A B+ economy with a recession-sized deficit is like showing up to a Sunday barbecue in full scuba gear. Technically you’re dressed, but something doesn't add up.

The platypus has a sixth sense — it picks up signals invisible to everyone else. That's what good economics gives you. The promise: see clearly in murky waters.

Why oil? Because worsening war news tends to threaten energy supply. That pushes oil prices up. So rising oil isn’t just about petrol; it’s a signal about geopolitical risk hitting the global economy.

Two things can be true at once: the U.S. is more energy independent than in the 1970s, and an energy shock can still raise inflation. Independence isn’t immunity.

Pete Hegseth’s focused on the cost of the bomb. I’m more interested in the size of the economic crater.⁣ ⁣ And that crater may be 10 to 100 times larger.⁣ ⁣ For many families, that translates into thousands — perhaps tens of thousands — of dollars.

Economists call this diminishing marginal utility. The first dollars change your life. The billionth doesn't. So the argument stops being about consumption and starts being about power.

One more sleep until I can tell you what I've been working on. Can't wait.

Why do economists obsess over uncertainty? Because waiting is easy. If the news might clear soon, firms delay big irreversible decisions. Multiply that across the economy and growth softens.

If you remove phones, you haven’t removed boredom, status competition, or conflict. You’ve just changed the setting. That’s why the first-year effects can look messy.

Two things can be true at once: the price effect on U.S. drivers may be modest, and the geopolitical effect may be serious. Econ isn’t just about what you pay today; it’s also about who gains power tomorrow.
