We were a bit early in our predictions but unfortunately quite accurate - we're heading for a world of shortages and we can't manage them with neoliberal state institutions.

drop everything you're doing and read this truly infuriating tale of barbarians inside the state, water as an asset class edition. it's simply insane, from legal threats to systematic sewage dumping to 'we won't hike bills cause we don't know how to spend the money' www.ft.com/content/9399...

Hello, Jean Claude Trichet called and he'd like a word about the effectiveness of capped interventions in sovereign bond markets under pressure. but I guess European lessons are not that exciting for the MAGA world

Christ almighty. The British obsession with itemized “pay fors” for everything is insane. This is just really not how fiscal policy or government works anywhere functional.

In 2022, we warned about the dangers of Housing as an Asset Class in a report for the European Parliament. Lots of wise heads nodded. But here we are again, and we cannot even blame China for this political failure

sounds like Burnham is going to continue the Starmer 'slash and burn' approach to UK higher education, but now with the added injury of 'rebalancing towards technical education, which we really need'

Our unions are pushing back against a Labour politician that may try to change a status-quo that has been deeply harmful for workers - all to protect a few jobs in fossil sectors that we cannot afford to keep running because they are literally destroying the planet

it was surprising to hear Unite's Sharon Graham criticize Ed Miliband's record as 'job destroying' climate activism. We hope she reconsiders, on a day where UK is under extreme heat warnings. The climate crisis is real, we need a Chancellor who fights it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Tightening against an energy price shock is a crude response, that only works if it chokes the economy, and green investment with it. It shouldn't be so controversial for the ECB to accept it.

I've been long skeptical of Kevin Warsh's hawkish aura - yesterday he proved me right. Despite his critique of QE distorting market signals, inflating asset prices, blurring monetary/fiscal lines, the Warsh Fed won't reserve Powell purchases of US Treasuries under cover of 'repo/reserve stability'

quite extraordinary that Andrew Bailey has responded to Mehreen Khan (+mine + gilt investors) critique of Bank's Quantitative Tightening with a defense so full of monetarist holes you can drive a plough through them: apparently we are of the mark! why? Bailey won't say!

You, a macroeconomist, despair that journalists have used this stupid metaphor for ages and then the people actually in charge of fiscal decisions have no clue what they're taking about.

Two main exemplars of China’s new workers’ literature available in translation, both highly recommended. They are breathtaking memoirs of migrant workers going through staggering numbers of jobs & places. Hu Anyan’s was a bestseller, Xiao Hai’s is due to be published in China only later this year.
