🧵(1/2) Planet Money is stepping away from Twitter. There are a few reasons why: [npr.org/2023/04/12/116…] We’ll still be reporting and dropping episodes. Feel free to keep up with us in a few different places…

I was delighted beyond words to talk about Buckminster Fuller, prefab housing, and the Dymaxion House yesterday on @planetmoney. (Another 29 times or so and I'll catch up to @VelocityWong.) npr.org/2023/04/21/117…

If you have 20 minutes. A planet money episode. As much about Larry and me than about the official topic, r*. But a good job of explaining what is at stake, and good fun to participate. Truth: Larry and I largely agree: r*>r* precovid, but likely r*<g. shorturl.at/xJNUX

When you get the chance to talk to one of the world’s leading economists, @ojblanchard1, about the future of interest rates and the economy, you might as well get some personal advice while you’re at it. npr.org/2023/04/14/117…

Are high interest rates here to stay? One of the biggest disagreements in economics is about this question — and it pits two friends, @LHSummers and @ojblanchard1, against each other. npr.org/2023/04/14/117…

I did wake up dying to be asked what the real story of how the FDIC deposit insurance cap was raised to $250K. Thank you @NPR @planetmoney for asking. Now the world knows. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pla…

One big question out of the March (banking) Madness is: where were the regulators? @Wharton's @PeterContiBrown explains that government supervisors often work side-by-side with bank employees. But what they do on a day-to-day basis... is under wraps: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pla…

Women now publish >50% of books and sell more books than men. Reasons: book demand driven by women, pub industry dominated by women, writing is a solo effort, lacks office politics & hierarchies, and is low-paid for most authors. @elliswonk npr.org/sections/money…

As a real estate boom and climate change reshape the island’s coastline, Puerto Rico is grappling with a complex legal question: what is a beach? In yesterday’s episode, @AlanaLlama, host of the podcast La Brega, explains.  podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pla…
