Over the past several days, I have undertaken an interesting survey of the global media landscape, examining coverage by leading American, British, European, Russian, and Asian news organizations. What interested me most was not simply what these outlets were reporting, but how their agendas were changing: which subjects were gaining prominence, which questions were moving […]

Signs of mounting stress in the global financial system are becoming increasingly apparent. And recent events raise a familiar question: are we approaching a crisis whose consequences will be measured not merely in stock market losses, but in a massive redistribution of ownership? On October 30, the Nasdaq fell 2.86%, the semiconductor index plunged 7.2%, […]

Developments in Poland are taking an increasingly intriguing turn. On October 30, an acute constitutional crisis erupted in Warsaw. Following the suspension of Constitutional Tribunal President Bogdan Święczkowski and his deputy, substantial police forces were deployed around the court. Protests and clashes followed, with several people detained. President Karol Nawrocki cut short his flight to […]

Washington warns that record European financing for Airbus could undermine the longstanding US–EU agreement on aircraft subsidies. A record $3.4 billion European financing package for Airbus threatens to unravel a fragile trade truce between Washington and Brussels, potentially reigniting one of the longest-running trade disputes between the two economic powers, President Donald Trump’s top trade […]

Russia is sketching out a new energy order. Europe may not like it. At the Gas Exporting Countries Forum summit in Moscow, Vladimir Putin outlined what could become a solution to one of the biggest challenges facing the world’s energy producers: their dependence on transportation networks, transit routes, and the bargaining power of major buyers. […]

With so much contradictory information circulating about the October 27 telephone conversation between Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, and Russian President Vladimir Putin, a few things are worth clarifying. First, Stubb and Støre were not speaking on behalf of the European Union. Not in the slightest. The official statement went […]

Part I. History offers some guidance. After the crash of 1929 and the banking crisis that followed, America’s economic system underwent a radical transformation. The state took on a much more active role in economic life. In 1933 Roosevelt’s administration created the Tennessee Valley Authority, a state-owned corporation charged with developing the energy and infrastructure […]

In recent remarks by Donald Trump and Larry Fink, the boss of BlackRock, there is a striking contradiction—one that, in my view, ought to be read in the context of a looming global financial and structural economic crisis. Indeed, what is now taking shape increasingly resembles the sort of dynamics that preceded the Great Depression […]

Is a struggle for influence inside Ankara reshaping Turkey’s place in a changing world order? Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan recently issued a striking warning. Great nations, he suggested, face great trials, and Turkey once again finds itself at the center of a broader geopolitical struggle. He cautioned that forces seeking to divide the region […]

The conflict in Ukraine is inexorably approaching its end. Yet the cessation of hostilities will leave behind questions far more complicated than those currently being discussed at the negotiating table. What political order will emerge in the region? Where will new borders be drawn? And what security architecture will take shape amid the ruins of […]
