Interesting substack on what it means to support local companies and Made in Britain - through the back story of the expensive casual wardrobe of Andy Burnham.

👕 It might just look like yet another silly season story. But the furore over Andy Burnham's casual-wear actually tells you rather a lot about the architecture of the economy around us, and the profound challenges facing anyone wanting to change it👇 edconway.substack.com/p/what-andy-...

What Andy Burnham's £80 T-shirt really tells us

This isn't just a story about expensive clothes. It's about where things are made, about why you can't really trust what it says on the label and about what happens after the "end of geography"

A very good read. Particularly resonates with my area of chip design. I met some missile makers at a trade show recently and they saw my deterministic CPU design and said “good, we aren’t allowed to use software because of this, we have to use FPGAs”. But the UK doesn’t make FPGAs.

✍️A TNT shortage, a world at war and why an obscure factory next to a Sheffield fast fashion warehouse could help explain how to reindustrialise Britain. An essay on the new Chancellor, the old Chancellor and whether anyone can actually turn our economy around👇 edconway.substack.com/p/the-factor...

The number of global economic inter-dependencies is probably close to infinite. Individual ones may provoke panic in particular countries at particular times, but self-sufficiency doesn't work either, and governments have a poor record of predicting what will be crucial.

Interesting and relevant reading on the state of the world and our lack of resources and industry. I'll take @edconway.bsky.social up on his podcast 👍 "Somehow, [in WW1] Britain had gone to war with a country which was also the main provider of the key chemical it needed to fight that country"

Material World is the book I have most often recommended to friends in recent years and my school assembly on the Glass Famine is the talk of my local pub.

📽️ It's arguably the biggest issue facing humanity. A precipitous fall in birth rates across the world. But why's it happening and how worried should we be? V privileged to have the legendary @jburnmurdoch.ft.com join me at the big screen to help explain👇https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5x1IMo4AW4
