.@rupert_russell's book Price Wars is a thorough and compelling account of political instability generated by the hyper-financialization of commodities. It could not be more timely, and this podcast w/ @ryangrim is very much worth your time. https://t.co/iIe6ihNzpr

Taking a break from war and commodity shock stuff to emphasize that this was the greatest NCAA basketball game ever played. Duke vs. Kentucky 1992 is a close 2nd, but Kihei Clark's pass was harder and crazier than Grant Hill's miracle throw. https://t.co/yBvbtlEbIp

Keynes’ ideas changed over time, and it’s fair game to pick an era of his thought and explain why it’s a good frame for today. Robert Skidelsky did this recently by invoking A Treatise on Money to call for the end of QE.

Congratulations to @bterris on the publication of The Big Break. I don't know that I've ever read anything so good on the culture of Washington. An essential document for future historians trying to understand our era. https://t.co/paBS91NL9L

This Dune screening has some absolutely sick lead-in programming about synth and metal bands that love Dune. Had no idea Frank Herbert refused Iron Maiden’s request to title a song “Dune” because he “hates rock bands and especially heavy rock bands like Iron Maiden.”

Love this Celtics-Sixers announcer declaring “Malcolm doing it by any means necessary!” on @MalcolmBrogdon7 finishing a crafty layup.

@vebaccount @Noahpinion In the Economic Consequences of the Peace, where Keynes made this point, he was very explicitly taking a broader view of anti-inflation policy than interest rate management. Keynes had a lot to say about inflation, but not what you wrote in your post.
