My new paper has just been published in the latest edition of the Brazilian Journal of Political Economy. It is the first part of the research that Dr. Schutte (@epm_ufabc) and I have dedicated ourselves to in the last few years. centrodeeconomiapolitica.org.br/repojs/index.p…

Ha-Joon Chang is saying what needs to be said. But who wants an education system that encourages critical thinking and the development of real-world solutions? ft.com/content/9aabb4…
90 acuerdos comerciales en 90 días: esa fue la ambiciosa promesa de Donald Trump a sus votantes. Hasta ahora los resultados han sido modestos. Ante la falta de avances, Trump ha optado por recurrir a su nueva arma predilecta: los aranceles. #AfondoDW ▶️youtu.be/oTlXQ7y5j7s
Durante el debate de hoy en @dw_espanol, tuve la oportunidad de discutir los efectos y la política detrás de la decisión del gobierno estadounidense de imponer aranceles a otros países. Como mencioné durante el debate, Estados Unidos será el país más afectado por los aranceles.
Tariffs can once more give companies cover to raise prices without losing market share. Once this dynamic actually kicks in, it could become self-reinforcing. Yours truly on Trump’s inflation uptick @WSJ @DavidUberti
This is a disgrace, just old-fashioned imperialism. A 50% tariff because Brazil's legal system has defended democracy. And by the way, the US has a trade surplus with Brazil. cnbc.com/2025/07/09/tru…
🇨🇳🇧🇷 Mapa 1: projeto lançado pelo governo Dilma em 2015 com o primeiro ministro Li Keqiang Mapa 2: projeto apresentado pelo governo Lula com o primeiro ministro Li Qiang De se concretar, alterará a geopolítica regional de maneira substancial 🇺🇸 não ficará quieto
En el marco de la cumbre de los BRICS+ se anunció la construcción del corredor ferroviario Río de Janeiro - Chancay, con financiamiento de China. De concretarse, tendrá importantes consecuencias geoeconomicas y geopolíticas, al unir el Atlántico con el Pacífico. Alertas en EEUU
What a great first day of the @hetecon! Highlights included the presentations by Michael Roberts and Ho-fung Hung on China's unequal development, the hegemony of the dollar, and the limitations of RMB internationalisation.
Brazil's macro economy is strong: GDP growth leads G20, unemployment near historic low, poverty falling. But 43% cumulative food inflation since 2020 could threaten Lula's 2026 reelection. Time to expand the toolkit. @lauraabcarvalho & I propose a Food Price Observatory @folha.🧵
Next week I'll be there presenting my paper of the Geopolitics of FDI in the US-China rivalry
The conference program for 2025 annual conference at @KingsCollegeLon is now out. Join us for a discussion on issues of economic development, imperialism, Marx’s value theory, informality, feminist economics, ecological crisis, financialisation & more. hetecon.net/2025/05/30/ahe…
For weeks I've been predicting that Trump would retreat from 145% tariffs against China and like clockwork the Trump administration gave in and have started their reverse from tariffs. We now have a 90 day pause from both the US and China sides in this tariff war and here are 3…
BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇨🇳 United States cuts tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30% for 90 days. China lowers tariffs on US from 125% to 10% for 90 days.
China has built a dynamic that doesn't depend on the US and the West. And that is a game changer for the global political economy and international relations.

Der Trumpsche Handelskrieg gibt Südostasien und der EU Gelegenheit ihre Wirtschaftsbeziehungen mit China neu zu justieren. Dabei geht es allen Ländern darum den Moment der Neugestaltung der globalen Wirtschaftsordnung strategisch für sich zu nutzen. Mein Interview @ZDFheute
New book chapter published by Springer. In collaboration with João Pavanelli, Flavia Collaço, Mariah Carramillo and others, the chapter explores a new research agenda on the costs of energy transition. Soon be available at the following link link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…
This fantastic book is coming out next month. I co-authored a chapter in which we did a case study on energy poverty in Brazil, looking at the case of the state of Ceará, which gets most of its energy from wind. Looking forward to it link.springer.com/book/978303180…
The EU and Germany have become dependent on the US for energy supplies. Data show that since the war and sanctions against Russia began, the US has become the largest supplier of LNG, replacing Russian gas, which was cheaper and more efficient.
Virada geopolítica e periferialização da Europa
A PepsiCo superfaturou em até 1.750% os itens da proposta do Largo da Batata. É inacreditável a falta de vergonha da empresa e a conivência da prefeitura. Confira no fio os valores apresentados versus a realidade:
