ADAM TOOZE

This conversation with @KaiserKuo on @SinicaPodcast was really memorable. One of those podcasts were you end up going places you don't necessarily expect to go. A real “live”, improvisational experience. A privilege. twitter.com/supchinanews/s…

Had a chance to talk again to @KaiserKuo I learn so much from talking to him about China. Listen in. Really recommended. twitter.com/supchinanews/s…

@KaiserKuo Dear Kaiser, an absolute privilege. Thank you for the conversation.

@johnmgrant6556 Thank you. Thats very kind of you to say.

@ennuid1 Yup. Absolutely. Dont find the casualty you suggest very persuasive at all with regard to GWOT. More so with regard to 1991. Obs with regard to WWII etc

@paulkrugman My point was that WWII was the war that actually gave rise to a fully fledged doctrine of functional finance, which somehow gets forgotten when we come to criticizing a bad war.

@nayyerali10 @longhorncraiger @paulkrugman Yup. You can even end up with the surreal situation of Trump claiming to have done more for black Americans than any President since Lincoln, on account of his tax cuts helping to run the labour market hot.

@longhorncraiger @paulkrugman Thats the Brown Costs of War estimate that seems IMHO to be based on a rather dubious back of the envelope calculation.

@Diane68500440 Thank you.

@paulkrugman Glad you agree with the gist Paul. All I meant about WWII is that it set the stage for Abba Lerner. Perhaps I should have said that in so many words.

What an incredible effect this is … so thought-provoking. Thank you for posting. twitter.com/RobinMacArthur…

@charles_dennery Amazing. Thanks.

@rich_truman @MkBlyth Thank you.

@glw1954 Thank you.

@apcbapcb Thank you.

@umaenauman20211 Thank you for your support.

@GhoshAmitav Thank you Amitav (If I may). Truly honored.

@sonusvarghese Thank you for signing up!

@WiseTenderSnob Thats extremely well put, if I may say. I might borrow that if I may 🙂

@WiseTenderSnob Yup. But it cuts both ways. The actually doing … that is the question.

World War II – an ideologically motivated total war – acted as a solvent for Victorian common sense about budgetary orthodoxy etc. Check out Chartbook #34. adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-34… twitter.com/gbildson/statu…

"Anything we can actually do we can afford.” This Keynes quote has been rattling around my head. Chartbook #34 uses it to hook up Deluge-Wages ofD-Crashed and Shutdown with Global War on Terror. Sometimes things just fall into place! Check it out here: adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-34… https://t.co/urPEHMdkId

@glw1954 Thank you!

@charles_dennery Say more.

@MkBlyth Thanks Mark. What I was struggling with was precisely the disconnect. Thinking x and thinking y and being concerned that they didn’t quite go.

@dschnaepp Oh truly not. One thing Germany does not have to be ashamed about. 🙂

@McCaineNL OMG it is such a gift …. A forever powerpoint slide if there ever was one!

The black zero complete with leather boy cap. Is this a comedy account? In which case kudos! Germany’s “Conservative party” says it stands by its fetisch. twitter.com/CDU/status/119…
