1. Hello. Today, the federal antitrust agencies have issued a new rulebook for corporate mergers - likely ending decades of unchecked corporate deals that let monopoly power grow. This is a monumental day. Let’s unpack our new rulebook, and what it means for the economy.

The biggest problem with active funds? User error: The good ones work long, but their holders think short. To solve this, the industry forces managers to closet track their market: This prevents short-term performance pain, but kills long-term returns. What's the answer?

"One strange feature of Anglo-Saxon economics is that all economists are agreed that rent-seeking is bad, and yet no economist ever proposes any action to discourage it." Spot on as usual by @rorysutherland

reminded me of this quote "To endure is greater than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted by no difficulty; to keep heart when all have lost it; to go through intrigue spotless; and to forgo even ambition when the end is gained — who can say this is not greatness?

One of the best things you can do for success, happiness and career is stop thinking about companies - and their actions and motivations - as if they were people, and understand how they really work, and why. This opens a world unknown to many. You need to want to understand it.

A good way to go about this - which helps achieve the same result - is systems thinking. Eg via the book “Thinking in Systems: a primer” Companies are systems, governments are systems, ran by people - for the most part - acting rationally and predictably.
