I talked to @LHSummers about secular stagnation: what it is, why it happened, and whether it’s still a useful framework for thinking about macroeconomics. slowboring.com/p/larry-summer…
Great piece by @JedKolko on what economic research was—and was not—relevant to him when he was in government. Not most academic work but… slowboring.com/p/the-economic…

Big thank you to @mattyglesias for having me guest post this piece on the unprecedented gap in humanitarian funding for crises around the world. slowboring.com/p/our-broken-g…
An aging society needs higher taxes (sorry) but that means we need to address the simplicity and efficiency of the tax code more seriously. Here are some ideas. slowboring.com/p/the-take-bak…
We’re living in essentially the best of times, but news & social media have gotten better at compulsive negativity so people want to do angry posts rather than work on solving problems. slowboring.com/p/were-living-…
@CharlesFLehman Pretty good take on one potential middle ground here. slowboring.com/p/the-take-bak…
This idea of banning mobile betting by @BenKrauss5 is a really good one--forcing people who want to bet to do it in person at a bar etc. slowboring.com/p/the-take-bak…
As the release of Francis Ford Coppola’s self-funded, $100 million extravaganza ‘Megalopolis’ nears, it’s worth revisiting ‘The Conversation’ from 50 years ago as a reminder of what it looks (and sounds) like when a master is at work. @brofromanother: theringer.com/movies/2024/4/…
This is incredible. From @Jamie_Lane where AirBnBs are fully booked next week.

Down goes the Patriot Act 2.0 (for now) in a rule vote on the floor, 228-193. Speaker Johnson and Jeffries are backing a more expansive FISA 702, that closes off reforms on data brokers, but it’s running into trouble with the rank and file. prospect.org/politics/2024-…
