@nils_gilman or should that be the dime …?

@nils_gilman maybe the thing to do is use plural grid to map American power …. Then maybe the penny will drop!

@HellePanke @adam_tooze It should be noted that the antisemitic Hungarian government is getting rid of a Lukacs' sculpture in Budapest.

@HellePanke @adam_tooze Lukacs' archives has also been closed by the Hungarian ruling party. A disgraceful act with obvious intents.

@nils_gilman but its fallen on deafening silence so I may keep it to myself and post about America, which is what people seem to react to 🙂

@nils_gilman my next move was going to be to test my back of envelope list against things like tariff classifications, sectoral GDP data etc

@nils_gilman fascinating. Obviously its a matter of elementary logic. But to see it spelled out as an analytic method is truly interesting.

@jonsindreu Politics of EZ extend and pretend may be toxic. But I don’t buy argument that that toxicity goes away when you break EZ up.

@jonsindreu you can’t evaluate technical merits of breaking up of euro wo politics of that project = awful naivety of Lexit folks

@jonsindreu that obviously a bit part of my beef with Streeck. your excellent point cuts both ways.

@jonsindreu could not agree more!

@jonsindreu now … given where we have ended up the big question is what would be the political and economic costs of breakup? ENORMOUS imho

@jonsindreu As historian I’m deeply interested in HOW it got messed up what nature of drivers was and how discourse operates around that.

@jonsindreu Ill happily admit (can’t speak for @MESandbu) that it EZ has huge problems so long as you admit that those are political!

@jonsindreu I get what you mean. But I think the intention is actually to expose that argument is fully political all the way up and down.

@nils_gilman can you recommend good writing about this?

@Fykomfei @MESandbu … but extend and pretend does necessitate a particularly brutal and counterproductive form of austerity.

@Fykomfei @MESandbu well … austerity is generic … its actually “extend and pretend” and conduct of ECB monetary policy that are EZ specific.

@nils_gilman thanks for explanation. I guess there is a social scientist/engineer bit of me that never gave up pining for MECE…

@nils_gilman Hi nils … it really is rough sketch … MECE is the McKinsey thing? Looks interesting. Anything on catalogues, Taxonomies, grids.

@GrkStav in purely political terms tusk may even be right about tsipras.hollande tusk renzi all "dead". He and Merkel survive! Sort of …

@GrkStav after all that, we HAVE to be pragmatic! no emotion. No issues of pride or respect. Amazing double-think.

@GrkStav the frankness, the rather wild historical vision. "More Montesquieu less Rousseau". Polish ordoliberalism. And then the naivety.
