- Replying to @annakatherines_What made US manufacturing jobs attractive was not something intrinsic in the repetitive and often tedious tasks, but that unions fought for high wages and benefits. The breaking of unions with the government's help undermines the appeal.
- Replying to @Gerashchenko_enIn my work, I draw parallels between the NATO driving east and China moving into the underbelly of the old USSR. Putin's invasion of Ukraine has turned Russia into a client state beyond what Beijing could not dream of 16 months ago.
- Replying to @vtchakarovaCome on, it is not the initial reaction. It comes after being rebuffed on numerous issue by the US. The wolf is scary for sure, but the shepherd wants to eat us too.
- Replying to @davidpgoldmanCountries that recognize Palestine. Seems question is not why Spain did but why only a handful of countries have not. Does one really need to go back centuries for compelling explanation?
- Check it out. My new book: Political Economy of Tomorrow Now available on Amazon: amazon.com/dp/0692824294/… Don't wait for the movie.
- Replying to @TheStalwartFrom Japanese side, they rejected linking security and trade issues, and rejected proposal of swapping its bond holdings for 100yr bonds.
- Replying to @QuiverQuantRegardless of the precise mechanism, unless it is a blind trust for which there is no communication, this kind of bipartisan corruptness that extends to the judiciary, undermines the US brand. The real threat to America comes from abdication not encroachment.
- Replying to @LHSummers and @DNCDon't you think this is at least partly the result of neo-liberals such as yourself who oversaw the continued widening of the income and wealth disparities the failure of the elites in the Democratic Party to propose a compelling alternative?
- In my career, I have rarely been bullish gold, but the breakout last week and my reading of the macroeconomic and geopolitical situation have turned me positive toward. Spoiler alert. It is not due to inflation expectations. #GOLD marctomarket.com/2019/06/greenb…
- I am happy to announce I will be joining Bannockburn Global Forex, a boutique foreign exchange firm as a managing partner and chief market strategist. Anticipate continuing to share my commentary broadly, while working on bespoken projects.
- Replying to @TheStalwartWhat strikes me is that rebuilding the human and capital infrastructure of the world's largest economy after years of neglect and at extremely low interest rates has become associated with left politics. It shows how far the political spectrum has shifted in America.
