Trump’s transaction cost presidency (Policy Forum)

For Trump, business and politics are a universe of “winners” and “losers,” “weak” and “tough.” According to this market-based worldview, players have only themselves to blame for losing; competition rewards the tough and punishes the…

National elections and the new American city-state (Chicago Council on Global Affairs)

Managing air pollution in Asia (China Daily, The Times of India, and The Economic Times)

Now is the time for domestic constituents, environmental watchdogs and policy experts to advocate more aggressively for good-faith policy intervention. There is neither economic growth nor political stability without public health. Leaders in the world’s…
