Informative macroeconomics doom discussion about China The guest is actually reasonable (despite click bait YT title) and Setser knows what he is talking about. At ~20m: strongest pro/con Industrial Maximalism arguments. Role-playing Xi; natsec and industrialism goals contra normie econ view. Good steel-man exercise; should not be dismissed due to bias.

Happy Labour Day 🎉! Here is a Macroeconomics 101 from Dataline. Trump: oil at $70 → bomb Iran. Oil at $90 → TACO. Bessent: 30Y Treasury hits 5.2% → start talking. Warsh: rate hike odds at 30% → hawk mode. At 70% → full Alibaba shopping cart. Independent yet predictable. Somehow this is how global markets are priced. 🙃 Use Dataline to monitor them all. 👀

How and what should the Federal Reserve communicate regarding monetary policy? St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem addressed the topic today during an event hosted by @CFMUK (the Centre For Macroeconomics) at @LSEnews (the London School of Economics and Political Science). He shared his view that a central bank should communicate how it turns incoming information into monetary policy – the framework for policy decisions. President Musalem discussed three gains from having a clearly communicated framework: smoother monetary policy transmission, better economic outcomes and stronger accountability to the public. Following his speech, he participated in a Q&A moderated by @R2Rsquared (Ricardo Reis), A. W. Phillips Professor of Economics at LSE. View President Musalem’s remarks:
