O futuro é africano

Some of you have heard me in the last few years telling stories about transfers of Chinese labor-intensive manufacturing activities to Africa, to Ethiopia in particular. Read here my former World Bank colleague - ex-Chief Economist - Justin Lin and Andrea Goldstein on it

Achieving an African Industrial Revolution

After decades in the slow lane, Africa's economy has had its foot on the accelerator, with impressive growth since the mid-2000s solidifying its potential as the global economy's next new growth engine. But sustaining rapid development will take…

Meu novo artigo sobre balanço comerical (Alemanha e Estados Unidos)

My new article at Mises

Which is Worse — A Trade Surplus or a Trade Deficit?

Germany is currently the country with the largest trade surplus, and many Germans think that this is a good thing. In the United States, the situation is the reverse. The US has the world’s largest trade deficit. It amounts to USD 502.25 billion for 2016.

Trump's ignorância sobre a economia

On some issues, Trump’s limited knowledge has justifiably scared people — nuclear weapons, for example. Last August, Think Progress published a list of “9 terrifying things Donald Trump has publicly said about nuclear weapons,” which betrayed his ignorance across a wide range of basic nuclear issues. But his equally ignorant bluster on economics hasn’t been noticed as much — even though it could also prove catastrophically destructive. Here are seven striking examples that should make his ignorance clear to all.

A economia não é uma máquina

Pointing out that the GDP machine isn’t a real machine, and that its levers, pedals, knobs, and buttons are largely imaginary fancies of arrogant imaginations, market-oriented economists invite the scorn of Engineering economists.

The Economy Isn't an Engineering Project

The engineering urge felt my many economists is a fool's errand.

Custo de manutenção also demais

Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Brazil's navy will decommission its sole aircraft carrier, Sao Paulo, after concluding the vessel's maintenance costs are too high. Navy officials made the decision to retire the aircraft carrier after studies revealed it would take 10 years to upgrade the ship. IHS Janes reports the country will make procuring a replacement the service's third-highest priority after its submarine and Tamandaré-class corvette programs. In the future, the navy plans to domestically construct two new aircraft carriers, each displacing roughly 50,000 tons at sea. According to Brazilian newspaper Estadão, Sao Paulo's demobilization process will begin immediately, and is expected to be complete by ...
