AXIOS (Courtenay Brown) - How global economic imbalances resemble an ancient parable
The global economy faces the types of massive imbalances that preceded previous crises — despite important differences — and it's not yet clear how this debt cycle will end.

AXIOS (Avery Lotz) - Why the Ebola outbreak is worrying public health officials
The ongoing Ebola surge has public health experts anxious about the world's capacity to contain its spread. The big picture: Ebola epidemics aren't new, but the current outbreak has been identified as the rare Bundibugyo strain, which has no vaccine, and is located in a populated, mobile and conflict-stricken part of the world. - Thirty cases have been confirmed in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), while two confirmed cases, including one death, have been recorded in Uganda from people who traveled from the DRC, WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Monday. - There are more than 500 suspected cases and 130 suspected deaths, he said.

AXIOS (Maria Curi) - Trump administration doubles down on Anthropic blacklisting in court arguments
The Trump administration defended its designation of Anthropic as a supply chain risk in oral arguments in federal court Tuesday, even as it actively tries to figure out how it can adopt its most powerful model yet, Mythos, to combat cyber threats. Why it matters: Treating a U.S. company as a national security threat while looking to use its technology to combat foreign adversaries is an awkward needle to thread. Catch up quick: The Pentagon claims it's unworkable for the military or its vendors to rely on Anthropic because the company might pull the plug at any time due to its "ideological" views around AI safety. - Unlike other model-makers, Anthropic refused to agree to the Pentagon's "all lawful use" standard for AI deployment. -…
