How does the agriculture industry shape what our food consumption looks like? In my first-ever FT film, #Homecoming, the crew and I traveled the country exploring the problems of Big Ag, and how we can fix our food systems. Watch here: ft.com/HomecomingFilm

Replying to @matthewstoller
It's stunning how out of touch most economists are with how business actually works. Or in this case, geopolitics. If you are a country today with no ability to make crucial goods or access them from allied nations, God help you.

@Ocasio2018 is absolutely correct to take on Amazon; subsidies paid by cities to large companies aren't the way to real growth. See my latest on Amazon, here: ft.com/content/86426b… via @FinancialTimes
Amazon’s pricing tactic is a trap for buyers and sellers alike

Thank you to @TheJusticeDept @NewYorkFBI and @NYPDCT for protecting @AlinejadMasih, my children's stepmother. We are one family. My children walked in and out of the house where she was the target of murder for speaking out against the Iranian regime. None of us will be silent.

My message to Iran’s regime who hired 3 criminals to kill me on US soil is clear; I don't want to talk to them. I want to see them on the international court. But I have a clear message to president Biden”. Please hear and pass it to the administration.

What do Boeing, the collapsed bridge in Baltimore, shortages of critical pharmaceuticals, Donald Trump's ridiculous new SPAC, an unprecedented amount of speculation and concentration in stock markets have in common? We need more real engineering, less financial engineering

Thanks for having me. The idea that Elon Musk can turn on or off communications to countries at will is too much power for one man. It’s just one example but oligarchic states are fragile and antithetical to democracy

As we've moved into the 21st century, one thing has become abundantly clear: the 1% are getting richer and the gap between them and everyone else is only growing. Check out my FT film #Homecoming, based on my new book, for more. Watch here: ft.com/HomecomingFilm

Disaster if she fires Khan. Would be terrible policy and visuals, especially since JD Vance has praised her. Tackling corporate power has been the center of Bidenomics and Harris needs to reaffirm that

I am definitely skittish about this but when I mentioned this to my brother in law he pointed out that lots of people ignore the politics of brothers in law. Going with the Goliaths would be epically depressing, especially to drivers, workers, consumers, crushed by them.

Most painful 90 minutes ever. Biden has done so much but can’t message it. Trump is toxic but has animal spirits. The only question now is whether Democrats will pick a new candidate.

Kamala Harris must reaffirm her commitment to Bidenomics via @FT She’s strong but the optics of being too close to Big Tech and Wall Street put her at risk of falling into the Hillary trap on.ft.com/3yhnfQi

The speech that @POTUS is giving right now is going to remembered as a turning point. Corporate concentration has been rising for nearly half century. That may be set to change. Commenting shortly on @cnn
