Reform ideas, each traced to the parliamentary committee record that raised it and to the research that bears on it, kept current by weekly harvests of Parliament, calls for comment and the literature. With a reform index, a weekly briefing and a question tool grounded in that evidence base. It tracks the agenda The South African Economy describes.

The policy blockers to cross-border investment in Africa, the reforms that would remove them, and how far each has got: a dated status on each track (legal, rules, delivery, funding) and a citation that says whether a person has checked it. Deep coverage so far of cross-border payments and currency, regional power trade, transport corridors and border posts, and continental free trade under the AfCFTA. The African sibling of SA Policy Space and the policy companion to The African Economy: The Growth Century.

Simulates events involving global economic coercive measures — sanctions, export controls, tariffs, and investment restrictions — and how targets and third countries respond.

Charts of the dollar system, each rebuilt from a public source and, where marked, checked against a figure the source itself published. Three layers: the hierarchy of money (what the dollar costs and who can borrow it when it runs short), the dollar's transaction cycle (pricing, financing, risk transfer, payment, reinvestment) and the statecraft toolbox. It measures the past and makes no forecasts. The data companion to Global Finance: A Money View.

Scores US tax and spending proposals from IRS and FRED data on CBO conventions: static, behavioral and dynamic. Shows who pays and how far each score sits from a published one, with a Social Security reform menu, a question tool that cites its sources, and classroom problem sets. A companion to the tax and budget chapters of Public Economics.
