While it’s true some people dismiss astrology on misogynist grounds, I’m afraid that Le Guin said it best.

just wanna be clear if anyone sees me at the ren fair today I’m not there in a high fantasy medieval way but in a scifi hard to be a god/book of the new sun kinda way

New Yorkers see a red sunset and go “I can see the face of God and on it is written my doom” please shush until you’ve been on I-90 outside of Rockford, Ill., and its night time at 2pm and the sky’s green and rotating and your mom’s shoving you into a Sunoco bathroom

IMF's COFER data on global reserves for the first quarter is finally out, and guess what, the dollar's reserve share didn't change: 57.7% v 57.8% with rounding
(& yes, I do think it is a mistake to focus on the dollar share of reserves rather than dollar reserve growth!)

I threw everything in here—the $, bonds, future of the defense umbrella, the insistence on centrality, stablecoin, why centrality is not always strength, the evolution of US & global (r,g ) dynamics, and a shoutout to Steven Solomon. But no dad jokes.

What is maybe most astonishing about these charts is that 2023 and 2024 were hard-to-believe record-setting years.

Brazil's macro economy is strong: GDP growth leads G20, unemployment near historic low, poverty falling. But 43% cumulative food inflation since 2020 could threaten Lula's 2026 reelection. Time to expand the toolkit. @lauraabcarvalho & I propose a Food Price Observatory @folha.🧵

But the fact remains that reserve related flows are playing a smaller role in the financing of the US current account deficit than at almost any point in the last 25 years ... yet all anyone talks about is the dollar's reserve currency role!

For the last 14 years, I’ve not been a debt scold, but below chart adds US debt/GDP to the r,g picture and suggests that if the heart of exorbitant privilege lies in the ability to run r<g despite persistent twin deficits, debt/GDP suggests this is not a good time to lose it.

Thank you, Ursula, for teaching us to confront the shadows we fear w/ our own name. The 1st edition of A Wizard of #Earthsea in 1968 contained maps and illustrations by Ruth Robbins, who w/ her husband ran the Parnassus Press in Berkeley, CA that first published the novel.
