It will take some time, but business leaders will recognize that damage to the "rules-based international order" is not just a question of norms. Rules are provide predictability. When major economic powers behave in completely unpredictable ways (see Trump trade policy), it is bad for business.

My Trade Secrets today. Situation normal: huge Trump trade war imminent. Today it's checks notes Canada & Mexico. Remember last month the Canada/Mexico tariffs were all about fentanyl & immigration? Well, now they're about creating a "Fortress North America" against China. God this is exhausting.

I know it’s not the main point but this piece contains multiple Bluesky posts from economists as quotes I’d say that it shows that #EconSky is slowly but surely becoming a real deal @davidbflower.bsky.social @lisaspantig.com @tmartens.bsky.social

BP retreats from renewables. Refocus on oil & gas (which never really went away: dominates capex). Unsurprising given robust demand, especially in Asia 🌏🛢️ But disappointing nevertheless

Unsurprising (but disappointing) that BP is reallocating its capital back to oil & gas, and scaling back on renewables. It's flip-flopped over the years (since the 'Beyond Petroleum' era) www.bbc.com/news/article...

#Econsky 📉📈 I'm looking for examples of obvious under-regulation of markets -- cases that even the Friedmanites of the world would agree with. Ideally very specific (e.g., not "antitrust", but "the rise of Standard Oil"; not "banking reg" but "2008 Mortage Crisis"). It's for a book project.
