A Macroeconomic Internet “Bakery”

We know the internet is simultaneously a recent invention, integrated into every niche of our lives, and difficult to understand fully. I like to anchor theoretical questions—how does the internet actually work?—in specific case studies. Today’s podcast guest, Lev Borodovsky, creator of The Daily Shot, is one of them.

Disrupting Health Care

Note to readers: I am offering a sale this week. I started these posts as an experiment three years ago. They have now grown into a conversation with thousands of unpaid subscribers and hundreds of paid ones. I am grateful for each subscription. A service that started at $75 now costs $700 a year. If I could offer a sliding scale based on need, I would. But I can’t. So this week, I am lowering the price to $500 a year, or $1.36 a day. Also, I’m at an investment conference this week and won’t be publishing on Friday.

Hedging the Election

“I asked Truman for which foreign policy decision he most wanted to be remembered. He did not hesitate.’We completely defeated our enemies …,’ he remarked. ‘And then we helped them recover, to become democratic, and to rejoin the community of nations. Only America could have done that.’”

China’s Deflationary Down Wave

Note to my readers: I am in Florida to celebrate my wife’s birthday and attend rowing camp. As a result, no post next week unless the sky falls, in which case you will hear from me.
