Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said every person held at Florida’s Alligator Alcatraz immigration detention facility has been issued a final order saying they must be deported. With the conditions of his state’s quickly-erected facility under scrutiny, DeSantis told reporters that each detainee had gone through a process to determine they cannot legally remain in the U.S. “Everybody here is already on a final removal order,” DeSantis said during a July 25 press conference outside the Everglades facility. He repeated the statement in a July 29 speech to the Florida Sheriff’s Association. “The people that are going to the Alligator Alcatraz…
In my first year of grad school, one of my professors had a long list of “forbidden words”. These were terms that do more to confuse than enlighten when used in economic analysis. Terms like “need”, “afford”, “exploits”, “vicious circle”, etc. Today, I’ll argue that we might wish to add the term “must” to that list. Brian Albrecht has an outstanding new post that nicely illustrates the problem: This approach eliminates human choice entirely. [Michael] Pettis treats markets as foreigners imposing their will: “the United States has no choice but to run a corresponding trade deficit.” Capital flows are…

The Golden State Warriors are looking for a “good player” and an unprotected first-round pick in exchange for Jonathan Kuminga, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. “The Warriors have been defiant. They want a good player, they also want an unprotected first-round pick, a good first round pick,” said Charania. Charania adds that the Kings have offered a conditional first-round pick and a rotation player for Kuminga, with the Warriors wanting the Kings to remove the protections from the pick. With the Suns not having a first-round pick to trade, their offer would consist of 1-2 rotation players and second-round…

On July 15, five of China’s most prominent private-sector entrepreneurs sat shoulder to shoulder at a press conference in Beijing hosted by the State Council, the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) ruling body. Above their heads, a banner enjoined them to “carry forward the entrepreneurial spirit” and to serve as “excellent builders of socialism with Chinese characteristics.” One after another, they spoke of innovation, social responsibility, and their gratitude to the state. Their remarks were punctuated by phrases like “broad prospects,” “great potential,” and “just the right time”—rhetorical markers closely associated with Xi-era political discourse. Our analysis of China’s official government…
The Bureau of Economic Analysis announced today that seasonally adjusted U.S. real GDP grew at a 3.0% annual rate in the second quarter. I have some concerns, but it looks better than many economists had been anticipating. Quarterly real GDP growth at an annual rate, 1947:Q2-2025:Q2, with the historical average since 1947 (3.1%) in blue. Calculated as 400 times the difference in the natural log of real GDP from the previous quarter. With the new numbers the Econbrowser recession indicator index is up to 11.7%. This primarily reflects the drop in GDP that we observed in the first quarter. The…
