Takatoshi Ito, who passed away in September 2025, was a leading scholar of macroeconomics and international finance. This column, written by a group of friends and colleagues, outlines his many contributions in a lifetime of research, teaching, and policymaking in Japan, the US, and around the world. His work is particularly notable for challenging the widespread perception that standard economic analysis is somehow ill-suited for understanding the Japanese economy. Indeed, using the discipline’s rigorous tools, he illuminated challenges that Japan faced earlier and more acutely than other countries – including population decline and ageing, ballooning government debt, the zero lower bound and unconventional monetary policies, real estate bubbles and their collapse, and the banking sector’s problem of non-performing loans.
K Aoki, A Auerbach, C Yuji Horioka, A Kashyap, T Watanabe, & D Weinstein discuss the legacy of Takatoshi Ito. His work is notable for challenging the perception that standard economic analysis is somehow ill-suited for understanding the Japanese economy.

The Washington Consensus is now largely discredited. Researchers including Tim Besley, @helene-rey.bsky.social, @drodrik.bsky.social and others have published a book on what economists have learned since then. (Although I’d have given it a different title)

Fascinating data. There are three things here that really matter to people, and they think matter to everyone:
Healthcare
Economy
Prices
There is ONE thing that they assume matters to everyone, because it dominates so much of the narrative, but it is NOT affecting them personally:
Immigration

And this applies to cryptos as well…

In his zeal to make the US the “crypto capital of the world,” Donald Trump is setting the stage for financial and monetary chaos – and, potentially, the loss of America’s “exorbitant privilege.” Read more in a PS Big Picture, with @helene-rey.bsky.social, Yanis Varoufakis, and others. bit.ly/4ouKImi

The plunder of our seas by industrial fishing is a monstrosity in which almost everyone unwittingly collaborates. For decades this truth has been deliberately hidden from us. Now at last the consensus is cracking.
This week's column.

Very good to see that they wish to focus on early career researchers. Much more mobile and thus likely to be willing to brave UK conditions and we desperately need to invest in new posts for the rising generation of researchers in light of the current UK university crisis.

Jeremy Bowen's long, measured, objective, but ultimately entirely clear and conclusive essay on Israeli war crimes. As Jonathan Sumption puts it:
"These things make genocide the most plausible explanation for what is now happening."

Sir, Any country pushing for growth must invest in its strengths, and Britain is no different. The UK is a global scientific powerhouse but investment in it lags behind that of our competitors. The government is facing a difficult spending review but that is exactly when a clear vision is necessary. Investment in research and innovation is investment in improved productivity, future growth and improved lives. From the development of life-saving vaccines to world-leading research in Al, clean energy and quantum technologies, this country continues to push the frontiers of global discovery and innovation. If we want UK and overseas businesses to continue to back the UK, and for our research institutions to attract and retain the best talent, the government must send a strong signal about increased long-term funding for the people and ideas that will continue to shape the world.
