My recent work on Economics of the #CommonGood offers a reframing of economics to focus as much on the ‘how’ as the ‘what’. I recently organised an event at the Vatican to discuss this approach with PM Mia Mottley & @pontifexeng.bsky.social Watch the full film here: youtu.be/Ev3SOKNNtF

Elon Musk is a clown, a descendant of racist white people that colonized South Africa. If you drive his cars, buy his garbage, you are part of the problem. All of us need to mock his dumbass early and often.

It's the Winter Solstice. After today, in the North, the days will slowly lengthen. Spring will come. It's a time when our ancestors marked the defeat of darkness with celebrations; so important they created a magnificent device to pinpoint the day. The light will return. Happy Solstice all! ❤️

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere. The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back. A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year. Fiat lux! 📷 by @annieworsley.bsky.social

A recent analysis found that when Trump imposed tariffs during his first term, companies who contributed to Republicans were more likely to be granted tariff exemptions. Trump's corporate donors won't shoulder the cost of his trade wars. It's crony capitalism at its worst.

A lot of people are urged to go to college as a magic ticket to economic security and end up with nothing but debt and jobs they could get without a degree. Some smart people recognize the trades are a better living, even with a degree.

What is the working class? Many invoke it in this election, but no one defines it. How much is it economic, when a plumber can make 10x as much as adjunct professor? How much is it cultural/an identity, or the kind of labor? Why so many 1930s white-guy versions when so many are women and BIPOC?
