In his latest book, Power and Progress, Johnson warns of the risks associated with having a few billionaires control technology’s strategic direction. F&D’s Café Economics covers the struggle over technology and prosperity in an exclusive interview with the 2024 Nobel Laureate.

The digital economy can be tough to measure. For example, Bitcoin uses as much electricity as Argentina, but its consumption has largely remained off the books.

That’s why an updated global standard for economic measurement aims to improve how we measure activity by better capturing digitalization, intangible assets, and global production.

And this in turn will help governments make more informed decisions that support growth, jobs, and investment. https://www.imf.org/en/Blogs/Articles/2025/07/31/new-standards-for-economic-data-aim-to-sharpen-view-of-global-economy

LATEST: July 2025 World Economic Outlook Update projects global growth at 3.0% in 2025 and 3.1% in 2026—still below earlier pre-tariff forecasts and below the pre-pandemic historical average of 3.7%. Inflation is easing but still above target in some economies. Key focus: restoring confidence through predictable trade frameworks, credible fiscal plans, and targeted reforms. https://imf.org/en/Publications/WEO/Issues/2025/07/29/world-economic-outlook-update-july-2025
