Mao Zedong once gave a box of mangoes to a group of workers. This act of generosity led to mangoes being worshiped as a symbol of Mao’s devotion to the workers. People kept and venerated replica wax mangoes. Sources disagree whether the original box was from Pakistan or India.
One of my favorite Rashid Khalidi quotes from a few months back: (and it's my own approach too) "Students are students, They’re not scholars, or fully developed adults yet. I think you have to cut them a lot of slack.”
It took a while, but the hysteria over campus protests finally led to journalists talking to the protesters (rather than caricaturing them)

Really enjoying @kyleichan’s newsletter which focuses on industrial policy issues, especially in China and India. open.substack.com/pub/highcapaci…
As a @Columbia alumnus who has spent a couple of days on campus this week, I can only second this account by Prof. Mazower. on.ft.com/3y2KQUe
To understand why Trump wants to punish countries for bucking the dollar, listen to The Sanctions Age. The first episodes feature the reporter who broke the story, the scholars who unwittingly inspired Trump’s team, and two de-dollarization experts! thesanctionsage.com
Fascinating interview of @PPouyanne by @JavierBlas. "Patrick Pouyanne... is on a mission to prove there’s a middle way, boosting fossil-fuel production and using the proceeds to finance increased renewable electricity output." bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Few people are better placed than @KozhanovNikolay to make this observation… The war in Ukraine made Gulf oil more indispensable, but it also made the Gulf’s energy transition more urgent. The final entry in our @BourseBazaar + @IAIonline series: bourseandbazaar.com/articles/2024/…
Excited to have a chapter in this forthcoming @ibtauris volume edited by @Divsallar. The book has brilliant contributors. My chapter is on the prospects for trade between Russia and Iran in the face of Western sanctions. You can pre-order your copy now: bloomsbury.com/uk/struggle-fo…
COLUMN: My interview with TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanné, debating his profitable energy transition path: still growing oil and gas, but investing in electricity. Plus whether to switch the listing from Paris to New York (oh là là!!). @opinion #OOTT bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Troubling report from @SalehaMohsin, @nancook, and @JenniferJJacobs. Trump’s advisors want to stem de-dollarization. But they plan to do so by using the same punitive and coercive measures that are now spurring countries to reduce their dollar dependence! bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Netanyahu wants you to believe this is “reminiscent of what happened in German universities in the 1930s.”
Netanyahu wants you to believe this is “reminiscent of what happened in German universities in the 1930s.”
Absolutely must-read from @KaminskiMK on how "the rise of West Coast power coincides with the decline of political power" and why this is another ‘American Century.’ politi.co/3We0hmJ via @politico
Latest piece for the joint @BourseBazaar and @IAIonline article series on energy cooperation in the Gulf: “Accelerating the Gulf's Energy Transition in the Wake of Russia's War” by @KozhanovNikolay bourseandbazaar.com/articles/2024/…

American politics has devolved to “hey at least it’s *our* guy doing the bad things.”
American politics has devolved to “hey at least it’s *our* guy doing the bad things.”
Great piece by @gbrew24 on why "going after Iranian oil remains a lose-lose for the US, at least in the short term." Fully agree that it would be a mistake for Biden to put China's energy security in his crosshairs. mei.edu/publications/d…
This is an impressive round-up of views on Iran's economy from @MelissaLawford. I offered my take on the approaching limits of Iranian industrial resilience, the disempowerment of Iran's middle class, and why Biden's Iran policy reached a dead end. telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…
Great piece by @ZiadMDaoud (@Bloomberg) on the scope and limits of the Gulf states' colossal financial power. I highly recommend. It cites data that @CamilleLons and I compiled for @IISS_org on Gulf bailouts and their often-uncertain geopolitical returns. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@yarbatman @Discoplomacy Critical minerals is (largely) the West's agenda and derivative of policies toward China. Sanctions is derivative of policies toward Russia. They'll never get anywhere until they find offerings that turn on local priorities - growth, employment, upskilling, tech, connectivity.

Ok. Manor Lords review time, @LordsManor. In short, I LOVED IT. But, maybe not for the reasons you might initially think. A review 🧵on the indie peasant sim/city builder that took the internet by storm. It's been compared to Total War, but is something else. 1/25
@andrewrsorkin But Andrew, why only antisemitism? Why not Islamophobia and anti-Black racism too? Where are we drawing these lines on what is and isn’t tolerable? And how are we defining antisemitism?
One of my favorite Rashid Khalidi quotes from a few months back: (and it's my own approach too) "Students are students, They’re not scholars, or fully developed adults yet. I think you have to cut them a lot of slack.”
It took a while, but the hysteria over campus protests finally led to journalists talking to the protesters (rather than caricaturing them)
Here’s an interview with a Columbia protester named Ava where she talks about why she’s there, anti-Semitism, and the historical echoes of this movement.
Honored to have gotten to spend the last two days talking to some of Georgia’s brightest minds and best journalists about sanctions and Economic War. For those of you who know Georgia, you’ll be aware it’s a particularly interesting time to be in town as a foreign analyst…

Very typical white South African thinking, circa 1985.
The axiomatic error undermining much of Western Civilization is “weak makes right”. If someone accepts, explicitly or implicitly, that the oppressed are always the good guys, then the natural conclusion is that the strong are the bad guys.
