Always, always, always question your priors. Do not allow complacency to seep into your work.

The Global South isn’t “neutral” in Cold War 2.0—it’s transactional. From BRICS+ to OPEC+, states hedge by extracting concessions from both Washington and the DragonBear. Their currency is optionality: access to markets, infrastructure, and technology, not ideology. This makes

The Fed’s reckless “gain-of-function” experiments have fueled inflation, crushed working Americans, and put its independence at risk. It’s time to restore accountability at the Fed, and for it to return to simple, proven tools. Read my op-ed in the @WSJ:
