a€oewestern corea€D that travels so far across the ages, while the a€oeeastern corea€D remains two
neighboring river valleys? In what sense is it the a€cecorea€D of a a€oecivilizational
traditiona€D? That Victorian Englishmen thought they wanted to be and claimed they were the sole
legitimate heirs of Cicero and Demosthenes is interesting, but does not make it
so:

OA%er Things Azt Went Whizzing bya€!
Very Briefly Noted:
• Economist: These are The Economista€™ s best books of 2022: a€~Slouching Towards Utopia. By J.
Bradford DeLonga€!. Written with wit, style and a formidable command of detail, this book places
the successes and disasters of the 20th century in their economic context. In doing so, it provides
insights into how things have gone wrong in more recent yearsa€”and what must go right if
catastrophe is to be avoided in the current centurya€l
• Wikipedia: Aneutronic fusiona€!
• Noah Smith: The dream of bringing back Bell Labs: a€~Was America's most famous corporate lab a
product of its time, or something that can be reproduced?a€l
• Nate Cohn: Turnout by Republicans Was Great. Ita€™ s Just That Many of Them Didna€™ t Vote for
Republicans: a€~No, the main G.O.P. problem wasna€™t prioritizing Election Day voting over early
votinga€!
• Yuan Yang: We need an honest east-west discussion about industrial policy: a€~Europe and the US
are breaking a taboo that east Asia was never afraid ofa€l
• Sam Feldman: Brave vs. Chrome: Which Browser is Better?a€l
• Zvi Mowshowitz: Sadly, FTX: a€~I have seen claims [Alameda] actually lost all the money that was
made on the Japan trade through bad trades and recklessness, and that Sam was taking insane risks
all over the place, including a likely disregard for legal risks and structures. He was definitely
posting Twitter threads justifying exceeding the Kelly criteriona€l
• Alexandra Scaggs: Labor markets look good. US manufacturing does nota€l
• J.M. Berger: My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M: a€~As long as A.I. is
created first for verisimilitude, wea€™re going to have this problem, an arms race to see who can
develop the most convincing generative liar. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? To its credit, ChatGPT
will tell you the truth about itself when asked. Unfortunately, too many people are willing to rush
right past its statement of identitya€l
• John Halpin: More Emotions, Fewer Statistics: a€~Politicians are unable to connect with most
Americans because they dona€™t experience economic anxiety on a regular basis...
• Meghan MacPherson: Trump's call to suspend Constitution not a 2024 deal-breaker, leading House
Republican says: a€~Republican Ohio Rep. Dave Joyce said Sunday that... Trump's comment should be
taken "in context" but that it wouldn't prevent him from supporting Trump if he ends up winning the
nomination...

AJs:
Diane Coyle: The Double Transformation: a€~The worlda€™ s advanced economies are in the midst of
dual structural transformations^I digitalizationa€l [and] the shift to a carbon-neutral economya€l.
For four decades, the prevailing view among economists has been thata€l the statea€l sets the legal
framework, builds infrastructure, and funds basic research, while the private sector innovates and
creates wealtha€l. xisting antitrust-enforcement frameworks
are ill-equipped to address the challenges posed by winner-takes-all digital marketsa€l. The
net-zero transitiona€l. Competition policy typically opposes companies sharing information with
each othera€l. [But] sharing data among firms is essential to reducing waste, increasing energy
efficiency across supply chains, enabling autonomous-vehicle adoption and efficient transport
management, and reducing entry barriers in digital marketsa€l. Policymakers must
be careful when weighing the strategic benefits of technocratic competition and industrial
policiesa€l
Andrew Marvell: An Horatian Ode upon Cromwella€™ s Return from Ireland: a€~Though justice against
fate complain/And plead the ancient rights in vain;/But those do hold or break/As men are strong or
weak./Nature that hateth emptiness/Allows of penetration less/And therefore must make room/Where
greater spirits comea€l
Chance: When the 'Chute Fails: a€~Elon Musk and Donald Trumpa€l have in commona€l a willingness to
flout rulesa€l. In many circumstances throughout history, businesses and individuals chose to do
what they had contracted to do, not because there was no feasible way out of the deal, but because
it made sense to just be a person of integrity. The rules that might be voted a€oeMost Likely to be
Flouteda€D in high school superlative terms are generally
those enforced by societal, reputational, and policy pressures a€” not by strong, bright-line
consequences or rigid and swift application of the legal systema€l. Although ita€™ s not news that
Musk fired Parag Agrawal, Vijaya Gadde, and Ned Segal a€oefor causea€D on October 26th, just as he
was closing the merger, it does seem that it should be newsworthy to note that two months later,
Musk appears to have taken the further step of withholding their
contractually-owed golden parachute paymentsa€l. In Form 4 filings made with the SEC on Friday,
December 2nd, Agrawal, Gadde, and Segal went on record with the amounts they believe are owed to
them under the terms of their severance agreementsa€I.It appears that the unvested portions (both
in Issuer RSUs and Issuer PSUs) have not been paid outa€l
Greg Olear: The Founding-Fatherization of Adam Smith (with Glory M. Liu): How did an eccentric
Scottish philosopher become an icon of American free market capitalism?'. a€~As Liu recounts in her
book, Adam Smitha€™ s hallowed name has been invoked in recent years by Barack Obama, on the left,
and on the right, Arthur Brooks of the American Enterprise Institute. The fact that this long-dead
Scottish moral philosopher can be credibly used in such a
way reveals a€oehow we have come to depend on Smith for ways to think our way out of our current
predicaments,a€U she writes. a€oeWe have become so confined by our hope that capitalism must
survive, that we have to a€~get it right,a€™ that, rather than seeking out its alternatives, we
insist that its lifelines lay in the body of work that Adam Smith created more than two and a half
centuries agoa€Da€l
