Thanks to @TheEconomist’s #Schumpeter/@HenryTricks for this nice write up: “An excellent new book, “The Power and the Money”, by Tevi Troy, is a timely reminder for bosses of their complex history with America's commanders-in-chief . . .”

Russia is sending 20-year-old boys to die here. Thousands of them. Thank god Ukrainians have not lost their dignity and humanity.

"one of the main routes is via the Polish-Ukrainian border, where supplies from Germany, America and others are crossing. As women and children flee Ukraine, guns and missiles are entering" economist.com/the-economist-…

“This is not just an attack on a sovereign country, it is the future of European security at risk and, frankly, the future of the post-war global order at risk.” @zannymb, The Economist’s editor-in-chief, talks to “The Economist Asks” podcast econ.st/3hjQzto

This is an invasion. Naked unprovoked war.
Whatever Russia-India diplomatic nuances may be, India needs to call it out for what it is.

Watching the countries of Europe start to unite against Putin is encouraging. Watching the people of Ukraine fight for their freedom is an inspiration to free and oppressed people around the world.

#Estonia is banning Russian airlines from our airspace. We invite all EU countries to do the same. There is no place for planes of the agressor state in democratic skies. #StandWithUkraine

I've followed EU affairs from close and far for over a decade and I can't recall anything like this. Polish PM gatecrashes Berlin to lobby for sanctions.
Prime Minister @MorawieckiM in #Berlin 🇩🇪:
Today there is no time for the selfishness that we see also here in #Germany.
This is why I came to @OlafScholz to shake Germany's conscience so that they decide on firm and crushing sanctions that would influence Putin's decisions.

This by @RMCunliffe is very clear about why the new policing bill is such a threat to freedom of speech. If it was being proposed in Hong Kong, we would see the threat much more clearly newstatesman.com/politics/uk…

How much does the perilous mistrust of the excellent UK-developed AstraZeneca vaccine relate to the way the UK government has worked so assiduously to undermine its reputation for trustworthiness in public life?
"So, is the Astra Zeneca vaccine safe to use? Almost certainly, yes." So says our piece on the kerfuffle over whether AZ's jab causes bloodclots. The WHO and European Medicines Agency also say they have no reason to believe the jab is unsafe. economist.com/science-and-te…
Great chat with @Juliahare and @RETHINK_retail about my special report on why shopping is going through the greatest upheaval since the Industrial Revolution. We start back in the middle ages. Then we discuss what China today reveals about the future of shopping
New podcast episode is live! On today’s episode, we are joined by @TheEconomist Schumpeter columnist @HenryTricks to explore The Economist’s special report “The Retail Renaissance.”#retail #podcast ow.ly/tW0V50DZhfx
The heavy-handed police response to the Sarah Everard vigil occurs just as the government is clamping down on people's right to protest via a criminal justice bill on which parliament will vote today. The bill, designed to please social conservatives, undermines liberties
Pre-lockdown Britain was enjoying a protest renaissance. But rules designed to limit the spread of covid-19 have allowed police to crack down on protests econ.st/3cshws1
This is the intro to a special report I have written on The Future of Shopping, published this week. In a nutshell, shopping has a future, but the way we buy, market and make things will change. It is an upheaval not seen since the industrial revolution. It starts in China
