Lidt længere refleksion efter faktisk have gennemlyttet hele afsnittet af Aftryk @voldsgaard.bsky.social trækker på et tankesæt vi har haft fokus på før og som han måske mener er blevet nedprioriteret under konkurrencestats-paradigmet; at staten kan spille en vigtig rolle på markedet. 1/6

Great to see our paper on the UK fiscal architecture out just as a new perceived fiscal crisis emerges. Our paper shows how the UK government spends money into existence and withdraws it temporarily again with gilts to support monetary policy and provide safe assets for the non-bank private sector.

A clever and critical take on the abundance proposition by Sandeep Vaheesan - a must read focusing in on the limits of the private sector. The Real Path to Abundance www.bostonreview.net/articles/the...

Et kæmpe tak for nu og på gensyn til Klimarådets sekretariat! Jeg havde i forgårs sidste arbejdsdag på mit skønne job i Klimarådet, inden der fra næste uge venter en ny og spændende udfordring inden for samme felt. Tak til alle mine gode kollegaer og god vind fremover! 🌱

Now that's a banger co-lab: VoltsXDoctorow. Great listen - we should definitely avoid the enshittification of the growing amount of clean-energy tech in our daily lives.

Indicative planning can mitigate the climate crisis. But under capitalism it only happens when the stakes are sky-high: wars, energy crises, post-war rubble. Jacob Hasselbalch and I took a dive in the topic. #GreenState #PoliticalEconomy #ClimateAction www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I joined Bluesky recently and am finally getting around to making a starter pack! Not surprisingly on the area that most interests me: RETHINKING THE STATE - the direction of growth, mission-oriented organisations, public sector capabilities & dynamic purpose-oriented partnerships.

Desværre ingen bud på at bygge havvind. Klimarådet foreslog før sommerferien, at der skulle arbejdes på en ‘plan B’ for at være på forkant med en mulig skuffelse pga. usikkerhederne #dkgreen klimaraadet.dk/da/analyse/k...

Five months paternity leave ahead - please hook me up with your favourite audiobooks on anything political economy. Last time around Thompson’s Disorder was a hit. What’s next?

So you got the plan, but have you got the state capacity? (To misquote Shania Twain) Looking forward to presenting this paper on state capacity for decarbonisation next week at @mpimmg.bsky.social's conf on 'The Fragmentary State' Paper has been a v long time coming but I think it's nearly there 🙏

Klimarådet: “Omkostningerne [ved et 80- eller 90-procentsmål i 2035] svarer omtrentligt til henholdsvis 0,1 pct. og 0,2 pct. af BNP i årligt gennemsnit frem mod 2035 … Dette beløb skal lægges oven i de omkostninger … som forventes med allerede vedtagen politik.” klimaraadet.dk/da/analyse/d...

Hvad skal DK's klimamål være i 2035? En ny rapport fra Klimarådet som udkom i dag opridser nogle af mulighederne. Klimamål er også fordelingskamp. Global klimaretfærdighed tilsiger selvklart mere markante reduktioner. klimaraadet.dk/da/analyse/d...

That rule I put in the constitution and that has wreaked devastation? It’s “still right and proper”. But do tweak it a little. Should be fine. Let’s not think too hard about it. Let alone assume responsibility for a catastrophic error, haha no. on.ft.com/49oaXE5

I recommend reading @nathantankus.bsky.social's US election take: Voters hate temporary safety nets. Check out this overview by @stephensemler.bsky.social - who drew up the strategy behind this welfare tease?

As promised (threatened?), I made a starter pack of heterodox and political economists! You'll see a range of pluralist theories here, as well as some heterodox-friendly economists that may be more mainstream. go.bsky.app/J86RtKh
