Noah Smith in July 2025: Milei's economic policies are working surprisingly well

WSJ in September 2025: "The economy is contracting. Tens of thousands of jobs lost during Milei’s tough austerity drive have yet to come back."

“Rather than take on bankers, the IMF, or even cryptocurrency policy in Argentina, it appears as though Milei has decided to double down on debt and keep the central bank fully operational.

It turns out no one is a libertarian during a financial crisis.”

Yall should read this article.

I argued with this guy before on this point.

It kind of defies logic of everyone’s statements on this and the effects we are seeing. How is the BIS finding stablecoins inflows to treasuries is counteracting status quo if not it being a new untapped source that wasn’t presently there?

It’s a newer version of what Michael Hudson described here:

U.S. right wing populism used the tragedy of neoliberal globalization, financialization, and deindustrialization and neocon wars to bait people into a sleight of hand where the true goal was to divert more money to those same neoliberal oligarchs and neocon defense contractors.

JKG predicting the rise of the tech right

"these public banks guard against oligopoly...produce more competition...[and] prevent “too big to fail” scenarios"

This was a great review and have been enjoying the rest of your blog.

Sparkassen-Landesbanken remain “the most important financial partner within the German banking industry, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises.”

Why Does the US Want to Take Over German Banking? US-dominated global neoliberalism against indigenous political economy

Latest Essay:

The US JPMorgan Chase plans to launch in Germany. This puts it in direct conflict with Germany’s Sparkassen-Landesbanken.

This represents another instance of US-dominated global neoliberalism against indigenous political economy.

“Americans saying they want to leave the US jumped from 10% in 2011 to a record 21% by last year…most Europeans live better than most Americans. There’s one big exception: the mega-rich…That leaves about 99% of the population for whom emigrating to Europe would be a life win.” - FT

America's uber-neoliberal economic model only truly positively diverges for the top 1% compared to Europe.

The American top 1% earns almost double the income share as the European top 1%s. Ordinary Americans don't see these gains yet face more unaffordability than Europeans.

"American GDP per capita growth was 48 percent more than American median income growth. In contrast, Austria’s was 3 percent more, Germany’s was 3 percent more, Denmark’s was 17 percent more, France’s was 9 percent less, and Italy’s was 2 percent more."

Latest essay: "American vs. European GDP Per Capita"

I examined nuances in GDP per capita and related metrics to challenge Sam Bowman's soft polemic that Europeans have much worse economic well-being than Americans. At another angle, it's inverted.

Numerous media sites reporting that Tesla is axing most of its menu.

Protos, a week ago: While Tesla fanboys continue to post four and five-star reviews on Google, and excited YouTubers upload video after video raving about the car company's much-talked-about new diner, something odd appears to have happened with its menu. Namely, most of the items that were originally on there have vanished.

Protos is reporting Tesla news a week before anyone else.
