"America, América" by @GregGrandin already was one of the best history books about the region. Now it is also an urgent one. I wrote about that and discussed the idea of Latin America and its "immanent critique" to the U.S. "Thirty Yards from Revolution" www.theideasletter.org/essay/thirty...

On Tuesday, Norway “paused” the work of the ethics council of its sovereign wealth fund, so it can keep its cozy relationship w/ Israel & big tech. For those interested, Ecozon@ just published what I wrote on Norwegian identity and it’s entanglement with oil&extractivism. ecozona.eu/article/view...

Scott Bessent (and Summers before him) sees that the battle for the U.S. soul is in Latin America, between their liberal allies and even the most modesta ttempts for empathy and social reform. Banks and carriers, or welfare and joy. He got the song wrong, but the clash right.
