Looks like Frederiksen - having resisted for two terms - will also lower the corporate income tax in this new coalition. That means every single Danish PM since Poul Schlüter (1982-93) will have lowered it.

I think a lot of debates about “markets” vs “planning” in the abstract would benefit from thinking a bit more about how investment decisions are made in the economies in which we currently live. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Not to panic, friends. Off-balance-sheet liabilities only ever impact firm balance sheets during crises, such as those triggered by systematically mispriced valuations, faulty risk models, and opaque cross-exposures, so we'll probably be fine.

If the disease is susceptibility to wealth and power perhaps the treatment is limits on wealth and power. Or are we going to carry on being intensely relaxed about all this?

It's so adorable when the research and legal departments of the world's most venerable financial institutions discover the political economy of shitcoins...and press on anyway. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
JPMorgan in recent months has assigned a team of internal researchers to unearth legal documents related to the era of so-called wildcat banking from two centuries ago. In that era, hundreds of state-chartered banks issued their own currencies. JPMorgan’s researchers were looking into whether some of those dormant laws applied to the bank’s plan to create its own stablecoin today.

They uncovered something else, though. In the wildcat era, fraud and bank failures ruled. That tumult was fixed only by the creation of the first U.S. National Bank note, a predecessor to the modern U.S. dollar. It was issued only by official national chartered banks — one of which was the precursor to JPMorgan Chase.

Facebook-innlegget mitt om at arbeidslivet må endres for at flere uføre skal kunne jobbe, er blitt til innlegg i Aftenposten. De har strøket en "drit og dra!", men har beholdt "Herre milde Josef og Maria", så det er da noe. Lik og del, som dem sier.

Again, the real reason investors are not shifting away from 🇺🇸/the dollar is <math>. There is no place for everyone, in the aggregate, to go. There simply are not enough non-dollar safe assets. There <could> be. But we're talking <years> and huge policy reform, not months: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

I’m sorry that economists don’t read or cite other disciplines & feel like they can “discover” new topics without reading the existing literature - something they would never tolerate in the other direction. But there are huge piles of books & articles about “geoeconomics” in IPE since the 1970s.

Veldig god tråd frå EU-forskar og EU-entusiast om kvifor det kan vere klokare å legge det nye militære samarbeidet i Europa utanfor EU. Trur særleg poenga om veto-dynamikker i EU, og det at vi treng få med UK (med sin militære- og etterretningskapasitet) er viktige.

To understand how GOATed the US economy has been, consider that today's revisions have increased real GDP per capita growth by 1.2%, from 8.2% to 9.4% That 1.2% increase alone is more growth than the UK, Germany, and Canada have seen, and is almost on par with France (1.5%)
