An American purchase of Greenland could be the deal of the century
Subscribe to enjoy similar stories. Although America has a history of taking a commercial approach to international relations, purchases are rarely made without controversy. When Thomas Jefferson bought Louisiana in 1803, doubling the size of the country, he had to set aside his zest for constitutional constructivism, which would have ruled out such bold federal action.

Schrodinger’s Cat and the case for paranoid optimism under Trump 2.0
Subscribe to enjoy similar stories. The year 2025 is really like any other, only more so: It deserves to be greeted with what one of my former editors calls “paranoid optimism." Optimism is in order because the world, chaotic as it currently looks, might get better—and yes, in part because a new American president, Donald Trump, could tackle problems in such mind-bogglingly unorthodox ways that breakthroughs become conceivable. The paranoia is called for because the world is complicated, with dangerous feedback loops hidden inside today’s “polycrisis." And a leader as proudly unpredictable as Trump might inadvertently blow it all up.

Asian shares kicks off New Year after ominous end to 2024
Asian stocks were primed to begin the New Year on a cautious note after an inauspicious end to an otherwise stellar 2024 for global equity investors. Futures on benchmarks in Shanghai declined after mainland Chinese gauges tumbled in December’s final day of trading. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indexes dropped for a fourth consecutive session in a year-end pullback that shaved more than a trillion dollars from large-cap market values.
