Chartbook 377 "Not with a bang but a whimper". How Trump's United States denounced the global agenda of sustainable development and no one noticed.

Chartbook 376 Trump trolling the Fed chair, whilst legal warfare rages over America's administrative state. Is America nearing stage 4?

The slide into open political warfare over financial markets and monetary policy: Stage 4 in the disintegration of the foundations of the dollar system?

Professor Avi Shlaim’s recent book, Genocide in Gaza: Israel’s Long War on Palestine, was named as one of the Books of the Year 2024 in the Times Literary Supplement.

1 week ago | adamtooze.substack.com | Adam Tooze

Everything was selling. On Monday - to get you set for the week ahead - Chartbook 399 outlined the stages:First shares sell. In a normal “risk off” mood, folks shift from shares into the safe haven of bonds. But when panic takes hold, investors sell both shares and bonds. And when it gets really, really bad, they may want to exit America altogether, in which case they sell all three: shares, bonds and the dollar. Equity markets plunge.
