Muhammad bin Salman is one of the worlds most secure autocrats. He has
no need to pay off rivals or buy elections. Yet by 2030 his government
will have spent almost $3trn on Vision 2030, a plan to transform Saudi
Arabias economy. Officials are backing man-made islands, luxury hotels
and electric-vehicle factories. They will take anything that has the
smallest chance of creating economic growth, even if it is in decades,
says a megaproject executive, even fantasies and failures.

from Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted, in 2021, of federal crimes
related to enabling Epsteins sexual abuse of underage girls, and who
was then sentenced to twenty years in prison. She maintains that the
federal governments non-prosecution agreement with Epstein gave her

where there's broad agreement about problematic plastic products,
redesign and better waste management. Powerful oil and gas-producing
nations and the plastics industry oppose production limits. Norway's
