Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Washington PECO this year will have *both* the 2024 Nobel Laureate @dacemoglumit.bsky.social and the 2025 Clark Medal @s-stantcheva.bsky.social. When I say it’s the best political economy conference around, I’m not being presumptuous — just stating facts… 😉

The world's top network of labor economists—@iza.org—will close permanently at the end of this year.

What a loss to research. Especially now when the rising waters of disinformation choke truth.

It is up to us, now, to begin the work to rebuild.
