Is the world really drowning in debt? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gross global debt reached $365 trillion (â¬321 trillion), or 311 per cent of global gross domestic product (GDP), in the first half of 2026, according to the latest from the Institute for International Finance (IIF). Should we be worried? The IIF thinks so, pointing out that âMature market governments now spend more on interest expense than the world invests in either AI [artificial intelligence], defence, or energyâ and âDebt has become more a political issue than a macro-financial one â
The war between Donald Trump and the Fed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, the US Federal Reserve made the decision to raise the federal funds rate, for the first time in three years, by a quarter of a percentage point to a range of 3.75 per cent to 4 per cent.

This, as I argued in The dangerous triumph of neo-mercantilism, threatens both the stability of the world economy and relations among great powers. China is also better suited to mercantilism than the US and European Union (EU). Mercantilists seek power and security or, in other words, the ability to bully others and resist being bullied by them in turn. H
Is the US or Europe better off? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The general view, not just in the US, is that the contemporary European economy is a dying duck. As the Nobel laureate Paul Krugman notes in a recent Substack on this question, which builds in turn on important earlier work by Seth Ackerman, âthere is ... a widespread perception that Europe is living off its past glories, that it is lagging behind America and China in ways that will undermine its ability to maintain its economic standing in the worldâ. Indeed, just this fear animates reports
