@DavidPa37498911 I fear there is no alternative and so we should face up to it. But it would certainly be naive not to face the risks that also come with it.

@notmobydick @valentinaromei @FT I completely agree. And such commitments and entanglement have been defaulted on again and again.

@menakadoshi Thanks Menaka. Much appreciated.

We may not have created a viable state in Afghanistan, but we should not pretend that intervention did not change society & shape millions of lives! And that creates a responsibility @valentinaromei excellent overview in @FT pairs well with Chartbook #29. adamtooze.substack.com/p/adam-toozes-… https://t.co/1NHpsP2T0E

@JasonIoannou @TheEconomist Its a term of art and refers to cramming, forced tutoring, rote learning for exams I believe. In a general sense it sticks in the gullet.

@iArmiiin @TheEconomist Yup. “race” and class compound. I well remember terror of the Probearbeit that decided Gymnasium v. Real- v. Hauptschule. The dark social fears that lurked. But once you were on other side gymnasium was super-chill. “Sitzenbleiben” i.e. repeating a year was your only real risk.

@RassBariaw @dmwoodruff @jrhopkin Its a first approximation short-hand. No more.

The economy is not “flat" is a fantastic phrase. I’ve been struggling for something like that for the last few days. twitter.com/FlyingWithSara…

“”overeducation" is less common in Germany” @TheEconomist Links this to fact that Germany sorts "children early into academic or vocational schools” I can think of a truly cynical story here: "class distinction is sorted. So relax” But is that right? economist.com/finance-and-ec… https://t.co/6MwMZmt4L9

Brexit shock over? The price of gerbils in Northern Ireland has been falling fast. I kid you not. This is priceless tongue in cheek data feed. Wonderful! twitter.com/peterdonaghy/s…

@dmwoodruff Thank you David. I’ve been honing that line for a while. Its crude, admittedly, but it makes a point. Thanks for highlighting.

@DianeSwonk Thank you!

The Global War on Terror is the largest collective project around which there has been any degree of unity within US elite in last 20 years. Thats an indictment in itself.
