☆ Opinion | What Trump Voters Understand About the Economy
  + stars: | 2024-01-15 | by ( Roger Lowenstein | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Why is Donald Trump continuing to poll so strongly with voters? As unpalatable as a second Trump term would be, many pundits who tackle this question have ignored a striking fact: The typical household’s living standard improved during the three Trump years before the pandemic. The old saw that Mussolini got the trains to run on time should not be understood as an endorsement. But it is one thing to loathe Mr. Trump and hope for his defeat. The leitmotif in such arguments is that blue voters are rational political actors voting on merit while Trump is appealing primarily, if not exclusively, to irrational semi-citizens devoid of even self-interested calculation.

☆ Warren Buffett's toll roads, Elon Musk's bottlenecks, and why both men prize the same kinds of businesses
  + stars: | 2023-09-02 | by ( Theron Mohamed | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Buffett likes toll roads that give him monopoly power and the ability to raise prices easily. AdvertisementAdvertisementYears later, one of Buffett's companies held a 24% stake in Detroit International Bridge Co., the only public company in the country that owned a toll bridge. He also highlighted toll roads among the specific assets he wanted to buy in his Buffett Partnership letters in the 1950s. "I have said in an inflationary world that a toll bridge would be a great thing to own if it was unregulated." Shared valuesBuffett appears to like toll roads because they're a simple, safe, and reliable way to make money.

☆ The Book That Changed Robert Rubin’s Thinking About Poverty

In addition to the subject’s fascinating life — among much else, she was Virginia Woolf’s muse and longtime lover — I always enjoy books about that era. What’s the most interesting thing you learned from a book recently? I recently finished a book called “1215: The Year of Magna Carta,” by Danny Danziger and John Gillingham. Our political system and government. You’ll find more recent examples of the genre — especially those by David Baldacci and Daniel Silva — on my shelves, too.

☆ Why Warren Buffett Runs Berkshire Hathaway His Way - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-05-02 | by ( Roger Lowenstein | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
Not surprisingly, Mr. Buffett has become a target for progressive institutional investors. (A resolution calling for Mr. Buffett to step down as board chairman, though not as C.E.O., fared the worst.) CalPERS, which manages retirement funds in California, demands that Berkshire publish an annual “assessment” on how it manages climate risks. (This is a good place to note: I’m not only a Warren Buffett biographer, I’m also a long-term Berkshire stockholder.) Mr. Buffett was the son of a conservative Republican who served four terms in Congress.
