War → energy shock → inflation. This time: Iran. But we saw this already after Russia invaded Ukraine. Back then, the shock ignited some big debates on monetary autonomy and dollar dominance In a new paper w/@palmapolyak.bsky.social we go back to that moment. A short thread👇

In 1989, Orban rose to fame with speech at Heroes Square leading a youth movement calling for democracy & for the Russians to leave Hungary. Last night, thousands of youth gathered at Heroes square chanting “Russians go home” about Orban & his Putin serving, autocratic regime. Things go full circle

My take on what the Hungarian election means for Hungary, the EU, Trump, and Putin on @pbsnews.org www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

When discussing EU industrial policy, the focus often starts- and ends-with its limited fiscal capacity, esp vs China or US. But that’s not the whole story... For the role of regulation, open access 👉https://www.cogitatiopress.com/politicsandgovernance/article/view/11412

Can Péter Magyar win a deeply rigged election? Would Orbán leave power—and would anything change even if he did? How did we even get here, and why, against all odds, do we still cling to hope? I wrote up my (admittedly messy) thoughts ahead of April 12 brettoninthewoods.substack.com/p/can-hungar...

A remarkably blunt statement from #Powell showing how serious the challenge to #Fed independence is “The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Fed setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the president.”

US prosecutors launch criminal investigation into Federal Reserve’s Jay Powell

Central bank chair hits back and says grand jury subpoenas are retaliation for refusal to bow to demand to cut interest rates

Welcome new RIPErs! Wonderful to see the editorial board grow. And huge thanks to the outgoing editors: there are never enough words to thank them for their thoughtful, committed work and care for the journal. @ripejournal.bsky.social is stronger today because of them

RIPE enters 2026 with an editorial transition. Huge thanks to outgoing team @juanitamarieelias.bsky.social, @skostem.bsky.social, Kevin Young & Hongying Wang! In the next few days, we’ll introduce new editors: @johannespetry.bsky.social, @alibhagat.bsky.social, Ida Bastiaens & @mbabic.bsky.social.

Our takeaway? Framing based on threat has historically lessened public scrutiny & increased the leeway for public & private action, so this rhetorical turn further raises the stakes around democratic accountability in the EU. As the EU faces a changed world, democracy is even more important. FIN/
