🚨 NEW PAPER: Jason Hickel and I have developed a progressive framework for green industrial policy. It's the first policy framework to explicitly outline how to scale down harmful industries, organise production around public benefit, and achieve global ecological justice.

China dominates many industries. But there is one where China is far ahead of the competition: renewable energy manufacturing.

House of Huawei is the best book I've read this year. It's not only a story about the rise of an incredibly powerful company. It's also a story about China's economic transformation, state-business relations, entrepreneurship, and geopolitics.

Arthur Kroeber was recently interviewed by Dwarkesh Patel about China's economy, and their conversation is fantastic. The interview is long (2.5 hours), but every minute is filled great insights. I highly recommend this for those who want to learn more about China's economy.

“The past 500 years of world history show that an industrial power has never lost when challenged by a financial power, even when the financial power is also a global hegemon.”. - Lu Feng.

It's a fallacy to think that most poor countries can't do industrial policy because they don't have the state capacity to do it. Building state capacity is a process. In 1950, practically everyone said that East Asian countries lacked state capacity. Look where they are now.

China is aiming to be a global leader in AI by 2030. To this end, they are deploying a vast range of industrial policy tools. A recent paper by Kyle Chan and co-authors provides this fantastic overview of China's industrial policy for AI.

Why did Cuomo win the vote share among the very poor in New York City?. The answer is simple: Cuomo paid lots for TV ads, which low-income households watch more of. So, Cuomo's policies weren't necessarily more popular among the poorest. He was just a more familiar face.

A Muslim immigrant and proud Democratic Socialist will probably be the next Mayor of New York City. Amazing. This is historic.

I got these figures from @laurimyllyvirta. A must-follow if you're interested in clean energy research and numbers.

China is now installing roughly 100 new solar panels every second, and a new wind turbine every 10 minutes. This pace of growth in renewable energy installation is unprecedented.
