Columnist, @NYTOpinion Author, "Why We're Polarized" Host of "The Ezra Klein Show" podcast
Bit of an odd column for me, but built around two books that were electric to read in this moment, and I strongly recommend: Matthew Rose's "A World After Liberalism" and @yermolenko_v's "Ukraine in Histories and Stories."
This @adam_tooze post got me thinking about the best recent works of speculative financial fiction (or Fin-Fi, as he calls it).
For those of us who remember the great NGDP wars of 2010, this is an interesting read.
Great thread getting at some key questions for supply-side liberals, and particularly for those of us in California.
Highly recommend this Timothy Snyder lecture if you want to dig in on this more deeply.
Fiona Hill is excellent here on the way Ukrainians are often erased from the narrative around Ukraine. The whole conversation here is very much worth a read or listen.
Found this podcast very helpful, and very sobering. The danger of following this on Twitter is it's a non-representative snapshot of this moment, colored by hope and what generates engagement. This is another view.
Great piece by @tressiemcphd on why crypto has appeal way beyond tech bros. It's also what makes me nervous about a bunch of these frothy currencies/assets collapsing. A lot of the people likely to lose money here will really hurt.
