I've been in France since 2002 and have never seen the streets so violent nor the politics so extreme. From the sacking of the supermarket on my street to the prospect of Présidente Le Pen, here's me @FT including thoughts from 2 French Nobel laureates as.ft.com/r/addcad57-0f9d-4e…

I'm thrilled to be launching Econvitals today. It's been the main way in which I have been tracking and understanding the economy over the last several months. And I decided I might as well share it with all of you--for free.
Has a combo of website, email lists & social media.

Another crazy story from Venezuela by @kejalvyas
"Politically motivated jailings and the seizure of private businesses—live on under Maduro’s successor, Delcy Rodríguez, and the U.S. government apparatus that controls much of the interim leadership now."

Volvió CADIVI y su corrupción.
En 9 meses de 2026 se fugaron casi 2 mil millones de dólares en diferencial cambiario que se le regala a amigos, familia y a quien Delcy quiera comprar.
Esta vez los bancos tienen margen para decidir a quién regalarle el dinero (y el rabo de paja). Y así Delcy esta logrando meter a la élite financiera en su barco.
Estar con Delcy es recibir permiso de saquear al país.
La unificación cambiaria acabaría con esto, y debe suceder inmediatamente.

You could teach a whole semester class just refuting all of his clownish claims about economics. But, surely, one day, he's going to realize that the only way for France to preserve its welfare state is for its for GDP to grow. Just hope that the French electorate doesn't put him in charge between now and then.
