When every major employer tells the same AI story on the same earnings calls in the same quarter, exits close not because any single employer sealed them but because thousands running the same playbook leaves nowhere to walk. You cannot leave Meta for Google if Google is running the same playbook.

AI Layoffs and Wage Compression: The Bet Corporate America Made

AI gave corporate America a way to gut headcount and get applauded for it. An NBER study found only 2% of execs attributed cuts to actual AI, but 60% cut in anticipation of efficiencies that haven't arrived. The bet was never productivity. It was permanent wage compression with better PR.

How to make sense of Donald Trump’s tariffs

The new field of ‘geoeconomics’ offers a guide for the perplexed

Financial Times

Interesting read based on the work of #Hirschman (National Power and the Structure of Foreign Trade).

'he viewed “commerce as . . . a model of imperialism which did not require ‘conquest’ to subordinate weaker trading partners”, as Adelman says. This is close to how the Trump advisers parse economics.'

Wie begegnen wir dem #Rechtsruck, wie stoppen wir die „Weltverschlechterer“? Und wie können uns möglicherweise die Überlegungen, die Albert O. #Hirschman in seinem Werk ĂŒber „Exit, Voice & Loyalty” angestellt hat, dabei helfen? DarĂŒber diskutiere ich am 4.4. mit spannenden GesprĂ€chspartner*innen!1/2
