Swiss watchmakers 🤦‍♂️ watched in horror as their über-expensive tickers got KO'd by Japan's quartz juggernaut. Turns out, clinging to mechanical watches while your competitors zoom past you with tech advancements isn't a winning strategy. Meanwhile, Bretton Woods was just the cherry 🍒 on top of their ticking time bomb. Complete shocker, right? 😱

Susan George, a grande dama do altermundismo

Grande pensadora do movimento antiglobalização morreu aos 91. Sua obra mostrou como o comércio, a dívida e os “investimentos” são usados para produzir a fome global. Um de seus últimos livros, ficcional, é saboroso: nove rentistas debatem o futuro do capitalismo

Så hur ska vi kunna bygga en mer demokratisk ekonomisk världsordning – ett slags Bretton Woods 2.0? Det system som råder idag har kallats för en monetär terrorbalans. Särskilt har de två största ekonomierna – USA och Kina – ägnat sig åt att göra den egna valutan svag för att befrämja exportindustri.

Historians’ rankings of America’s best and worst foreign-policy decisions show the U.S. succeeded when it led cooperatively through multilateral institutions and failed when it turned inward or went rogue. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/02/02/world/best-and-worst-us-foreign-policy-decisions/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #marshallplan #nato #un #brettonwoods #worldbank #imf #gatt #wto #treatyofversailles #parisagreement #monroedoctrine #donroedoctrine #iraqinvasion #donaldtrump

The 10 best and worst U.S. foreign policy decisions

Without U.S. leadership, the G7 is adrift. Japan and other middle powers should look to the OECD for direction. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/23/japan/after-davos-middle-powers-matter/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #markcarney #canada #g7 #worldeconomicforum #davos #switzerland #us #donaldtrump #shinzoabe #fumiokishida #china #brettonwoods #imf #worldbank #wto #oecd

Vor ein paar Jahren las ich den "eigentlichen" Grund für das New York-Lager aus #Bundesbank-Perspektive:
Das #Gold sicherte die Export-Garantien und Fremdwährungs-Einnahmen "Deutschlands".
Das stammte noch aus der Zeit vor #BrettonWoods und der Fiat-Ära ab #Nixon.

Es war schlicht nicht sinnvoll, diese Barren - ständig! - über den Nord-Atlantik hin und her zu transportieren.
