Friday’s e-links 08/25/23

During the Ezra Klein podcast, Financial Times opinion writer Martin Wolf (also a former World Bank economist) explains how three words–shifts, shocks, and fragilities–can best describe the global economy. First, Dr. Wolf digs into the shifts that are changing the economic landscape. Next, he explores unforecastable shocks. And then, completing the picture, he explores the vulnerabilities that make it tough to deal with shifts and shocks. I recommend this podcast because, after just 90 minutes, listeners leave with a simple summary of some very complex phenomena.
