Did a piece for @NewStatesman on China’s long 20th century. Bookended by J.A.Hobson and @LHSummers Thanks to @GavJacobson @Tom_Gatti for commissioning. https://t.co/ND1ReDi6LJ https://t.co/FHRR6yXCwp
The dates have mood forward, thankfully, but there is still a 12 month lag btw US recovery to pre-covid GDP and EU hitting the same mark. What Europe needs to do is run a “high pressure” economy. Great piece this by @COdendahl cer.eu/insights/europ… https://t.co/DByuh7NwcZ

Labour force participation is ambiguous but important index of how a capitalist, wage labour based society is doing. As @COdendahl points out in this great piece both EU and US have room to grow. Most output gap measures are nonsense! H/t @RobinBrooksIIF cer.eu/insights/europ… https://t.co/xePxDlk3wm
"a lot of the measures & metrics we use now to track the economy are ones that we created almost a century ago. So data that we have now tell a story about the economy that I think in many ways is misleading.” @HBoushey & @RanaForoohar in conversation. ft.com/content/33a861… https://t.co/QE2MZCFMWC
"beware the rhetoric of inflationary reaction. A perversity thesis joined to naked self-interest should not guide policy, no matter how hard it is to get that folk model out of our heads.” Predictably, I love this by @MkBlyth theguardian.com/commentisfree/… https://t.co/ohG5j2LLz4
"Japan’s expressions of alarm about China are often drowned out in global cacophony of concern over Beijing’s assertiveness. But Japan’s latest white paper reflects what may be largest shift in Tokyo’s security stance in more than 70 years.” @KathrinHille ft.com/content/9ce326… https://t.co/PoM4KXMVsi
As @MkBlyth reminds us, the rhetoric of reaction according to Hirschman oscillates btw perversity, futility & jeopardy.theguardian.com/commentisfree/…Wished I had known this when I wrote this critique of Streeck’s Buying time.

@jjimeneza1972 @MariusGhincea @MkBlyth Generally ideology IS contradictory? It is a repertoire of “knock down” arguments, a tool kit for the purpose of answering progressives.
Has anyone updated Hirschman’s Rhetoric of Reaction? conservative arguments are one of 3: perversity – raising taxes means less revenue; futility – voting changes nothing; and jeopardy – if you give the vote to poor people, you get revolution H/t @MkBlyth https://t.co/NwvdtSoJan
