American followers can order this now. Out in less than a week.
I’d really appreciate it if they did.

Trade wars are never solely about economics, as the Anglo-Irish tariff war of the 1930s reminds us.

Oh Canada! This week we're chasing Nazis from the Atlantic to the Pacific as we watch Powell and Pressburger's Oscar-winning 49th Parallel. Will @DuncanWeldon crash the pod simply to annoy @RobDotHutton? Will @terrystiastny be able to make peace? Listen where you get your pods.

Genuinely think IMF WEO titles are the best six monthly snapshot of elite economic vibes.
Translating this as ‘quite confusing but feels bad’.

Throughly enjoyed @Birdyword’s The Land Trap.
Delighted to have had an early copy.

Honestly: a British accent gets you so far in the US.
The career choices of so many friends make so much more sense after a couple of days.

Would clearly be a massive shame to be in this time zone and not mention that Blood & Treasure is out in the US on Jan 6th.
And that you can - and should - pre order it now.

Anyway… if you are the sort of person that writes reviews… please drop me a DM and I’ll see about getting you a copy.
