Regrettably for the American consumer, the maxim that “what goes up, must come down” does not appear to apply to the full range of Trump tariffs. Britain, however, may be in line for a reprieve, with vice-president JD Vance declaring that “there’s a good chance” that Sir Keir Starmer will be able to strike “a great agreement” with Washington.

But say we could strike an outstanding agreement with the United States, cut all tariffs between our countries, and deal with half the non-tariff barriers to trade. What would the gain be? Helpfully, the UK Government already calculated this in 2020: around 0.16pc of GDP. Adjust this for the higher level of tariffs today in a back-of-the-envelope manner (assuming all lost demand is lost GDP), and it's probably more like 0.23pc. This isn't nothing.

Ask which country Britain should model its economy on, and you’ll get a range of answers. Some would opt for the United States and its turbocharged national prosperity. Others, a more dirigiste European model, or perhaps the authoritarian state-managed capitalism of China. Almost nobody is going to name South Africa.

Sunsetting the dollar as the lynchpin of the global financial system by sunsetting the global financial system
If only there were some way in which the exchange rates between services could be widely defined and understood, perhaps with reference to a common unit of exchange, in such a way that supply and demand for each are evenly matched
mutual aid is cool and good but offering tarot and palm readings is not an equivalent exchange for me replacing your timing belt 💀

My realization last year. Especially ideas spread on the internet. Someone sent me a Curtis Yurvin essay from 2008 and it's insane how now this is standard right wing thought, esp if you listen to JD Vance https://t.co/EWF1IYQdRZ
