Excited to share this paper because it does something new: We're testing the implicit coordination hypothesis proposed by Weber & Wasner. Analyzing earnings calls, we find that large, economy-wide costs shocks make executives feel very good indeed. Open access:

It’s out! I’m deeply proud and grateful for this book — especially for the chance to collaborate with such brilliant & bold minds.

Here’s to hoping its ideas spark fresh conversations and inspire meaningful change in our field. #economics #eurocentrism #decolonisation

Our book is *finally* available for pre-order! It'll ship next week on May 30th 😱 Been a long time coming, very curious about what you all will think.

re-reading Kalecki on nazism:

'The dislike of government spending policy as such is overcome under fascism by the fact that the state machinery is under the direct control of a partnership of big business with fascism.'

Trump halts aid to South Africa, claiming discrimination against Afrikaners His executive order accuses South Africa’s government of seizing property from White landowners and calls for their resettlement as “refugees” in the U.S.

Trump won’t be happy until South Africa bring back apartheid. The majority of aid provided to South Africa is for HIV/AIDS treatment through PEPFAR. He’s going to kill a lot of people.

Anstatt neoliberalem Kahlschlag à la Trump-Musk braucht Deutschland einen Fair New Deal, um das Wirtschaftsmodell zu erneuern und die Demokratie zu schützen.

Someone needs to write a paper about varieties of blame shifting by central banks whose rate hikes have created painful recessions. Make sure your 2x2 has a cell for what the crafty Riksbank has come up with.
