Chartbook 409 Beyond the "Marshall Plan": China's solar boom as world-changing industrial policy.
In the first six months of 2025 China installed more than 250GW of solar power capacity.
"China is the only large country driving the energy transition at anything close to the necessary speed and scale."
It's also the only one whose energy transition is not hamstrung by reliance on the motive force of renewables profitability.
Coincidence?
I think not.

Not sure that some in Germany understood that more issuance of their own would imply more market discipline on France.
Not sure some in France fully realised that Germany's big fiscal experiment also has sharp downsides for them.

CBI is legitimised by 2 arguments. Progressives should defend 1 and keep fighting against 2.
1. Classic separations of powers. The king should not held the purse directly
2. The inflation nutter credibility argument (k&p77,b&g82,rogoff85) whereby the cb plays a discipline role against labor demands

None of this is to say the US tariffs won’t hurt European exports — they will. Europe had legit cause to retaliate now.
But I doubt a militarily more independent future Europe has the will, impetus and import-competition concern to reopen a broad trade war on the US.

The whole China green manufacturing thing is understood - I think? - as a key factor in the energy complex, geopolitics, and climate. People have heard of the Pakistan story; where a quarter of electricity is now solar compared to >10% in 2023.
But, like: things keep happening!
