@ChorzempaMartin @PIIE @AdamPosen Congrats Martin!!

Excited to share (belatedly) that I am now the Dennis Weatherstone Senior Fellow @PIIE! So thankful to @AdamPosen for his mentorship and support, to great colleagues, and energized for a 2026 full of writing and speaking on the economics of AI, digital currency, and China.

@EmperorKev 🙌

@noah_gordon_ 😂 😂 Never looked better

It's a pleasure to write for Lawfare, but this is really not a good picture of me!

@COdendahl Congratulations Christian! 😊

How does this work again? I am a bit out of practice.

@adam_tooze Worm grunting seems like straight out of Dune!

Sweden's inequality surge, the drama of China's demographic transition, all-American "worm grunting" & Gadamer's bitter retirement the latest Top Links by Chartbook Newsletter just dropped. Check it out and sign up: open.substack.com/pub/adamtooze/…

@jeuasommenulle @CNBCJou However important to note that the current 1/20th debt rule is very stringent but has never been enforced

@jeuasommenulle @CNBCJou This is a great paper evaluating the proposal: bruegel.org/working-paper/…

From Citi Research today: Lagarde complained about lack of agreement on new fiscal rules, which may force the ECB to do more. Hmmm is prescribing even more fiscal tightening into a recession really the correct way?

@melovely_max @AGelpern So good! 😊

Stories about SVB failure too boring? Try this post by ⁦@AGelpern⁩, if only for the incredible plays with language and history. yalejreg.com/nc/silicon-rhy…

@paolatamma @AlexBrecx Try Maison Barat in St Job 😋

@AlexBrecx If you find a decent kouign amann in Brussels please let me know. Or maybe don’t, on second thoughts.

How come Belgium is incapable of good viennoiserie when it borders the home of croissants, pains au choc, kouign-amann? (On the train back from Paris, I had all three this am. Massive sugar high but not regretting it.)

@SophiaBesch 🎉🎉👏

Happy Thanksgiving! ☺️🇺🇸

@ChorzempaMartin Congrats Martin!

Pub Day! Eight years of work distilled into one book you'll love if you're into the future of money, finance, tech, China, and more. Read this thread for a sense of what's inside and why it matters for the US and world. publicaffairsbooks.com/titles/martin-…

@fwred More tailor-made, less Taylor-rule-like please 😅

🇪🇺European Commission said to consider major changes to fiscal rules. Anything more realistic, less pro-cyclical, more Taylor-made and longer-term oriented would be a huge progress.

Only in NYC 🤣 (via beautifulsoulsinnyc/IG)

@gregclaeys @StavrosZenios Conditionality is not being in an Excessive Deficit Procedure, which has never been opened for a breach of the debt criterion

@StavrosZenios The debt rule is not really being below 60% anymore it’s more like being below 60% OR going towards it in the long run 😉

Euro-area debts can now finally be fully considered as “conditional safe assets”with an ECB backstop. The condition being compliance with the EU fiscal and macro framework. Now that these frameworks are explicitly crucial they will need to be reformed to eliminate their flaws.

🚨🚨 New paper alert! 🚨🚨 This is a survey chapter on Sovereign Debt with Leo Martinez, @francisco_roch, and @jzettelmeyer. We have one question in mind: what makes debt safe in some cases and risky in others? imf.org/en/Publication…

@gideo607 Oatly? 😂

@terzibus @martinwolf_ @FT @Harvard_Press @HarvardUPLondon Congrats, well deserved!

I always said ‘Growth for Good’ was a perfect beach read… but I never thought @martinwolf_ at @FT would think so to! Still can’t believe I’m on this list in the company of such great economists and thinkers

@gideo607 🙏

@ChorzempaMartin @public_affairs Congrats!! I've been looking out for this 👀😊

Almost can't believe I've turned in the final corrected proofs for my book on fintech and digital currency in China, coming to bookshelves this October with @public_affairs! 📚Took nearly a decade from idea to finish but I'm about to become a published author!!!
