Thats it, @benbraun.bsky.social Barbarians inside German football :)

summers never got discredited for his role as chief ideologue of neoliberalism.
Many US pundits treated him as a 'lefty' till about 2 weeks ago

'teflon' Summers

- key architect of Washington Consensus neoliberalism
- pushed out Stiglitz from World Bank chief economist for criticising financial liberalisation
- promoted liberalisation till 2008 crisis
- muse for small state Democrats
- made sexist remarks as President of Harvard

Well well, Larry Summers is finally getting a well deserved, long overdue public humiliation for his friendship with Epstein the rapist power broker of American empire

Look at that period when the UK followed Conservative economic policy, as Bush insists we should

THE ASSET CLASS, my first book, will be published by @wnbooks.bsky.social on 9 April 2026. It’s a narrative investigation of private equity, a secretive and relentlessly destructive wing of finance that penetrates almost every aspect of our lives - and it’s available to pre-order now!

This is a 10yo'd summary of bible class, not an academic essay.

Solidarity to the colleagues in US academia and one piece of advice - get out while you can, this essay is poor scholarship and you won't be able to say so

the OBR - the incompetent overloards of a destabilising fiscal rule regime

the @ec.europa.eu Commission tacit support for fungibility, against strong @ecb.europa.eu objections, gave us Eurodollar stablecoins: hoard in profitable US, run on stronger moneyness EU, necessitating close, potentially subordinating,
coordination with US authorities

new 'Transatlantic Faultlines' report for @europarl.europa.eu -

on why we should worry less about tariffs, and more about AI Minsky moment, Eurodollar stablecoins/digital Euro and state capacity to compete in a world of transformative state projects

Textbook example of how not to do this. Straight from the Laura Kuenssberg/Nick Robinson school of silly analogies.

Are you German?

The EU is not fighting fossil fuels, only emissions, Von der Leyen says ahead of G20 | Euractiv Her comments to reporters in South Africa may impact global climate talks wrapping up in Brazil

The German mind-bending logic strikes again.

In German lalaland, we can get emissions free fossil fuels.

the greatest bitcoin snark of all times from @katie0martin.ft.com

Same in the UK

If an attractive young woman a third my age didn't want to date me, then why did she ask me for feedback on an economics paper?

by Larry Summers

Waiting for distinguished economists to notice Larry Summers is a sex pest of the teenage boy variety, but with the power to harass his own students

Very senior economist speaks out against Summers and against the discipline continuing to bestow privileges and honors on him; calls out sexism in economics.

You'd think this site should be flooded with similar threads...

T-acounts, they make things look so orderly. Very helpful AI bubble mapping here by @advaitarun.bsky.social.

Bailey is the real bond vigilante in Britain, not elected in office but in power

bsky.app/profile/lrb....

Bank of England’s Andrew Bailey says QE will offset its costs in long term Bank governor responds to investors and politicians after value of its holdings of UK government bonds fell

unconvincing defence from Bailey - the real question is why is the Bank of England increasing the costs for government by actively selling gilts when NO other large central bank does it.

Bond markets don't rule Britain, but it seems Keir Starmer would like them to, take that weight of his shoulders.

look @benbraun.bsky.social - Germany's chief carbon shock therapist is top contender for ECB head

torturing the loanable funds framework - by itself wrong - to get to a Trump-pleasing narrative: lower interest rates.

Stephen Miran, the Trump appointed Fed Governor may be good at many things, but he's not that good on money/central banking.
his latest speech on stablecoins is riddled with bad theory (loanable funds) and misunderstandings (stablecoins are not a savings instrument)

The disturbing victory of Old Labour over New Labour In education, labour and housing we risk going back towards what we know will not work
