@MarkTKanter @jerrysaltz I think I understand that now. I needed the change of setting to see it.

@PaulCockburn19 @Sharon_Kuruvila yeah. Lets just say it took me unawares and then **** happened. Im working on my answer. Shutdown contains elements of a reply. More to follow.
@LeusderListicle @Sharon_Kuruvila @GeoffPMann PS was dipping back into Merleau-Ponty this morning and was reminded of the impression left by MP-Sartre-Aron. Aron, in particular, being a keen reader of both Keynes and Clausewitz 😉
@LeusderListicle @Sharon_Kuruvila @GeoffPMann Thanks for asking, btw. Hope it is useful in some way.
@LeusderListicle @Sharon_Kuruvila Yup. About right. Work in progress obviously, almost by definition. But @GeoffPMann book really did resonate with me, also in its self-reflexivity.
@Sharon_Kuruvila @johnshreffler0 Thank you so much for directing me back to this. Wow. There is a lot there isnt there …:) Also quite a lot of material with which to provide an answer to Anderson. More soon.
@Sharon_Kuruvila @johnshreffler0 Oh yes. Now I remember. Thank you! Gotta go back to that piece and reread.
@johnshreffler0 I suspect I may have written it. I certainly agree with it. Perhaps @Sharon_Kuruvila can remind us. 😉
@Sharon_Kuruvila Hi Sharon folks are asking where this passage is from. I cant remember! 🙂 can you remind me.

NEVER in a million years did I think I would be writing this, but it’s true. The saccharine Fragonard in their temporary brutalist home in the former Whitney museum are completely stunning.

@wupton @nikitharai_ @dmarusic @davidfrum I think the surprise is mainly mine. And I remain surprised that this kind of thinking has any purchase in the US, not with regard to ROW, but with regard to the US itself.

Due to US sanctions, Huawei once a global leader in 5G and China’s national champion is reduced to a 4G launch for the Chinese market only. I’m trying to imagine what the headlines would be like if China, or any other country had done this to, say, Apple? ft.com/content/79e3f6… https://t.co/6HHjKsXLrd
In recent @ForeignPolicy piece on trans-Atlantic carbon politics I highlighted vast differences in energy prices and consumption EU v. US. On this point this OECD data from 1988 are still of interest. Implicit carbon tax in France/Italy > $220. citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/downlo… https://t.co/736UAoZ1Ud
@JWMason1 @LeusderListicle We clearly have fundamental differences here. The evidence seems fully consistent with an effect that is large and thus merits that wording. Glad at least to have actually engaged in this conversation.
Nearly 9 percent of people in rich N America and Europe were food insecure in 2020! ft.com/content/c41606… https://t.co/wKpuzBDmD4
@LeusderListicle Its all conventional micro, of course. Leaves plenty of room for compounding non-price factors. And also for tactical/politcial judgements about carbon pricing as a tool for energy transition.
@LeusderListicle @JWMason1 Or here, just one more, that looks at car ownership, mileage and fuel efficiency and finds a long-run elasticity of -0.81. Again, just a starting point for debate. But this isnt merely some kind of neoclassical will-o-the-wisp. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
@LeusderListicle @JWMason1 Or here a paper from 1978 which actually simulates what US gasoline consumption would have been if US consumers faced European prices. No doubt one can argue with the econometrics, but it isnt as though the question has not been asked, and answers given. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Geely, which also has a minority stake in Germany’s Daimler and is China’s largest privately owned automaker by vehicles sold, has been positioning itself at core of global automobile industry’s switch towards EVs. New tie up with Renault reinforces that. ft.com/content/360d05… https://t.co/Y66rmRbWvj
@LeusderListicle Meta analysis of price elasticity of energy demand finds a. Strong evidence of response to 1973 price shock b. Long-run price elasticities which are ones that matter for our discussion of an average of 0.61 @JWMason1 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
@LeusderListicle @JWMason1 Obs there are a bunch of big issues at stake in this "do energy prices matter?" debate. But passage of mine that @JWMason1 took issue with in @ForeignPolicy was a gesture towards way in which HUGE price differences shape "modes of consumption".
Put the Frick collection in the brutalism of the old Whitney and what do you get? Genius! This brilliant piece by Jeffey Weiss in @Artforum turned me on to the idea. Went at weekend. Stunning! Never has the collection or the gallery looked better. artforum.com/print/202106/j… https://t.co/41DuQdYUVZ
@JWMason1 Hi Josh of course there is path-dependent development of modes of energy use, around which a bunch of complex socio-cultural factors accrete, but, yup, I do feel pretty comfortable with significance of 2X price difference.
Wall Street bankers have started to redirect planned listings from NY to HK following effective freeze on US listings of China tech. However, lack of investor appetite in Cloud Village may signal that deepening tensions btw US& China may scupper that too. ft.com/content/f949a6… https://t.co/QzWMM7Wjlj
