Wow. SPD has now inched ahead of the Greens in the latest German poll. Scholz has emerged as only obvious successor to Merkel in the eyes of many voters. twitter.com/COdendahl/stat…

@ShazCoder In fact if you go back to Hamilton Project in 2000s the same idea is already present. It is one of the ideas that brought Obama into Rubin orbit. The question is whether they can actually address issues of redistribution, income/wealth tax etc.
During the Trump years, Jake Sullivan, now Biden’s National Security Advisors and key staffers drove @CarnegieEndow project on “US Foreign policy for the middle class”.

As both climate policy and financial crisis make clear – @vpalsmith33 is absolutely right – cognitive dissonance and post-truthism are no monopoly of the “populists”! They define our “normality". For a recent case in point check out Chartbook #32 : adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-32… twitter.com/vpalsmith33/st…
Earlier in 2021 there was optimism about endgame for fossil fuels. Great & if it moves capital markets, self-fulfilling. But we gotta pay attention to countervailing force of energy markets. With oil at $70 they are biting back. Check out Newsletter adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-32… https://t.co/RtnWfeIeNl

Ethiopia, South Africa and Nigeria were once seen as the powerhouses of a resurgent Africa. The development of all three in 2021 has been alarming. @tylercowen right to sound an alarm. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl… https://t.co/tXrboqoznb
@SteveGreenleaf Of course, I completely agree. I’m just told it is dead as a dodo in political terms and you are labeled “non planetary" if you remind people of it.
Ask OPEC to pump more! … @MkBlyth and I both got a bit riled up this this week. 🙂 twitter.com/MkBlyth/status…
Nothing wrong with the US engaging with OPEC, but the question is on what issues: a slight bump in oil prices or the long-term future of decarbonization. Chartbook #32 reacts to NSA’s Sullivan’s statement. Check it out here: adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-32… https://t.co/ZHbnUFhcax

Love the way early business-cycle analysis looks to the sinews of economic activity: blast furnace activity etc. thanks for this! twitter.com/crossbordercap…
@vshih2 Your point about understanding central bank independence not as detachment from political force fields, but as a specific configuration of those fields is SO SPOT ON!
@vshih2 I find it very compelling indeed. I don’t know whether you ever had a chance to look at Gerald Feldman’s magnum opus on the Weimar inflation, Great Disorder, but I think you would find a lot of interest there.
How to develop a Machiavellian, tactical approach to our politico-intellectual situation? Delighted by this formulation of @jkkusiak I think @DanielaGabor will like it too! geog.cam.ac.uk/people/kusiak/ https://t.co/kZY6WbW3mr

@michaeldobsonNY Hey. This is a brilliant thread. Im not incurious about OPEC, ON THE CONTRARY. But there are limits to what you can do in a 900 word piece aimed at a particular target i.e. the Biden admin. Have you written up your fascinating take on OPEC anywhere? I would love to cite.

Dear Amine this is brilliant work. Is the choice to focus on adaptation rather than mitigation tactical? The housing sector is also a key driver of emissions. Don’t we need to move towards mortgages that are both net zero in emissions terms and resilient in your sense? twitter.com/amine_ouazad/s…
@nfergus Cheers Niall. The entire discourse of "50 years of endless war" etc seems misplaced. The 1980s numbers are the most mind-boggling thing I have run across in a while!
