Jorg Bibow has written about how the mythical trauma of hyperinflation has been deliberately built up by German central bankers, among, others, to support a conservative vision of macroeconomic policy. www.levyinstitute.org/pubs/wp_886....

It’s remarkable how persistent this myth is. German democracy survived hyperinflation; it did not survive mass unemployment in the 1939s. It would be better to say this the other way round: because German leaders are conservative, they remember hyperinflation. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

New paper out in the @thejop.bsky.social (w/ @christinagahn.bsky.social) Do opinion polls shape election results? Using both cross-national data and a survey experiment, the answer we find is yes - though it depends on how we communicate polling results. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Image showing the abstract of the paper "Self-Fulfilling Prophecies at the Voting Booth" by Werner Krause and Christina Gahn, published in the Journal of Politics. The abstract describes a quasi-experimental study across 25 countries finding that parties polling just below electoral thresholds are approximately 45 percentage points less likely to clear them, and that this effect diminishes when voters are informed about polling uncertainty.

Talked to an HVAC guy who's working two jobs to pay rent. He has no savings and worries about retirement. Tariffs have made it hard for him to import parts. Then this big strong guy who never cries, he said, he said to me, "I just wish Trump's signature was on the dollar." Then he burst out crying.

New York Times headline reads: "Trump’s Signature to Be Added to U.S. Dollars

President Trump is set to be the first sitting president to have his signature appear on America’s currency."
