Foreign Affairs As Iran War Spirals, Trump Can’t Fool Markets Forever The president has tried to contain economic turmoil by creating a false impression of diplomatic progress. One of the most bizarre contradictions of Trump’s war on Iran has been the wide gap between the scale of the war’s disruption to energy infrastructure and shipping and the surprisingly muted response from financial markets. Iran has made clear that its strategy is to impose severe economic pain on the United States, Israel, and the wider global system by keeping the Strait of Hormuz shut. If that threat were being fully priced in, argues the author Matt Stoller on Substack this week, oil prices would likely be far higher and equities far lower. Instead,…Open

Political Asylum Capitalism Has Its Uses—Bernie Says So Plus: staring Zoomers and a fresh war. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) want to impose a 5 percent wealth tax on billionaires, which seems predictable enough.

Sanders and Khanna, of course, won’t pocket any of the money themselves, but that’s okay. They already make $174,000 a year, hardly a princely sum these days, but more than most Americans take home. Their pay also comes, of course, from taxes—these paid by everyone, not just billionaires. Bernie, even on…Open

Foreign Affairs Pakistan’s Big Moment The only Islamic nuclear power is in an unusually commanding position following the outbreak of the Iran War. Pakistan has never been a country credited with strong civilian institutions or good long term thinking. The country is nominally led by the unpopular Shehbaz Sharif, who answers to the Chief of Defense Forces Asim Munir, who holds the real power. Sharif was empowered after his predecessor, Imran Khan, ran afoul of the general. Khan wound up in prison and Sharif wound up in charge. This wasn’t out of the ordinary for Pakistan. In the almost 80 years that the country has existed, more than 20 people have served as prime minister. Not one has completed a full term. Despite this remarkable…Open
