@yeselson @rafkhach @dbessner Ohm its my own psycho-intellectual well-being I’m worried about!

@yeselson @rafkhach @dbessner At some future point, in the "Chartbook on Shutdown” sequence.

@yeselson @rafkhach @dbessner Actually I regret saying even that much tbh.

@yeselson @rafkhach @dbessner Couldn’t agree more.

@yeselson @rafkhach @dbessner I dont know that we are arguing. You tweeted: "Wondering how @adam_tooze would respond to my remark here?” I’m responding.

@yeselson @rafkhach @dbessner Sure …but you in no way “do justice" to historic fascism if you apply that label to this 21st-century US formation.

@yeselson @rafkhach @dbessner And counter-majoritarian is definitely =/= fascist. It would seem to be stance of a large part of the GOP.

@yeselson @rafkhach @dbessner Dont disagree. In fact, say exactly that in the conclusion to Shutdown. And in another tweet a second ago.

@yeselson @dbessner I think the important thing is to disaggregate "business elites" into at least three groups: corporate managerial elite -> Biden (e.g. "you need a psychiatrist and a lawyer” Dimon); billionaire VC/PE depends on personal preferences; SME -> GOP.

@rafkhach @yeselson @dbessner My point precisely. And I think we know what the circumstances would have been under which that might not have been the case.

@yeselson @dbessner Of course one can find reactionary plutocrats to back all sorts of causes. Thats very different from the situation of facing a seriously powerful left-wing labour movement against background of actual revolution.

If you look at month on month inflation, not yoy & index of Personal Consumption Expenditures rather than CPI, what we are seeing in the US right now is not accelerating but decelerating inflation! @MESandbu Lucid as ever. ft.com/content/dcc4bd… https://t.co/u9WjuVX9zp

@Metatone2 @auralflaneur @meadwaj I like both these points. In some ways (5) subject formation is the most resilient of all and we are all in so many ways entangled in it ;(

By 2025, based on current enrolment, China will be graduating twice as many STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) PhDs as the US. @Gavekal via @SoberLook thedailyshot.com/2021/09/02/man… https://t.co/W7EeQ9p4k5

Inflation is probably slowing not accelerating! @MESandbu Lucid as ever. Post-covid shock it is more informative to look at instantaneous price inflation — the month-on-month change in seasonally adjusted prices. ft.com/content/dcc4bd… https://t.co/M3Iqa2fSw1

@jordanschnyc @ShanyDrainy @M_C_Klein Ahhh … hence the weird jumpiness in the podcasts! Must remember never to use any filler words. What are the cues it triggers too?

@auralflaneur Thank you! Headlines don’t capture deep ambiguity/complexity. We need to distinguish (1) Ideology (2) practice of power @meadwaj (3) class project (4) geopolitics Some would want to add (5) subject formation. It is on (1) & (4) that break/“end” etc is most plausible.
