Europe 2.0, Beyond Brussels: The End Of The European Union As We Know It Authored by Frank-Christian Hansel via American Greatness, Europe has reached the end of an era. Not the end of its history, but the end of its false form. For decades, the European Union served as the great substitute project of a continent that no longer dared to think politically. It promised peace without power, order without a people, unity without roots, and prosperity without cost. That was its founding lie, and it was a lie from the very beginning. Political order does not grow out of procedural routines, commission papers, or moral self-incantation. It grows out of peoples, interests, borders, loyalties, and the willingness to defend what is one’s own. Legitimate authority rests on a people and its consent, not on an apparatus and its expertise. That older idea—that government draws its life from the governed rather than from the competence of its administrators—is precisely what Brussels has spent two generations trying to administer away. That is why today’s EU is not the high point of European history but its bureaucratic state of exhaustion. It is too centralized to be free and too artificial to be binding. It commands an immense body of rules and possesses no sustaining political soul. It has institutions, but not the kind of historically grown legitimacy that holds a community together across generations. And so it answers every crisis with the same reflex: more centralization, more redistribution, more standardization, more discipline. What is sold as the solution is only the problem enlarged. Europe is not failing because there is too little Brussels. Europe is failing because there is too much Brussels. It is failing because of a political class that no longer sees the continent as a historical space but as an object of administration. It is failing because of an ideology that treats every organically grown difference as a defect and therefore regards peoples, traditions, and ...

资源、环境、人口协调发展的中国方案，不仅为自身可持续发展奠定坚实的基础，国际影响力也堪称卓越。 6月5日是世界环境日，中国治理环境的成就近年来尤其引人注目。今年我国环境日主题为“全面绿色转型，共建美丽中国”。在和国际智库同行交流中，笔者发现“生态文明建设功在当代、利在千秋”的中国理念已经流传深远。而笔者在国内调研中，更感知这一理念深入人心且已经形成新质生产力且在“十四五”期间带来了财富效应。可以说，资源、环境、人口协调发展的中国方案，不仅为自身可持续发展奠定坚实的基础，国际影响力也堪称卓越。 锁边合龙：生态红利加速释放 今年6月6日是我国三北工程攻坚战全面启动三周年。国家统计局的最新数据令人鼓舞：三大标志性生态战役即河西走廊—塔克拉玛干沙漠边缘阻击战（下称“阻击战”），黄河几字弯攻坚战，科尔沁、浑善达克两大沙地歼灭战，均已取得重要成果。 三年来，曾被国际生态学家和智库称为“死亡之海”的土地发生了深刻变化：在塔克拉玛干沙漠边缘3046公里防护带锁边“合龙”基础上，稳步扩边938万亩，锁边宽度增至110米到7500米不等；横亘在沙漠与绿洲之间的绿色长城和生态屏障已然成型。沙漠边缘建成的罗布麻、沙漠玫瑰等特色种植基地，带动30余万人就业。可以说：塔克拉玛干沙漠锁边合龙带来了生活环境的显著改善，当地群众从“守沙发愁”变为“靠沙致富”且案例极丰富。 据中国科学院新疆生态与地理研究所研究员、新疆“三北工程”攻坚战专家组组长陈亚宁介绍：“锁边”是在沙漠边缘种树、种草、设置沙障如草方格等方式，形成一道绿色或工程性防护带，以固定流沙，阻止沙漠向外扩张。而“合龙”则指锁边工程全线贯通，即形成完整的闭环。他表示：“这不仅是工程上的奇迹，更是中国在生态保护、科技创新与全球责任履行上的一次开创性实践，其价值超越了单一工程本身。” 需要指出的是：这一气势磅礴的生态工程，同时是一项发展工程和富民工程；它为当地高质量发展提供了更加稳固的生态基础。在阻击战中，治沙与产业发展深度结合，催生了特色种植等多种“治沙+产业”新模式，推动绿洲农业、特色林果业、特色旅游业和乡村振兴。 阻击战重点区域有21个县市，“十四五”末成就斐然。如和田地区民丰县，采用“工程治沙+生物治沙”叠加治理模式，完成治沙面积70余万亩，通过“划地到村、确权到户”机制，实现治沙与致富协调发展。而于田县作为阻击战主战场之一，当地通过探索...

美国关税政策、美元意外贬值及其与风险资产价格相关关系逆转，引发投资者对冲现有头寸来应对美元贬值风险，是推高全球外汇交易量的关键因素。 国际清算银行（BIS）每三年一度的中央银行外汇和场外衍生品市场调查是了解全球外汇和场外利率衍生品市场规模和结构的最全面信息来源。2025年4月，BIS启动了第十四次调查，初步数据于同年9月30日发布，最终数据于同年12月随BIS季度报告一同发布。现结合2025年4月全球外汇日均交易数据（正文中的交易规模均指各调查年份4月份日均交易规模），分析全球外汇交易格局新变化以及人民币外汇交易新进展，并从中得出对中国外汇市场发展和国际货币体系演进的启示。 全球外汇交易格局新变化 1.美元和人民币交易份额齐升。 2025年4月，全球场外市场日均外汇交易规模为9.5万亿美元，较上个调查年度2022年4月增长27%。其中，美元交易规模继续居于首位，增长28%至8.5万亿美元，占比上升0.7个百分点至89.1%（一笔交易涉及两种货币，因此所有货币交易份额之和为200%），创2004年4月以来新高。排在美元之后的三大交易货币分别是欧元、日元和英镑，其中：日元份额为16.9%，与2019年4月、2022年4月份额基本相当；欧元和英镑份额分别降至28.5%、10.2%，前者创历史新低，后者创1998年4月以来新低。人民币保持了全球第五大外汇交易货币的地位，其份额较2022年4月上升1.6个百分点至8.6%，创历史新高，与第四大外汇交易货币——英镑的差距由5.9降至1.6个百分点（见图1）。 从国际货币基金组织（IMF）披露的外汇储备币种构成看，2022~2025年美元外汇储备份额累计下降2.6个百分点至56.8%，反映存量角度的“去美元化”正在进行时。然而，同期环球同业银行金融电讯协会（SWIFT）统计的美元年均国际支付份额上升7.0个百分点至48.3%，与BIS外汇交易的抽样调查结果一致，均反映出流量角度的“去美元化”不进反退。可见，不同角度观察到的国际货币体系多极化发展趋势不尽相同，对于全球“去美元化”要避免过度解读。 2.关税政策驱动全球外汇交易规模激增。 2025年4月全球外汇交易规模增加主要由即期和远期交易驱动，两类产品交易规模分别较2022年4月增长了42%、51%至3.0万亿、1.7万亿美元，分别贡献了全球外汇交易规模增幅的42%、29%。同期，...

日本中产阶级面临工资实际增长乏力、人口老龄化、货币贬值和劳动力市场分层等多重压力。 日本经济曾在20世纪80年代末展现出惊人的活力，被称为“经济奇迹”。1989年，东京股市日经指数接近39000点，房地产价格飙升，企业提供终身雇佣制、年功序列晋升和丰厚福利。新毕业生签约奖金足以购买新车，企业补贴住房，社会流动性强，中产阶级财富迅速积累。然而，进入21世纪后，这一模式逐渐演变为长期停滞。2026年，日本中产阶级面临工资实际增长乏力、人口老龄化、货币贬值和劳动力市场分层等多重压力。 工资停滞陷阱与双层劳动力市场 日本工资长期停滞是中产阶级萎缩的核心表现。1997年平均年收入峰值约为467万日元。2026年，国家税务局数据显示平均年薪约为478万日元，名义上略有回升，但扣除通胀后实际工资增长有限。2025年实际工资连续多年收缩，全年下降1.3%，尽管名义工资增长约2.3%，但被3.2%左右的物价上涨抵消。2026年上半年，名义工资增长延续春斗成果（约5%），但实际工资改善有限，仍未完全恢复前期损失。 资产泡沫在上世纪90年代初破裂后，企业进入资产负债表衰退阶段。为避免大规模裁员（社会与法律障碍较大），它们优先保护现有正式员工，同时转向非正规雇佣以控制成本。90年代初，非正规工人（兼职、合同工、派遣工）占比约16.4%，到2024~2025年，这一比例升至约36.8%~37.2%。非正规工人薪资通常仅为正式员工的60%~70%，福利和晋升机会有限。女性非正规就业比例更高，达53.4%左右。 这种双层结构保护了老年正式员工，却牺牲了年轻一代。企业保留利润创纪录：2024财年企业留存收益达637万亿日元，2025~2026年继续维持高位。工会入会率降至16%左右，工人议价能力弱化。结果是，尽管失业率维持在2.5%~2.6%左右的低位，但就业质量下降。低收入群体难以维持中产生活标准，导致消费疲软和内需不足。中小企业占就业约70%，在全球化竞争下难以转嫁成本，而大型出口商利润虽高，却未有效转化为广泛工资增长。工资停滞加剧收入不平等，基尼系数隐含压力增大。 从宏观视角看，这一模式反映了日本企业“防御性”策略的长期代价。双层劳动力市场虽在短期稳定了就业，但抑制了整体生产率提升和消费动力。2026年，劳动市场紧俏推动部分工资上调，但非正规就业占比高企限制了溢出效应，年轻人和女性群体受影响...

未来真正的挑战，不在于岗位总量是否减少，而在于AI进步的速度是否超过社会适应的速度。 近年来，AI的迅猛发展在全球引发了一场关于“人类是否会被机器全面取代”的热烈讨论。在美国，此轮技术浪潮中，“AI就业末日论”一度甚嚣尘上，从初级白领的失业恐慌到“人类绝大多数事务将不再需要人类”的悲观预言，焦虑迅速蔓延至全美社会各个层面。 然而，随着AI技术的落地应用与商业化实践的深入，这场激烈的争论正逐步趋向理性。从科技巨头CEO的理性修正，到经典经济学分析与实证研究，都显示：大规模、永久性的“AI就业末日”并不会到来。AI正在改变工作的性质，而非简单地消除岗位。 三位科技领袖的观点：从危言到理性修正 在这一讨论中，美国三位具有代表性的企业领袖——高盛CEO戴维·所罗门、英伟达CEO黄仁勋、OpenAI CEO萨姆·奥尔特曼——分别从不同角度对“AI就业末日论”提出理性反驳。虽然他们的侧重点有所不同，但都达成了一个核心共识：大规模、永久性失业既非必然，也不符合当前事实。 戴维·所罗门在其专栏中明确表态，将自己归入“AI将推动社会巨大进步”的阵营。他称，未来十年，AI能自动完成的工作量，约相当于人类25%的工作时间，但这并不意味着会消灭25%的岗位。他判断：当工具变得更先进时，工作的复杂性也会随之提升。正如Excel、电子邮件和Zoom的普及并未减少工作量，反而推动任务结构复杂化。所罗门认为，AI固然会重塑白领职业（如会计、银行、法律、软件工程、客服）中的重复性任务，但其本质是改变工作性质，而非简单消灭岗位。同时，美国经济历经多次技术冲击仍能创造新就业机会，从20世纪初电气化到上世纪90年代的数字革命皆是例证，这一动力在今天同样存在。 黄仁勋在接受媒体采访时直接反驳了将AI与失业挂钩的观点，“很多企业领导把AI与失业挂钩，不过是掩饰自身懒惰的借口。AI才刚刚开始普及，怎么可能已经造成大规模裁员”。他进一步表示，AI六个月前才真正进入实用阶段，而部分公司的裁员早在两年前就已启动，这在时间逻辑上并不合理。黄仁勋认为，部分CEO以AI之名“显得自己很有远见”，实则在制造恐慌，缺乏责任感。AI创造的新工作量往往与被替代的工作量相当，近期企业的裁员潮（如标准渣打银行计划至2030年裁撤数千岗位、Snapchat削减1000人）并非由AI直接驱动，而是常规管理与策略调整。现阶段的AI尚未具备引...

The rapid growth of satellite networks is creating a global race to build the infrastructure needed to get them into orbit. Launch on Demand founder Burton Catledge is developing what could become the first US-owned commercial spaceport in Latin America, betting that demand for launch capacity will surge as the number of satellites in orbit expands dramatically over the coming decade. McKinsey aerospace expert Ryan Burkardt says existing launch infrastructure is already strained. CSIS aerospace specialist Kari Bingen sees more than just demand driving the opportunity: space could become a new frontier of geopolitical competition as China expands its footprint across Latin America.

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Investment Thesis Marvell ( MRVL ) has transformed from a cyclical semiconductor supplier to a strategic player in the emerging AI data center infrastructure landscape. While the most idealistic version of the Marvell thesis is simply that hyperscalers are looking for additional custom AI chips, the best interpretation of this thesis is that, as AI scales, the bottleneck will shift from available raw accelerator supply to the ability to transfer data among accelerators, racks, campuses, and ultimately across geographically distributed data centers. Marvell sits directly within that bottleneck through its growing product portfolio and now an ecosystem position linked to Nvidia ( NVDA ). The stock is no longer cheap. However, I do not believe traditional valuation discipline properly captures the inflection. Marvell just reported record Q1 fiscal 2027 revenue of $2.418 billion, which was up 28% year over year, and management guided Q2 revenue to $2.7 billion at the midpoint, implying a 35% year-over-year growth rate. Importantly, management said that growth should continue accelerating through fiscal 2027, driven by strength in the data center business. The Market Is Paying For A New Marvell The old Marvell was a broad-based semiconductor infrastructure company serving markets for storage, networking, carriers, enterprises, and communications. The new Marvell is fundamentally an AI data center company. Data center revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was $1.833 billion, up 27% year over year and up 11% sequentially, which represented 76% of the company's overall revenue. While communications and other revenue was strong at $585 million, up 29% year over year, it appears the gravitational center of the company has clearly shifted. This will be important as AI infrastructure continues to become increasingly network-intensive with each new model generation. Larger clusters do not simply need more GPUs or XPUs. They need ...

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been a life-changing investment in this golden era of artificial intelligence (AI). The stock has risen more than 1,070% over the past five years. That turns $10,000 into over $116,680. With AI investments continuing to pour into chips and data centers, it's fair to wonder how much more investors can expect. Could Nvidia, already at a market cap of $4.96 trillion, with a "T," actually double again anytime soon? The idea isn't outlandish at all. Nvidia's next AI chip platform, Vera Rubin, is looming , and it represents a leap forward in data center infrastructure. Here's why Nvidia stock can continue to soar and how long it may realistically take to double from here. Continue reading

Domingo Saez Romero/iStock Editorial via Getty Images AI has become the newest battleground on studio lots and union floors, pitting visions of cheaper, faster production against fears that the very soul of filmmaking is up for negotiation. Movie studios have quietly used AI tools for years in visual effects, de-aging actors, and recreating deceased performers' voices and likenesses. The threat of AI to replace human labor was a central flashpoint in the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. More recently, generative AI has pushed into script development, concept art, and pre-visualization, which prompted the Academy to add new restrictions to how AI is used in movies eligible for Oscar nominations. A flare-up hit the industry this week when Martin Scorsese signed on as an adviser and partner to Black Forest Labs, a German generative-AI startup behind the Flux family of image-generation models. The announcement triggered immediate criticism from parts of the film and art community, including concept artists and illustrators. Scorsese highlighted that he is using the tech to help with storyboarding, noting that for more than 50 years he's struggled to communicate his visual ideas to cast and crew. Scorsese sees the AI tool as an evolution in the filmmaking process, citing his prior adoption of 3D and de-aging technology. Meanwhile, the AI debate may ratchet up to a new level next week at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York when the AI-generated film Dreams of Violets debuts. The feature-length narrative film was completely generated by AI. It is a fictional dramatization of the massacre of Iranian civilians in January 2026, with every image and person generated using AI video tools. Notably, the film cost just $2K to make and used no cameras, lenses, actors, or sets. Director Ash Koosha acknowledged that an AI-generated film about people who actually died "raises difficult questions," while Tribeca co-founder Jane Rosenthal defended the premiere, arguing the film offers ...

Getty Images Over the past couple of years, there has been an increasing trend of companies deciding to hold cryptocurrencies. Some of them have made this space their actual business, such as Bitmine Immersion Technologies ( BMNR ). The company that's looking to own 5% of Ethereum has branched out into other investments as well but is primarily focused on this one particular crypto. On Wednesday, the company announced it would launch a new preferred equity class (BMNP), allowing it to raise even more capital. Previous Coverage of the Name The last time I took a look at Bitmine was back in January, right after the company had announced a new stake in Beast Industries. Management had been looking at ways to branch out and build out a portfolio of investments, so it took a $200 million stake in the YouTube creator's company. As Bitmine has continued to build its Ethereum stake since, the recent fall in cryptocurrency prices has taken a toll on shares. Since that January article, the stock is down more than 41%, while the S&P is up more than 10%. A New Way to Raise Capital To fund its Ethereum purchases, Bitmine has primarily relied on sales of its common stock. As of July 1st, 2025, there were only about 4.3 million shares outstanding. However, based on information from the latest 10-Q filing , that number was up to more than 537 million as of mid-April 2026. That number could be even higher given any further equity sales to facilitate Ethereum purchases. As of that 10-Q filing, there was still around $5.5 billion worth of stock that could be sold under its at-the-market sales program. Last year, we saw fellow crypto holding company Strategy ( MSTR ) issue multiple preferred share classes as a way to raise new capital. The company has raised well over $15 billion since, but that's also put Strategy on the hook for nearly $1.7 billion in annual payments to those preferred holders. Recently, Strategy sold a very small amount of Bitcoin to help with some of those payments...

Holy Family Catholic primary school says enthusiastic response from parents has been biggest surprise Schools banning pupils from having smartphones are commonplace. But what about a school where pupils ban teachers from using their smartphones, and then get their parents to join in? And not just phones: at Holy Family Catholic primary school in west London teachers are also barred from using laptops, monitors or tablets during the school’s screen-free Mondays, after an idea that came from the pupils themselves.

Video of figures clambering in and out of manholes sparks intrigue – and comparisons with crime-fighting turtles It started in early May. Under cover of darkness, three people pried open a manhole cover in Queens, New York, and clambered down into the sewer. The incident might have gone unnoticed, but the subterranean quest, which was caught on film, captured New Yorkers’ interest when it happened again, and again, in the same month, with two other groups filmed making their way in and out of the sewer system in Brooklyn. The string of events have seen those involved dubbed “mole people” by the local press. Continue reading...
