I marvel at the size of the output from your brain. I struggle to put 3 paragraphs together in logical arrangements. Same with other bloggers I have been following for 20+years. I hope your brain does not get exhausted. I do miss the early times when you occasionally wrote of your family life.
I know nothing about formats for substack, but I have had some success vibe coding python scripts in Claude to do exactly this sort of thing (parse and reformat) with other file types.
Just a note: it seems that Substack does have import capabilities from various other platforms, although they do not say anything about TypePad. But it may be possible to import your old posts if you are able to export them in some reasonable format.
My guess would be that someone reasonably familiar with how Substack is structured (note, this does not include me) could probably write something to do a conversion to something compatible with not too much difficulty - if such does not already exist. If the text included above is what you are working with, it doesn't look like the syntax is terribly complex.
I agree with you and Mike Harper, professor. You're not so dumb and I also marvel at the output from your amazing mind! :-) Good luck with TypePad, which I though went away years ago.
The very short term of UK Prime Minister Liz Truss was due to the jealous gods of finance. Chancellor Reeves is stuck in a straitjacket of her own making to keep those gods pacified. The new leader of teh Green party was adamant that should he be able to influence the [next] government, he would spend to invest, perhaps sacrificing the incomes and wealth of teh rich.
Economic ideas are not natural laws. When accepted, they become institutionalized heuristics that generate the responses of institutions until reality forces a change. The stagflation of teh 1970s and teh failure of Keynesian stimuli resulted in both teh US and UK to adopt monetarist policies. This resulted in behavioral changes. The failure to gain any traction for MMT by its proponents may reflect institutional rigidity and adherence to existing ideas.
Back in the last century, when options markets were priced, it was remarkable how option calls and puts were often so close the Black-Scholes model equation. Was this because the model was a true reflection of reality, or was it because the markets used teh model to quickly price the options?
Herd behavior and trust is important. Volker and subsequently, Greenspan created that trust in their expertise that was transmitted to the market and its responses. But once reality upsets that trust in expertise, chaos can ensue. Trump seems to think that he can bend reality to his will using bullying tactics. At some point, that will fail, and we will have a Wil.E.Coyote moment.
I was still trading back then, although the Peso wasn't my gig.
The Salinas government was neo-liberal (and IMO made many positive long run changes to Mexico with short run problems). They negotiated and signed NAFTA, privatized Finance, inter alia, but tried to stay in power during what was for sure going to an unemployment problem with fiscal and monetary stimulus.
To be fair, the long term benefits have accrued to, well, Trump's 2nd inauguration.
Salinas saw what happened to Bush.
I can almost imagine him saying, "Read My Lips. No New Devaluations!"
Democracy be like that sometimes.
So the crisis was definitely domestic...which isn't to argue that Hedge Fund guys weren't licking their lips at the prospect of another devaluation.
