Kaiser Kuo on China’s astonishing transformation, and how it has profoundly upended liberal Western notions of modernization: “Even those of us who have followed China closely, who pride ourselves on seeing past Western prejudices, have found it difficult to fully absorb what we are witnessing.”

The world feels unsettled, as if history itself were changing tempo. The familiar landmarks of the modern age are blurring, slipping away, and the stories we once told ourselves about…

Why are minerals so central to geopolitics? How green are electric cars? Why is anti-mining protest increasing? Can the inequalities of the global economy be transformed? I tackle these topics in my book EXTRACTION: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism 👀 September 2025 @wwnorton.bsky.social

Excellent piece by @samuelmoyn.bsky.social: Trump “is the symptom of imperial decline who purports to be the cure … He and his supporters would like to buck the tide of history, but they could end up pulled further into it, and have no way to stop it.”

Look who suddenly cares about intellectual property now: “OpenAI says it has found evidence that Chinese artificial intelligence start-up DeepSeek used the US company’s proprietary models to train its own open-source competitor, as concerns grow over a potential breach of intellectual property.”

Great piece by Greg Grandin on the Trump 2.0 turn from isolationism to expansionism: “He is sending a clear signal that dominance, not mutualism, is the world’s new organizing principle and that the doctrine of conquest, thought to have expired, is still valid.”

“Trump won the US presidential election on a platform that promised tariffs as high as 60% on Chinese-made goods. Further south, though, a new China-backed megaport has the potential to create whole new trade routes that will bypass North America entirely.” h/t @fdove.bsky.social

Good point, I’ve been thinking the same lately. From Miliband to Poulantzas and back again! What I find especially interesting are the diverging pathways pursued by the Chinese and US states, with 🇨🇳 asserting the autonomy of the state against the billionaire class and 🇺🇸 virtually abolishing it.

“Since buying Twitter and rebranding it in a manner strangely reminiscent of a teenage boy painting his bedroom black, Elon Musk has been doing everything he can to make it a hostile environment for anyone to the left of Mitt Romney.”
