My five cents in @bloomberg.com on the international euro “We’re not there yet, that’s clear, but people underestimate how quickly these things can move because they think about the pound sterling taking a century to be replaced by the dollar.” archive.ph/AktCB#select...

Polanyi on how fascism rescues capitalism which is in a deadlock with democracy 'The fascist solution[...] can be described as a reform of market economy achieved at the extirpation of all democratic institutions[...] The economic system which was in peril of disruption would thus be revitalized'

Very excited to have received a cover for my forthcoming book States of Innovation with @brisunipress.bsky.social! The book explores innovation policies adopted by the Federal government & state governments in Maine, Michigan, California, and Texas in response to the 2008 Global Financial Crisis

Kalecki on why neo-Nazis promote laissez-faire policies "oil interests... Bank of America... are all "young" and "dynamic". They are not particularly worried about slumps because they think that they will increase their possessions at the expense of "old" capitalists"; thinking about Trump & finance

www.perc.org.uk/project_post... In this blogpost at @goldperc.bsky.social I discuss why Keynes believed that capital controls were essential to the economic and democratic management of Western societies

Controlling Capital - Political Economy Research Centre

Capital controls are restrictions on international capital flows which may include taxes, prohibitions, or approvals. These restrictions were used extensively in the post-war era but progressively los...

My assumption is that Labour understands that it has to offer expansive fiscal solutions to restore trust in British democracy. The problem is not expansive policy, it's that financial markets curtail Labour's policy space

www.zdf.de/nachrichten/... As far as I can tell, this is the most left-wing SPD manifesto I have seen in my lifetime (progressive capital gains tax, higher tax for top incomes and the wealthy). To regain trust they should explain why they didn't pursue these policies for most of the past 30 years

Wahlprogramm der SPD: Zur Bundestagswahl 25-mal "kämpfen"

Einkommenssteuern runter, Mindestlohn rauf, stabile Renten: Worauf die SPD mit Scholz in ihrem "Regierungsprogramm" zur Bundestagswahl setzt.

My new article is out!! Capital controls critically shaped the evolution of export/finance-led economies. The Bundesbank used controls on innovative financial products until 1998 and hindered Frankfurt's development into a vibrant financial hub doi.org/10.1093/ser/...

images.app.goo.gl/7YoU9Wo9v7Km... In fall 2007, 2 FOMC members objected to propping up financial markets based on moral hazard concerns. Bernanke explained mh was 'misunderstood', and the FOMC settled on a rule that micro moral hazard was bad but (supporting indi banks) macro moral hazard was ok

There is a lot of talk about how politics spook financial markets, but rarely how financial markets spook politics 💁‍♀️

Polls project that the AfD will become the second largest party in the next Bundestag (19% vote share) - SPD currently at 15%. And instead offering a well presented/communicated social alternative, the SPD sends their extremely unpopular Chancellor into the ring... www.tagesschau.de/inland/komme...

Kommentar: Die SPD rumpelt in den Wahlkampf
