Trump appointee leading $205bn US agency had personal ties to Epstein, emails show
Black has a limited track record in emerging markets, according to public records. His New York-based private equity firm, Fortinbras Enterprises, opened an outpost in the United Arab Emirates in 2024, where Black helped open a branch of his family’s office the same year. (His father, Leon, was the subject of a Senate investigation into his dealings with Epstein at the time.)
“He is not qualified to do this, for sure,” a former DFC director said of Black. “It does make you wonder, you know – why is he in that role?”…

Trump NEW SCHEME Revealed as he COLLAPSES IT ALL
The summer economic data releases have been a disaster under Trump.
- Downward revisions on prior jobs reports on top of soft hiring for July.
- Inflation is rearing its ugly head in various parts of the economy.
- A growing housing affordability crisis. Loss of confidence in long-term treasuries.
- The only reason the stock market continues to perform is because foreign investors and U.S. corporations are propping up share prices because there are fewer and fewer places to find a return on investment.

Opinion | Biden’s lasting legacy might be in private-sector investment - The Washington Post
"If you want an economic vision that inures most directly to the benefit of working and middle-class Americans, the Democrats' approach has unquestionably been superior. The proof will come in a few months, when Trump and his MAGA sycophants begin touting the very same economy they now disparage. Just remember that the massive growth, job creation and international advantages — including new infrastructure, manufacturing plants and jobs dotting red America — are the result of an agenda most Republicans — especially the MAGA set — railed against..."

Real estate faces climate change risks. This investor is betting on it. - The Washington Post
Their argument: As Americans wake up to the threat of climate change, the value of homes in risky markets will begin to slide.

Why This Economist Wants to Give Every Poor Child $50,000 (Ezra Klein Show podcast)
“Wealth is the paramount indicator of economic prosperity and well-being,” says the economist Darrick Hamilton. He’s right. Policy analysis tends to focus on income, but it is wealth that often determines whether we can send our kids to college, pay for an illness, quit a job, start a business or make a down payment on a home. Wealth is also the source of some of our deepest social inequalities: The top 10 percent of households in the U.S. own about 70 percent of the nation’s wealth, and the typical Black family has about one-tenth the wealth of the typical white family.
Hamilton is an economist at the New School who has spent decades studying the origins of the United States’ wealth disparities and how to close them. His “baby bonds” proposal — which would give poor children up to $50,000 in wealth by the time they become adults — has been put forward as national legislation by politicians like Senator Cory Booker and Representative Ayanna Pressley, and a state-level version of it is about to be established in Connecticut. So I asked him on the show to walk me through the structure of wealth in America today, the policy decisions undergirding that structure and the kinds of policies we could pass to dismantle it.

Opinion | The New Climate Law Is Working. Clean Energy Investments Are Soaring. - The New York Times
The investment appetite is defying geographic and political boundaries. From Oklahoma and Ohio to North Carolina and Nevada, new investment is breathing economic life into communities that have seen their economies decline. This is in part because the I.R.A. provides an explicit incentive to invest in places with contaminated industrial sites, communities with a significant economic reliance on traditional fossil fuel production or those with shuttered coal mines or coal-fired power plants...
