A great new book by The Post’s fact-checking team helps us make sense of this moment. It is a comprehensive effort to tally up the extraordinary range, depth and breadth of Trump’s lying.
When you view all of the lies in one place — he has told more than 16,000 — the effect is striking. And this larger context is crucial to understanding Trump’s new legal assault on Twitter.

This is excellent. @isabelhilton as ever nuanced, concise, and insightful. Great storyline and observations by Rana Mitter. Ironic oversimplifications about the ‘west’ by Chinese commentators seeking to counter ‘western’ deception of China. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000jf70 … BBC Sounds bbc.co.uk
The immediate implications of Covid-19 have dominated the media – and perhaps your attention – for months. But meanwhile, other stories are developing at speed, some intersecting with the virus crisis in unexpected ways. In the first of a new series of documentaries, the historian Rana Mitter invites you to turn your attention away from the virus, and to look instead at how China is combining its tech and consumer product prowess to make the case for its one-party model of government – and the impact on that of Covid-19. With contributions from: Daniel Bell, Peter Frankopan, Sophia Gaston, Isabel Hilton, Keyu Jin, Yu Jie, Zhang Weiwei

Many fear that the pandemic invites national withdrawal, but the world’s scientists are showing us a better way forward. They are not only putting their research at everyone’s disposal, but also modeling a cooperative way of working that enables them to produce more and better output.
Among its many other effects, the COVID-19 crisis has intensified the pre-existing geopolitical rivalry between China and the United States. This tension has led many to warn of the “Thucydides trap,” a term coined by Harvard’s Graham T. Allison to refer to the heightened risk of conflict when an emerging power threatens to displace an established one. Allison’s theory takes its name from the ancient Greek historian Thucydides’ chronicle of the Peloponnesian War, in which Sparta defeated the rising city-state of Athens. Continuar leyendo →

El 28 de enero de este año, el BBVA enviaba a algunos de sus clientes y accionistas una Nota Especial con un título sugestivo y brillante, pero más propio de un thriller que de un análisis de coyuntura de una entidad financiera: «Un cisne negro acaba con la complacencia”. Un cisne negro, según la formulación del profesor Nassim N. Taleb, es un acontecimiento imprevisible que tiene gran impacto y que, por su propia naturaleza, nunca está presente en los escenarios de los agentes económicos.
Así se describía en la Nota del BBVA al Covid-19: “el nuevo brote infeccioso chino, provocado por un virus, que ocasiona una enfermedad parecida a la neumonía, que ya se ha extendido a cuatro continentes y que ha matado a unas ochenta personas, entraría dentro de la definición de cisne negro, ya que estamos hablando de un factor de riesgo desconocido, cuyo impacto no había sido descontado por los mercados financieros”.
