Richard Drury/DigitalVision via Getty Images The future is already here – it’s just not evenly distributed. William Gibson, author of Neuromancer Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. George Santayana, The Life of Reason We are in the midst of an unprecedented boom. A technological revolution that will change everything. As a certain former and current president might say, like nothing anyone has ever seen before. AI has certainly changed things since ChatGPT was released in November 2022. By the end of this year, we will have spent roughly $2 trillion on AI infrastructure in four years. AI spending is tracking at over 1% of global GDP and roughly 2–2.5% of US GDP. Large numbers, no question. But unprecedented? Unequivocally no. The US railroad boom in the second half of the 19th century was actually quite a bit larger as a percentage of GDP. Railroad investment averaged 2–3% of GDP throughout the boom, with the peak from about 1868 to 1873 approaching 6% of GDP — at one point representing roughly 20% of all capital formation in the country. Total AI spending today, even at 14% of non-residential investment, isn’t close. So no, this isn’t unprecedented. The only difference is the nature of the technology. In both cases, the expectation was a large increase in productivity, and the railroad boom did transform the US economy — just not fast enough to save the early investors. Will AI turn out the same? The railroad boom was fed by several independent developments: the steam engine, the canal boom, and eventually the Bessemer process, patented in 1856, which dropped the price of steel by roughly 80% and allowed railroads to replace brittle iron track with something that could actually support large locomotives and freight cars. The financial infrastructure to support the rail boom was a byproduct of the canal boom that preceded it, largely debt financing, funded globally. That boom also produced two busts — 1873 and 1893. In both cases, roughly...

A group of holders of Ethiopia’s defaulted $1 billion eurobond will continue the process of suing the government after the latest round of restructuring negotiations fell through, according to a committee representing the investors. Members of the group had already issued a notice before action — a necessary legal step before formally filing a court case — before fresh negotiations began last month. “Given the lack of tangible results from the recent restricted discussions, those members intend to press forward with legal claims in the English court to protect and enforce their rights,” the ad-hoc committee of holders of Ethiopia’s sole eurobond that matured in 2024 said in a statement Monday. Read More: Ethiopia Says Bondholders Reject Latest Proposal of 12% Haircut Ethiopia is using the Group of 20’s Common Framework guidelines to restructure its debt. That requires all creditor sets to provide comparable relief, and the government and bondholders have failed to reach a deal that was satisfactory to the other lenders. If the bond investors file a claim, that would mark the first court case stemming from the Common Framework, and could threaten Ethiopia’s broader debt revamp process.

全英房屋抵押贷款协会（Nationwide Building Society）周一公布的数据显示，英国5月房价环比下跌0.6%，这是自去年12月以来首次按月出现下跌，且同比涨幅有所放缓，原因是伊朗战争引发的经济不确定性打击了需求。 Nationwide表示，这也是自2025年6月以来的最大月度跌幅，跌幅大于路透调查预期的0.2%。 英国5月房价同比上涨1.7%，低于经济学家预期的2.2%，此前4月涨幅为3%。 Nationwide首席经济学家Robert Gardner表示：“鉴于中东局势发展引发的不确定性，以及随之而来的能源价格和市场利率上涨，房价涨势有所减弱是在意料之中的。” “自冲突爆发以来，消费者信心已明显减弱。” 自伊朗战争爆发以来，平均抵押贷款利率持续攀升。这是因为金融市场预计英国央行今年晚些时候将加息而非降息，从而推高了借贷成本。 责任编辑：刘明亮

cagkansayin/iStock via Getty Images In this article I am assessing the investment merits of Geron ( GERN ), a company I have reported on extensively in years past; not so much recently. My first Geron article was published in 04/2017; my last, " Geron: Hurdles Ahead " in 03/21. Between the first and Hurdles I documented its every move in 24 articles . Today, five+ years following Hurdles, after a long hiatus, I am checking back in to see how this old acquaintance is faring. I would say that its hurdles have certainly made things difficult, but it is still able to function, albeit at a diminished level. Its old warhorse therapy — imetelstat, an oligonucleotide telomerase inhibitor, renamed RYTELO—was finally FDA approved in 06/2024. The approval was for treatment of: ...adults with low- to intermediate-1 risk myelodysplastic syndromes [MDS] with transfusion-dependent anemia requiring four or more red blood cell units over 8 weeks who have not responded to or have lost response to or are ineligible for erythropoiesis-stimulating agents [ESAs]. RYTELO's FDA approval was the denouement of a long and fascinating story Early days — fountain of youth As noted in one of my early Geron articles: ...Geron started life in 1990 to satisfy an oilman's quest for immortality. This improbable quest led to the discovery of the telomerase inhibitor imetelstat (RYTELO). Telomerase inhibition and cancer Geron's website , accessed on 05/2026 describes the role of telomeres and telomerase in highly proliferative diseases such as cancer; it notes that for humans: ... normal growth and maintenance of tissues occurs by cell division. However, most cells are only able to divide a limited number of times, and this number of divisions is regulated by the length of telomeres, which are repetitions of a DNA sequence located at the end of chromosomes. Normally, every time a cell divides, the telomeres shorten. Eventually, they shrink to a critically short length, preventing further cell division ...
