ADAM TOOZE

@aeleeds @DanielaGabor @cbeyzad @BuddyYakov @dmwoodruff @csissoko @crmiller1 @irl_neil I know you are pissed off, but seriously Adam simmer down.

@aeleeds @cbeyzad @DanielaGabor @BuddyYakov @dmwoodruff @csissoko @crmiller1 @irl_neil Can we all chill. Can we also recognize that 1990s IMF stuff, conditionality etc is not antiquarian academic, esp if you come from one of the countries directly affected. And lets wrap a fantastic and intense conversation.

Folks really need to check out @DanielaGabor staggering book on 1990s: Central Banking and Financialization: A Romanian Account of how Eastern Europe became Subprime (Studies in Economic Transition) Mind-blowing. amazon.com/Central-Bankin… https://t.co/cuxITfpmO9

@DanielaGabor @aeleeds @BuddyYakov @dmwoodruff @csissoko @crmiller1 @irl_neil So sorry @DanielaGabor I am sure that was not Adam Leeds’ intention. In any case, you know how your Romania 1990s book totally blew my mind. I’d like to thank folks for chipping into this epic conversation. Any chance anyone knows how to blogroll it somehow?

@DanielaGabor @aeleeds @BuddyYakov @dmwoodruff @csissoko @crmiller1 @irl_neil Please don’t Daniela. In what sense is macro not being taken seriously? Adam Leeds is just offering a different and deeply sourced account of the inside politics of the 1990s programs.

Is BHL losing his mind, or am I misunderstanding him? Is his claim that Taliban are some kind of peripheral backlash against true power, which lies not with them, but with young women emancipating themselves ???????? twitter.com/evil_SDOC/stat…

@DanielaGabor We have a story of a domestically driven breakdown from late 1980s to rupture in 1992. Then all hell breaks loose and this melange of internal and external factors, interests and ideas begins really to get to work.

@DanielaGabor NO NEED for apology. Its been totally fascinating. Im just trying to get the various strands clear in my head.

Confirming that the argument at this point is all about policy post 1992, whereas where I started out – which was the China/Russia comparison – is all about 1985-1992. Thats where the gradualism debate, such as it is, is focused, not macro policy choices post-92. twitter.com/DanielaGabor/s…

@BuddyYakov @DanielaGabor @dmwoodruff @csissoko @crmiller1 @irl_neil @aeleeds For sake of clarity as far as Russia goes I don’t see anyone making case for viability of gradual price liberalization BUT widespread agreement on need for more open-handed and targeted credit policy post liberalization to sustain SOE

@JobbingLeftieH Precisely, different brands of Trotskyism presumably. But were are those narratives actually spelled out in book/article form?

@csissoko @DanielaGabor @dmwoodruff @BuddyYakov @crmiller1 @irl_neil @aeleeds And the more refined the conceptual critique becomes – credibility -> representative agent -> competitive equilibrium – the harder I have to swallow. Bad concepts are “the problem" here? Not saying that we can tell a story without ideas, but …

@csissoko @DanielaGabor @dmwoodruff @BuddyYakov @crmiller1 @irl_neil Im entirely sympathetic to your critique of a certain sort of econ & even more with those who suffered the crises, but what I find really hard to swallow is the attribution of so much historical agency to a bunch of misguided economists. Bringing @aeleeds in here.
