Coming soon! I am so excited about this piece, which recently got accepted for publication in Space Policy!

Just picked up this book on a recent trip, and Tony Zee is killing it again. Only 30 pages in— but I am going to recommend it anyway!

Isao Takahata is so brutally straightforward--you are guaranteed to cry bucketloads after seeing this movie.

I see--need to read the 7000-word version, then. Thanks.

Q: what is the indicator that leads you to suspect that some are gaming the system here? That # of non-UK > # of UK? (If that is the case, what should one think of Imperial College?)

Interested in how authoritarian leaders use banks within their inherited neoliberal polity on the global semi-periphery?

To get clues what might Trump be tempted to do with the FED and the banks?
