"My dear grandmother was a geologist and it would have given her great joy to hear her grandson digging into rare earth minerals finding out what they do and why they matter. But for everyone else it's a drag the trade war equivalent of learning about the latest covid variant"

"There's a decent chance that the Supremes will strike down Trumps extra special brand new XXX% China tariff as unconstitutional. And so it's doubly notable how much markets panicked despite the (roughly) XX% chance it wont happen"

""The U.S. is two economies. There's an enormous AI boom going on huge investments particularly in data centers. If you took that out of the numbers and you just looked at the non-AI parts of the economy it's basically flatlining. We're on the cusp of a non-AI recession." -- Me channeling @NatashaRSarin and @JasonFurman"

"I was just in Australia giving the Boyer Lecture. It's an economist's love letter to his home country. It's also relevant to the current American moment as the main point is to link institutions with prosperity. Watch it here:"

"Thinking about this from a U.S. perspective: If our neighbors have been ripping us off as Trump insists then not trading with them must be good for the US. But when you actually spend a moment thinking about it it sounds like an utterly absurd economic strategy 🤔"

"The United States is no longer negotiating with Canada because its Republican President does not understand his predecessor's view of tariffs. Forget the clip that worries the President. Reagan was consistent and here's a different speech where he made his case"

"Rule of Law Alert: Trumps authority for country-specific tariffs comes from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act which doesnt mention tariffsbut does require a national emergency. An ad showing Reagan was opposed to tariffs surely is not a national emergency"

"A careful study of every populist episode since 1900 finds catastrophic consequences which play out slowly. On average incomes fall behind by nearly XX% over XX years. For the U.S. this is a cost of about $13k per person per year. Over a lifetime that's million bucks"

"This is sort of a thing and I'm kind of proud of myself. The thing: I'm giving the keynote Boyer Lecture this year. Won't mean much to non-Aussies but it's the leading annual "public intellectual" lecture series in my native Australia and it means a lot to me"

"Critical part of the President's new $100000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100000 discount to any person company or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas You know who to call and who to flatter"

"There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI. X. Ive barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks. X. Ive invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow its transformational. Position #1 has lower barriers to entry"

"This country is allowed to have tariffs. You just have to convince Congress that they're a good idea. The President can hold tariff powers instead of Congress if you can convince voters to amend the Constitution. If you can't convince anyone of anything rethink your ideas"

""Mate I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what Ronald Reagan was against tariffs.""

"Calling bubbles in real time is like trying to spot the top of Mount Everest while youre still climbing. You only realize it was the peak when you start going downhill. Its possible AI is in a bubble. Its also possible we're on the cusp of a genuine technological revolution. Anyone who expresses certainty. shouldn't"
