We've got a #WITHPod on this topic with @WallachLori coming soon, but in the meantime. It's really crucial to distinguish the actual architecture of the current international trading regime, which is skewed and destructive in many many ways,

from the basic theoretical validity of Adam Smith's insights in Wealth of Nation's about trade, comparative advantage and the perils of mercantilism.

Nearly all of Trump's critiques of trade fall into the know-nothing, zero-sum category.

It is very very dumb and destructive to view the global economy like the Olympics where we're all competing for some finite number of medals and if China "loses" that's good for us because we can "win."

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!

The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.

#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
