“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.” When Albert Camus was awarded the 1957 literature prize, he was just 44 years old – the second youngest literature laureate at the time of the award. Read more: nobelprize.org/prizes/litera…

Super interesting! "Decomposing Shifts in the Beveridge Curve: Implications for Labor Market Dynamics and Inflation" by Katharine G. Abraham, John C. Haltiwanger, and Lea E. Rendell. "This paper explores the relationship between standard labor market tightness (vacancies divided by unemployment) and generalized labor market tightness (vacancies divided by a measure of effective searchers that accounts for potential hires from all sources including those out of the labor force or currently employed). We show that much of what the standard model attributes to variation in matching efficiency reflects changes in the ratio of effective searchers to unemployment rather than changes in “true” matching efficiency. Generalized tightness outperforms standard tightness in Phillips curve equations, both in models with tightness entering linearly and in better-fitting models with tightness entering nonlinearly. In models that distinguish between movements in generalized tightness due to movements along the generalized Beveridge curve versus Beveridge curve shifts (reflecting changes in generalized matching efficiency and other factors), changes in tightness due to Beveridge curve shifts explain more of the variation in inflation." nber.org/papers/w35316

A must read (or must listen): Europe2031.ai . A dystopian but unfortunately surprising convincing of what could happen if Europe does not catch up on AI. It moved my prior. (and it is, despite the gloomy conclusions) a fun read.

🚨🗣️New: Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Vinicius Junior refusing the mandatory halftime interview with FIFA at the World Cup: “People are shocked that Vinícius walked away from a halftime interview. I am shocked that anyone thinks he should have stopped in the first place. Halftime is not a television studio. Halftime is not a podcast. Halftime is not a red carpet. Halftime is the heartbeat of a football match. For 45 minutes, players are warriors in a storm. They run, they fight, they suffer, they bleed. Then they get 15 precious minutes to recover, to breathe, to listen, to think. And FIFA wants to spend part of that time chasing soundbites? That is like pulling a Formula 1 driver out of his car during a pit stop and asking him how the race is going. And FIFA’s idea is to shove a microphone in the player’s face and ask, ‘How do you feel?’ How do you think he feels? He’s exhausted. This is modern football’s biggest disease. Everything is content. Everything is sponsorship. Everything is television. The match hasn’t even finished and they’re already trying to manufacture headlines. They tell us they care about player welfare. Really? Then why are players playing more games than ever? Why are tournaments expanding? Why are injuries increasing? And now they want halftime interviews too? The hypocrisy is unbelievable. Halftime is sacred. It belongs to the players and the coaches. That’s where games are won. That’s where tactics change. That’s where injuries get treated. That’s where leaders speak. It is not a media circus. And don’t tell me this is for the fans. Fans want better football, not a tired player giving a robotic 20-second answer because somebody sold another broadcast package. Vinícius understood that. He chose football over public relations. The funniest part? They threaten him with a fine. A fine. As if that changes the principle. If I were there, I’d pay it too. Because some things are worth more than money. If FIFA really had their way, they’d put microphones in the dressing room and call it innovation. Football should come first. Not content. Not commercials. Not corporate greed. For once, a player pushed back. And that’s exactly why so many people are angry.”

New Factful Friday up on LI! 👉China overproduced. America got the deficit. Case closed? Not so fast. 👉Run the very same arithmetic backwards: America underproduced, China got the surplus. 👉Same sum, opposite villain. 🌟An identity that can blame either side has proven neither's culpability. 👉Meet the symmetric-blame fallacy. I'm not saying the overproduction narrative is wrong. I'm saying we need a lot more thought and evidence before accepting it as true. The way it's usually put, it sounds self-evident.
