I’m deeply saddened by Anwar Shaikh’s passing. His work had a profound influence on me, despite my theoretical disagreements over money, Harrodian instability, or the robustness of emergent macroeconomic properties to changes in microeconomic assumptions. A tremendous loss for heterodox economics.

The Greens propose to drop interest rates as the main inflation tool. So it's a good moment to ask why we discarded the world Kalecki knew (full employment as the aim), for monetary policy primacy, independent central banks & a buffer stock of unemployed labour. open.substack.com/pub/patricia...

Questions to mainstream economists: If inflation is demand-driven, why does wage-financed consumption spending cause inflation, credit-financed spending not? You make workers overindebted as they can't dare to strike?

There is a bulk of empirical evidence showing that tax cuts do not stimulate investments unless demand is strong. Capitalists reinvest their profits after taxes in financial assets. Multiplier effect is higher for public investment and employment than tax cuts. x.com/unusual_whal...

This piece directly compares the core's net-appropriation from Africa’s CFA zone to China’s. We found that the core net-appropriated on average 20x more than China across materials, land and water. The disparity is even more extreme in per capita terms. jasonhickel.substack.com/p/unequal-ex...

Nearly 90 % of the world’s population now lives in countries where inequality exceeds the World Bank’s threshold for “high inequality.” In those societies, the risk of democratic backsliding is seven times higher.

Global inequality has reached a point where it's no longer just an social or justice issue. It’s a structural crisis threatening democracy and economic development. since 2000, the richest 1 % have captured 41 % of all new global wealth.The poorest 50 % have received just 1 %.

Elon Musk is a tick who sucks $8 million per day out of the federal govt and gives back diseases like armored Cybertrucks. Tesla was saved by a $465 million federal loan in 2009 and buoyed to success by EV tax credits (thanks Obama). All while paying virtually no federal taxes. Who's the parasite?

Elon Musk uses his Nazi website to post a meme calling anyone who relies on government assistance part of the "parasite class."

France: the extreme centre is going round in circles. Bayrou had tried and failed to aggregate the bloc bourgeois in the early 2000s. Macron later succeeded before running into the problems we all know. And now, he (sort of) chooses Bayrou as his new PM.

The economy has outperformed Fed expectations for 3 years. Here's what the Fed gets wrong: 1) It's all about the flows, and higher rates and increased flows. 2) The economy is a dynamic non-linear system, the Fed only thinks in linear terms. Follow the flows and think non-linearly!
