Quite possibly, the opinion in Le Monde (see below) by French economist Thomas Piketty is wishful thinking. Nevertheless, I agree with its title: Rethinking the world without the US.

In March 2018, I wrote about the simplicity bias, part-1 to part-5. It took me some months before I realised everything is getting more complex (eg, in life, nature, universe). In September 2018, I started writing on the complexity bias (1). Many episodes followed (eg, part-14 in 2024). Today, starts part-15. Early April 2025, Quanta published this article: Why...

In March 2017, I started writing on The Trump-Bannon Revolution: Disruption, Chaos & Destruction. Five more parts followed in this blog series. In 2018, it ended with Trump’s revolution of disruption, chaos and destruction (6). I suppose the 2025 Trump Administration will continue with its disruption, chaos and destruction by his most controversial (nominated)...
Intro LO: I'm surprised by this American news as reality in the Netherlands is only showing more retail bankruptcies and more real estate vacancies. Considering the never-ending gun violence in or nearby American shopping malls, I’m a little skeptic about this Axios article. Perhaps, the retail apocalypse predictions ignored business shifts.
