    Read excerpt

    Nearly three years ago, shortly after OpenAI released ChatGPT-4, Sam Altman, the company’s C.E.O., suggested that the artificial-intelligence revolution could eliminate up to half of all existing jobs. “I think that’s good,” Altman said, at a Wall Street Journal conference. “I think that’s the way of progress. And we’ll find new and better jobs.” In May of last year, Dario Amodei, the C.E.O. of Anthropic, said that A.I. could destroy up to half of all entry-level positions and send the unemploym

From the Qatari gift of a luxury, wood-panelled Boeing 747 to the five hundred million dollars that an investment fund controlled by a member of the royal family of the United Arab Emirates invested in a Trump cryptocurrency company; to the President attending a private dinner with investors in his $TRUMP meme coin (which h

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In the classic book “Manias, Panics, and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises,” the economic historian Charles Kindleberger divided episodes of speculation into five stages. Citing the work of Hyman Minsky, the post-Keynesian theorist, Kindleberger writes that the process begins with a displacement, such as the emergence of an important new technology, or a major policy shift, that gets investors excited about the future.
