@nytimes global econ corr. Author of HOW THE WORLD RAN OUT OF EVERYTHING, and DAVOS MAN: How the Billionaires Devoured the World.
- As the pandemic spreads, the threat to livelihoods around the world is yielding an alarming rise in hunger. Our global report, with @Lattif @Karan_Singhs
- Giannis, now pride of Greece, spent much of youth vulnerable to threats of deportation to Nigeria, a country he had never visited. My story from Athens nytimes.com/2019/05/03/spo… via @nytimes
- My book, DAVOS MAN: How the Billionaires Devoured the World, is out today. It unspools story of a cosmic heist — the bottom up transfer of wealth engineered by the billionaire class, stripping governments of capacity to respond to crises like the pandemic, undermining democracy.
- How the ordinary people of one Ukrainian city undermined a Russian occupation. Fantastic tale from @gettleman
- Beef prices are soaring, but ranchers are going broke. Behind this apparent manifestation of the Great Supply Chain Disruption, a story of monopoly power. Our story from Montana and Missouri with amazing photos by @erinschaff
- Fire stations shutting, welfare slashed, parks sold to developers: In Britain, Austerity Is Changing Everything. My essay for beginning of our austerity series
- Sweden has captured attention as a supposed better alternative to pandemic response, not putting the economy in deep freeze. Now it is the world’s cautionary tale, suffering far greater rates of death than neighbors and with same economic damage. My story.
- The US might have been better suited to a rescue that had government effectively nationalizing payrolls, writing paychecks to stave off mass layoffs. Far from fantasy, that’s what Denmark is doing. My analysis
- In Sweden, robots are taking jobs and workers are fine with it, confident in the dynamism of the Nordic model. My story from Sweden.
- Replying to @mattyglesiasYes, let’s transfer everyone’s retirement savings to the ownership of seven financial institutions, too, and if we need anything in our old age they’ll just lend us the money. Not having to be bothered with management is a fair trade for relinquishing all of our wealth
- The era of easy money is winding down, and the world is spooked. My analysis of the chaos in global stock markets nyti.ms/2sftfWU
- Remember the giant Trump infrastructure plan? "It doesn't appear they have a plan" @GlennThrush nytimes.com/2017/07/23/us/…
- Moral of Brexit vote was that white voters want things they will not admit to pollsters. That now truer than ever
