We interrupt your regularly scheduled macro briefing to bring you this bulletin on “How social media helped defeat the Turkish Coup,” by fund manager and Bloomberg columnist Mohamed El-Erian, heretofore one of Enterprise’s favourite Egyptians living abroad and a member of Egypt’s sainted Coordinating Council tasked with harmonizing fiscal and monetary policy. Please, God, we ask of you two things this morning: That columnists have the courage to admit they have nothing to say on a given day, and that should they still feel the need to produce filler, that you smite them before they can juxtapose the words “coup” (or “revolution”) and “social media” ever again.
