@MunibAgha Und das wirklich Perverse ist, es muss gar nichts mit Werten zu tun haben. Es geht um das Eigeninteresse! Es ist nicht mehr als Realpolitik im Zeitalter des Anthropozaens.

@LuukvMiddelaar I like this formulation of “investment politics” a lot. In my terms its form is that of the project (as opposed to rule and improvisation) and the specific historicity that is its correlate is processual rather than merely mechanistic or the “irrational event”.

Chartbook #76 on ongoing debate about Ukraine-Russia crisis = hugely complex and multi-sided issue about which reasonable people will disagree profoundly. So it has been a pleasure to continue to widen my range of sources with help frm critics of #68. adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-76… https://t.co/w5T1AJLeyy

@LuukvMiddelaar Whether we agree or not, it is an absolute pleasure to engage with work which poses the question of EU contemporary history and future in relation to deep issues of political theory and the philosophy of history.

@LuukvMiddelaar NextGen EU is conceived and justified as long-term investment program. V distinct from US Cares act etc. Green/digital/rule of law are essential not incidental to NextGen EU and its legitimation. Sets up potential clash with BVerfG precisely on these lines.

@LuukvMiddelaar Hi Luuk not sure I agree with you on this. From an immediate economic point of view NextGenEU was irrelevant to the situation in 2020. Response that mattered was ECB and national action enabled by suspension of SGP.

Chartbook #76 just dropped with an update on the ongoing debate about Russian strategy and asymmetric impact of economic tensions. Huge list of h/t including several from the @greygossling list @APHClarkson et al Sign up here adamtooze.substack.com https://t.co/Am26pzwQ2h

@LuukvMiddelaar Another way of formulating my point be would be to ask whether one can really say that EU climate policy really is “something else”.

@LuukvMiddelaar Thanks Luuk for this excellent response. I would agree that your rule v. event politics distinction has become progressively starker. Indeed, the full Pocockian existentialism is absent from Passage to E, but comes to fore in Alarums and is very sharply formulated in Pandemonium.

What if grand bond market/inflation drama is overdone? What if inflation surprises to downside & Fed raises rates slowly? Until quite recently, markets have evinced consistent upward bias in rate expectations. Will hawks be frustrated again? @rbrtrmstrng ft.com/content/3bf4af… https://t.co/KEvFmQ3SJa
