A new working paper finds that income rank increased by between 6 and 12.3 percent between fathers and sons in Norway after the roll-out of broadband.

Without federal preemption on AI regulations, states are rushing to impose audits, transparency mandates, and sector-specific obligations—often with overlapping or conflicting rules that extend beyond state borders.

The Trump administration doubled down on its push for the federal government to take financial stakes or other commercial interests in major U.S. companies—a policy that would weaken American competitiveness, invite political manipulation, and undermine the very goals of U.S. industrial strategy.

As of 2025, the goods trade deficit between the European Union and China has doubled since 2020, while it is 3.6 times greater in Germany. One driver of this imbalance may be Chinese currency manipulation, which has allowed Chinese firms to undercut the prices of European retailers.
