@__paleologo 100%, esp petty office politics !!!

Yes. A more positive spin is that finance is perfectible repetition. If there are dramas, and there are, they are experienced quietly. But by and large, they are made of basic human stuff. Someone needs to write an empathetic bottle episode about a portfolio manager defeated by a long drawdown. Or the pricing subsystem failing. Or getting the earnings right and still losing money. Or losing an analyst. Or seeing an analyst bloom. Or the personal tragedies (people die) that can’t be shared at work. Or the petty office politics. Instead, we get a sadomaso prosecutor, or a nonbinary impact investor. So dumb. Who writes these things anyway?

@sindap “They just haven’t learned how to act" keeps coming up across class, genre, industry. cohorts missed an important chapter!!

On the market for tariff refunds from @mdc @planetmoney : “Companies have been selling the refund they would get (in whole or in part) IF it turned out the tariffs were illegal AND refunds become a thing. It’s still not totally clear what will happen for the second half of that, but we’ve now cleared the hurdle for the first half…” offtherun.substack.com/p/on-the-marke…

Some the first things I ever learned about the economy I learned from @planetmoney. So it was a pleasure to contribute to this episode examining three pivotal moments for the Iranian economy over the last 50 years. @mdc & co told this story with a lot of care. Link in reply.

@JHWeissmann @ppi congrats!! really exciting.

Little personal update: I’m making the jump from journo to think tanker. This week I started as the editorial director at @ppi, where I’ll be helping a fantastic group of experts shape their arguments and research. But I’ll still be on here tweeting in my personal capacity.

An honor and a privilege thank you gentlemen

Had fun researching this piece, which cites Keynes & Marx but also folks of much more recent vintage, including the economists @philliptrammell, @BrianCAlbrecht, @Alexolegimas; plus @dwarkesh_sp, @sebkrier, @boazaraktcs & @geoffreyhinton

What are some examples of sober non-religious cultures that provide opportunities for disconnected individuals to build trust and form relationships?
