Gillian Tett (Financial Times) interviewed by Ezra Klein, just plugged David Graeber's "Debt"

(And in case you're curious, yes I am in fact binging Klein today. He's good, but ye gads do I have to brace myself for political commentary. Given his podcast's slipping further behind the NYT paywall, where episodes are unpublished after a couple of weeks, this means having to store a large number of long, large, space-consuming episodes until I can stand to hear them. And am done hearing them (they're usually worth a 2nd listen, at least).)

C’è del metodo in questo caos - di Christian Marazzi e Spartaco Greppi - Effimera

I mercati finanziari, depositari delle aspettative razionali degli attori economici, celebrati da fior di economisti e premi Nobel, sembrano aver smarrito la loro presunta capacità […]

Effimera

"It’s hard to understand the economic logic of President Trump’s tariffs. In our last episode, we tried, but with limited success. And that might be because the logic here isn’t entirely economic at all. So we wanted to spend an episode looking at Trump’s economic policies through a wider lens.

Gillian Tett is a columnist at The Financial Times and a member of its editorial board. She’s also a trained anthropologist with a Ph.D. And she brings both perspectives into this conversation — exploring Trump’s policies as economics, as well as power politics, patronage and cultural messaging — which I think makes the whole thing make a bit more sense."—The Ezra Klein Show

What I'm listening to as I throw on my wheel: "...every single person assumes that the intellectual framework they grew up with and built their careers around is natural, normal, inevitable and should be universal. That’s just the nature of being human. And everybody is wrong. Ideas change over time. They go in fashions or cycles, however you want to frame it."
