But first a correction. As I noted on Twitter and very briefly on the post itself on Saturday, it seems that the gist of my post on Friday was wrong. The repeal of Labour’s tobacco de-nicotinisation legislation – whatever motivated the parties that championed the change – will leave the flow of tobacco excise revenue … Continue reading The new government and the Reserve Bank

Congress has a provision that would define down the quorum to be only those who show up after a mass attack. Imagine a House of 25 members acting as the House, leaving most of the country unrepresented and calling into question its legitimacy.

Heike Becker writes about what has been going on in Germany since 7 October last year. She contextualises the German government's unconditional support of Israel's conduct in Gaza and astonishing efforts by government and civil society associations to silence critics of Israel's actions. Becker points out the deafening silence in mainstream German politics and society about the thousands of children, women, and men who have been killed.

Review of Purchasing Submission: Conditions, Power, and Freedom, by Philip Hamburger

In general, I think the left focuses too much on national politics, when a lot of the action is happening at the state level. So I want to discuss politics in Michigan, my home state since 1987. Ann Arbor is even more blue than Detroit, but overall Michigan is basically a 50-50 state. Trump won […]

Andrew Pagliarini writes in The New Republic about the political crisis in Bolivia. He links to the new report by Harvard Law School's International Human Rights Clinic and the University Network for Human Rights, which is really disturbing. The title is They Shot Us Like Animals so you immediately get the drift.According to witnesses, government repression since November 2019 has extended beyond killing protestors to quell criticism. The government has harassed, arbitrarily arrested, and tortured people that it perceives to be outspoken against the Áñez administration. Many Bolivians have found themselves facing charges or detention for vaguely defined crimes such as sedition, while others have been attacked in the streets by security forces and para-state actors. Certain visible groups are particularly susceptible to this persecution, including journalists, human rights defenders, and politicians. The result of this repression has been a pervasive climate of fear in many communities. Pagliarini frames the postponement of the presidential election in terms of lithium. Like so many other times in Latin America, political crisis and U.S. interests centers on a primary good deemed to be essential. And we're all using lithium.Añez will hold on as long as she can, so international pressure is essential. Sadly, this will definitely not come from the Trump administration, which rushed to give the new government aid. As usual there is no unified stance among Latin American countries or any regional leadership on it. Subscribe in a reader

Angesichts des steigenden Bedarfs – sowohl für die Ukraine als auch für die Depots der europäischen NATO-Länder – sollen Flugkörper für das Luftverteidigungssystem Patriot künftig auch in Deutschland gebaut werden. Die NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) schloss dafür einen Vertrag mit einem Joint Venture des US-Unternehmens Raytheon und dem europäischen Raketenhersteller MBDA. Die Bestellung von bis zu 1.000 Patriot Guidance Enhanced Missiles (GEM-T) wurde möglich, nachdem der Haushaltsausschuss des Bundestages den Kauf von 500 Patriot-Lenkflugkörpern für Deutschland bewilligt hatte.

With a symbolically successful COP28 and substantively significant investments in clean energy around the world, 2023 boasts some positive news on climate change. Not a moment too soon: global GHG emissions continue to rise and global warming continues to worsen. We can hardly rest on our laurels. The team at Brown University's Climate Solutions Lab […]

The Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage ("The World Heritage Convention") entered into force in 1975. The world heritage regime, in effect, produces the shared heritage of humanity. States use their right, as set by the Convention, to nominate sites within their borders; the files accompanying the nomination make the case for the site's […]

In Chinn and Ferrara (2024), we find substantial explanatory power for the 10yr-3mo, the 3 month rate, and the debt service ratio for German recessions (our analysis we also covered Canada, France, Italy, Japan, Sweden, and UK). Our sample extended up to 2022M12 (using spreads up to 2021M12), as we were unsure about recession in […]

The solution to local government corruption is simple: deregulation. If Americans want less government corruption, they must reduce the government's power over private activities.
