American economyy's done really quite well both  in the long run or the medium run but also even since Donald Trump took over and that feels quite  odd given the kind of forecasts of problems from tariffs and from migration and all the things that  we and others have written about and the way we
2
found to resolve this paradox was to realize  that actually the American economy was really set up for an extraordinary year in 2025. there  was a strong baseline going in for the reasons we discussed and then a number of boosts even ahead  of that that were much stronger than expected
3
coming through and those are the first of those  sort of blue bars that we have up on the chart there. So starting from the baseline which we  pull out of pre-Trump forecasts we then see that actually is a big boost from tax cuts. So there's  more of that yet in 2026, but in 2025 there's
4
already some a boost from stock markets doing very  well, which is partly fueled by by optimism about Trump to a degree, but really mostly fueled  by the extraordinary advances in AI. And then
5
even beyond that, a specific kind of data center  boom that we label AI capital expenditure that you can see in the numbers, too. And so off that  baseline, we reckon were it not for the MAGA tax,
6
were it not for everything we're going to get  to, America was set up to be kind of homing in on almost 3% GDP growth. And instead, what happened  in 2025 was a lot closer to 2%. That's one way of getting to the the MAGA tax, the gap between the  two. So the gap between the two is about 3/4 of
7
a percentage point. That's just just to to keep  it simple. The American economy would have grown, you you think about 3/4 of a percentage point  faster. Indeed. And so that's one way of doing it. The other way is just to look straight at what  did Donald Trump do and how damaging was it? And
8
this is pulling together external estimates,  our own crunching of the numbers and so on. We really pulled out three that we thought mattered.  The first was tariffs. We talked about those to death. Those have, we reckon, genuinely contracted  the economy. We've we've used an estimate there
9
of a sort of 0.2 percentage pointsish, but  something pretty material. Just as important, if not more than the tariffs, we reckon was  the immigration drag that border shutdown, mass deportations, towns of people not coming  in, all of that. Then finally in our calculations
10
actually the largest of that was the uncertainty.  So the sheer churn the sheer chaos and if you look at American business investment outside of the AI  sector which has done really well it's actually in a slump. It's actually a slump even worse  than what Britain suffered after Brexit which
11
was another similar shock to uncertainty. So  you add all that up and you get to a similar figure of again 3/4 percentage point give  or take but a pretty hefty mega attacks. What really struck me about this analysis was not  only how rigorous it was, but also that it sort
12
of rings true with what we've been talking about  that the things that we thought would hurt the US economy did indeed hurt it. But what is very  striking, Charlotte, when I look at this chart is the impact both of the AI capex and the AI wealth  effect. I mean, were it not for the AI boom,
13
the US economy would be in much worse shape. Do  you want to talk through those two? Sure. So, um, there's been an enormous surge in investment  from a few big tech companies, right? Just a
14
handful of them. And that has had a big effect  that you've seen um, in their valuations and the stock market performance. And you've also seen a  lot of spending on capital equipment. And this is something I thought was really interesting in your  analysis was that part of why the the impact on
15
the economy was not greater actually is because  so much of the investment on capital equipment is on imports from from elsewhere. And the thing  that I as someone who you know thinks about at the
16
politics of this as well find so fascinating about  the AI um the AI wealth effect and the AI capex and its contribute contribution to the topline  numbers of America's economy is that the wealth
17
effect is not uh shared equally across all parts  of American society and there's a huge uh brewing backlash against data centers against the politics  of AI and so I think that one of the questions
18
that this administration faces uh is that it wants  to take full credit for the economic numbers that we've seen that it could trump it as a success.  Uh but voters are not giving them any credit for
19
it and I think the AI effects that you see in  this chart are part of that reason. I was going to say that that um the AI effect in in a sense  is a piece of luck but it's not exogenous to the
20
American economy. It actually is typical of the  American economy. ability to mobilize financial resources and to plow and take risks is what makes  the American economy so strong and this is the
21
latest example of it. I it makes perfect sense  to me to strip out the positive effects of of AI but we do need to remember that is actually deep  within the kind of DNA of the American economy.

Consigli per la pratica

Quando guardi il video, ti consiglio di praticare il shadowing seguendo il ritmo e il tono del relatore. Inizia ascoltando attentamente un breve segmento audio. Poi, ripeti esattamente ciò che hai sentito, cercando di imitare non solo le parole, ma anche l'intonazione e il ritmo. Puoi anche utilizzare il shadow speech, dove ripeti la frase immediatamente dopo averla sentita. Gli argomenti trattati nel video richiedono un po' di attenzione, quindi non preoccuparti se non capisci tutto al primo colpo. Il tuo obiettivo dovrebbe essere quello di migliorare la comprensione e la fluidità nel parlare.

Imparare l'inglese con YouTube è un modo eccellente per immergerti nella lingua, mentre il shadowing in inglese ti aiuterà a sviluppare una pronuncia più naturale. Ricorda che la pratica costante è fondamentale. Ripeti i segmenti al tuo ritmo, aumentando gradualmente la velocità man mano che ti senti più a tuo agio. Questo approccio ti permetterà di affinare le tue abilità linguistiche e di affrontare argomenti complessi con maggiore sicurezza. Con pazienza e dedizione, otterrai risultati sorprendenti nella tua pratica di conversazione in inglese!

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
