What would Kevin Warsh’s Federal Reserve look like? | The Economist
Kevin Warsh, Zanny Minton Beddoes, Edward Carr, Henry, Zannie, Archie
President Trump has nominated former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh as the next Chair, contingent on the White House removing a Senate blockade led by Senator Tom Tillis regarding the investigation into current Chair Jerome Powell. Warsh's proposed strategy, termed "Warshonomics," seeks to lower interest rates by coupling an anticipated AI-driven productivity surge with balance sheet contraction to offset inflationary risks, despite his historical reputation as a hawk. While experts predict Warsh will implement a slightly more dovish policy yielding one or two rate cuts, his ability to align the FOMC with President Trump's demands remains a significant governance risk complicated by potential political backlash.

The Upside of Aging: A Conversation in the Pavilion
David, Henry, Mark Friedman, Frida, Hasi, Perry, Barry
Facing a global demographic shift where the over-65 population will double and Alzheimer's cases triple, experts are calling for a systemic transition from a linear life model to one that leverages older adults as a generative resource. The event outlines critical strategies to bridge workforce shortages and health disparities through personalized medical interventions, financial reforms, and policies that integrate "encore careers" while addressing social infrastructure gaps. By reframing aging as a period of increased natural resource potential rather than decline, the discussion emphasizes democratizing extended health spans and creating structures that support meaningful contribution across diverse economic and geographic regions.
