Looking for a “fair” international monetary system
President Trump’s Chief Economic Adviser, Stephen Miran, has claimed that the international monetary system in which the US provides the rest of the world with a safe, liquid asset is “unfair” as it supposedly prevents the US from eliminating its current account deficit. His proposed solution is to lower the value of the dollar through coordinated currency market intervention by foreign central banks. This column finds the idea that there could be lasting reversal of exchange rates following an international currency agreement highly speculative, and argues that a multipolar system would attenuate the Triffin dilemma and provide the US with a deficit-adjustment tool.

Implicit Feudalism — Rushkoff Archive
Too many of us think it doesn’t matter when a platform like X/Twitter has a single, all-powerful owner. Most of our online worlds are simply run by what we hope are benevolent dictators. After all, we figure, if we don’t like what they’re doing or allowing, we can just leave, right? But in most cases we’re just jumping from one rich dude’s idea for how the world should be to another rich dude’s idea for how the world should be.

Does Monetary Policy Tightening Reduce Inflation?
Recent research has identified periods when the Federal Reserve intentionally acted to slow inflation when it exceeded desired levels. The success of these disinflation attempts reveals the extent of policymakers’ commitment to lowering inflation. An extension of this analysis indicates that successful disinflations are associated with a decline in the demand-driven component of inflation. This was especially evident during recent monetary policy tightening, with contributions to core inflation from demand declining 2 percentage points since the summer of 2022—the largest decline for any deliberate disinflation attempt since 1969.
