Strong second.

I loved working with terrific editors @monkeycageblog, including @ejgraff @ErikVoeten @henryfarrell @vanessa_lide @ProfSaunders @segoddard and others, who helped make my academic and policy commentary legible to a wider audience.

11 hits of gratitude. Thread👇
When I had just defended my dissertation and was on the job market, @ErikVoeten encouraged me to try to develop some of my arguments around #ISDS for a policy audience. It ended up becoming a section of my book Judge Knot.

A year later, I was able to continue that line of work and analysis by looking at how trade rules were upending North American energy markets.

After finally getting the dissertation in publishable form and getting a job, I started writing and researching on a wider range of topics, like tracking multilateral institutions' difficulty in accommodating national security-motivated trade restrictions.

Shortly after @AOC @EdMarkey and others launched the Green New Deal, @monkeycageblog became an outlet to begin fleshing out what the international complement to it could be. That sandbox helped develop at least half a dozen longer-form pieces.

Monkey Cage was a valuable place to stretch my research interests, and connect international economics to domestic administrative law/state questions - questions I've been mulling ever since.

Monkey Cage also helped me achieve a goal I set in 2019: lean into coauthoring. Here is a piece with @lenorepalladino, where we took a look at policy ideas for remaking shareholder capitalism in the UK.

With the US' shift out of neoliberalism after the election of Biden, Monkey Cage was an invaluable forum for sense-making, including on changing international tax norms...

Sectoral approaches to decarbonization (w/ @bentleyballan)...

Weaponized interdependence in the wake of Russia's escalation of the war in Ukraine (w/ @Tim_L_Meyer)...

Onshoring of supply chains...

And, finally in the final days of the MC as it lived on the Post, hiccups on the path to greening trade policy.

As an #altac, @monkeycageblog provided crucial space to bridge academic research with policy-facing work. Best of luck and hope to them in whatever comes next.

The dream of the 90s is alive in Postland.

You might have thought that an essay that started with this triumphant victory lap for Bidenomics would conclude that more of the same would be wise.

You would be wrong. Image
Instead, the "cure" for this success is an agenda that neither party could win an election on: a return to TPP and TTIP. Image

"If Stanley Cohen once defined the social phenomenon of the “moral panic”, one is tempted to say that what the IRA has unleashed in Europe is a “policy panic”: an echo-chamber of zealous & intense responses to a perceived existential threat." - @adam_tooze
adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-18…
And here's an oped length dive from @adam_tooze on the Transatlantic politics of the IRA: An arms race on industrial policy is the last thing Europe needs.

The timing of the uproar is indeed odd, as Adam notes.

Wow. The EU is not stopping at criticizing the electric vehicle tax credit. Instead they are taking aim at vast swaths of the climate provisions of the IRA. ImageImageImageImage
Underlines the importance of @MESandbu's entreaty in today's @FT. The EU needs to decide whether it wants the decarbonization agenda the US can actually deliver, or no decarbonization agenda at all.

Ensure a livable planet, or cling to neoliberalism?

A moribund WTO may soon be wrestling with The Biden Doctrine.
This is the idea that there should be Green Peace between allies until there's sufficient clean products on the market, which is a decade or two off.
Excellent @MESandbu column imploring Europe to look to the future of climate-trade cooperation with the US, instead of looking backwards to a past mode that severed the two topics.

If Dems keep the Senate, it will be due to union workers' votes, and union leaders and a handful of candidates that did an above-average job owning the legislative wins of the last few years.
And here's an excellent illustration from @LaurenKGurley about the interconnection between industrial policy for manufacturing and the service sector (education, care, etc). Voters want both.
A few years ago, it would have been hard to believe a Dem would win the House seat for Alaska. Yet thanks to union and Native support (and ranked choice voting!), Mary Peltola did just that.
