"getting global pandemic under control would yield >$1trn in additional tax revenues in AE by 2025 & save more in fiscal support .” @MESandbu So why is it such a struggle to scrape together a few bn for COVAX?

@DjangoLeinhardt I am sure you are right. The combination will likely maximize the chance of a two-party black/green coalition rather than some hyper 3-way combination.
@sharonisefi Points taken. On the other hand the Greens seem to profit from right-wing populist turns to which Söder is far more prone than Laschet.
In some ways the most telling question about Markus Söder, Bavaria's populist contender for Merkel’s crown, may be whether he is actually a Bavarian at all. Or, whether fact, he is a Frankonian outsider in Lederhosen drag. politico.eu/article/markus… https://t.co/2rumVvZfjN
If Alpine populist Markus Söder is the CDU/CSU’s likely pick as Chancellor candidate, does that increase tactical voting for the Greens? politico.eu/article/4-reas… https://t.co/9ZB2wQRq9h

@COdendahl @paulkrugman Christian you are too kind. But thank you very much in any case!
@paulkrugman Thank you, both for this and the benefit of reading so much brilliant stuff of yours over the years!
@NathanLazarus3 @paulkrugman @LRB I think you are right about this. But allow the construction as an argumentative device rather than as a truly deep appreciation of the subtly of PK’s position. What one really wants to say is "IS-LM Keynesian" … which would require even more explaining.
@IrvingSwisher Hi Skanda I take your point about the simplification I am involved in here, but we in fact agree on the puzzle.

RT @canablach: Paul Krugman, The Gatekeeper lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v43/… @LRB @adam_tooze Perhaps Krugman’s Martians have arrived after all
@_TimBarker @JamesConran1 Hi Tim, “small”? Trump elected. GOP wants to do a huge tax give away. Regardless of macroeconomic conjuncture and “risk” of running the economy hot, US business says “thank you very much”. Why should they not? The Kaleckian check is non-operative.
An appreciation of Krugman’s trajectory and his latest book serve as another entry point to the transformations of 2020-2021. Thank you as ever to @LRB lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v43/… https://t.co/faOHtfihD0
@_TimBarker I agree and it was in that spirit that I recount Krugman’s Kaleckian flirtation as a significant moment. The bridge btw policy ideas/language and class politics and endogeneity of policy is clearly transformative, however, the dynamics work out specifically.
@_TimBarker So the more telling thing is their support for fiscal stimulus outside the crisis situation, which is what we see after 2017.
The corona pandemic in Brazil is now killing more people per day than in the US at its worst point (I think). Is that correct? thedailyshot.com/2021/04/09/us-… https://t.co/TVBXJBcugV

@HnanicekTerry Did you see my subsequent tweet? I get the social justice logic of the tax increases. What I dont get is capping investment to whatever you can fund through equitable and eminently justified tax increases.
@jfkirkegaard @Holger_Nehring @ThierryBreton @vonderleyen Hi folks. sorry didn’t mean to do anything more than rephrase @jfkirkegaard original riff on the piece. This is the story that the EU should have been riding all along. There is a production triumph here, which depends on keeping borders open.
