I'm posting again on Twitter/X. But I won't be posting THREADS. This is for three reasons: access, engagement/relevance, & @elonmusk. 1) Access: I started posting threads on this platform because it was a useful way to create accessible (open and free) content for my.

RT @WPReview: Trump’s pressure campaign against the Fed has global precedents, but its impact is still of outsized importance, @ProfPaulPoa….

Central bank independence is a pillar of not only the Federal Reserve, but the entire global monetary system. Trump's desire to undo that independence is the latest example of politicians seeking to undermine that pillar. My latest for @WPReview.

RT @BuchananLiz: I MADE THE LEGENDARY @ProfPaulPoast ‘IR BOOK OF THE WEEK’.

IR Book of the Week!. "So You Want to Own Greenland?" by @BuchananLiz. Trump is only the latest leader to desire controlling the key arctic island. This book explores why and how, going forward, it will be central to the "Great Game" of arctic competition.

I just my immediate thoughts on the "Axis of Upheaval" gathering in Beijing 👇.

Each summer, I help run the Summer Institute in Social Research Methods (SISRM) at the University of Chicago. This summer we had 80 undergraduates learning about HOW to conduct social science research, and then becoming RAs on faculty research projects .

The Tianjin summit shows that the Russia-China alliance is as strong as ever. Truly no-limits. If Trump thought he could "pull" Russia away from China, he was mistaken. As I explain in my latest for @WPReview, you can't manipulate major powers.

The TL,DR: if Trump REALLY likes William McKinley, then he would do what McKinley himself did (while in Congress): pass legislation imposing tariffs, not unilaterally do it by declaring vague emergencies.

I just posted my immediate thoughts on Trump's Tariffs being declared illegal 👇.

The idea that Great Powers (or aspiring great powers) can be pushed or pulled is a delusion. "Reverse Kissinger" to ideas that a policy will send one great power into the arms of another are simply myths. I explain why in my latest for @WPReview .

Our new book, "Wheat at War", is largely a work of history. But does it have any relevance for today? Yes, sadly. From starvation in Gaza, to famine in Sudan, to wheat shortages from War in Ukraine, the nexus of food and war is still with us.

ICYMI: The details of diplomacy tell us what a settlement to end the War in Ukraine looks like. and that we're still far from achieving it.

I agree that "Defense" is broad (whole books have been written trying to define "national defense"), but "War" doesn't work for the opposite reason: it's just one part of what the Armed Forces do.

Folks are rightfully worried that President Trump is compromising the Federal Reserve's independence. As I wrote a year ago in @WPReview, b/c the Fed is the most powerful economic entity in the world, it needs to be far removed from political machinations.

In preparation for teaching this fall, I'm creating a document titled "Abuse and Use of AI in Social Science Research Analysis and Writing". It will offer examples of "good use" and "base use" of AI. For most, I offer detailed examples of the good and bad. But NOT for 👇 task
