And, as soon as we can muster it, Junseth and I will be back with a new episode.

The newsletter recap focuses on: A tale of two Chinas, Revolution theory and the resilience of capitalism vs command structures. The preview focuses on what's going on in France, both politically and economically; why the Truss mini-budget drama is now being used against the French right; why the internet got the wrong take on the petrodollar; and Izzy gives a brief preview of her explainer of the BoE's newest and arguably most important tool: The short-term repo facility.

Disclaimer: This week's broadcast features some wild and *speculative* geopolitical theories. (Not to be confused with facts)
