Im struggling to reconcile “historic break” narrative on Bidenomics which I organized around Yellen and @ezraklein has pinned to Deese with modest 1% of GDP pa of the Biden investment plan & the “pay fors”.

America’s income support measures in 2020-2021 are like nothing we have ever seen before. Same can’t be said for Biden’s investment program etc But income support is a real break and that they doubled down in 2021 thedailyshot.com/2021/04/09/us-… https://t.co/k8218ITOHU

@zeithistoriker @davies_will @BaskinJon @psychicyogamat @TPpodcast_ The shift from the 1970s to the 1990s is impressive also in our efforts to make sense of “Bidenomics”. Breaking with Clinton/Blair/Schroeder. I cant help wondering whether there is a an effect simply of passage of time and political generations.

@DovSFriedman @ForeignPolicy @ezraklein And I’ve got a big piece on @paulkrugman coming out soon with @LRB that meshes, if anything, even more closely with the @ezraklein take on 2021, by way of @MattZeitlin read of period since 2017.
@DovSFriedman @ForeignPolicy I was about to tweet the same thing. Its like @ezraklein has panned out to thee broader picture of the admin whereas I traced the trajectory of the technocrats …. To arrive at the same place.

Only in 1890s did % of students studying natural sciences and math at German universities overtake the share studying theology! One for @PeterMandler1 from Becker, Cinnirella, Hornung (2021) Theology on left scale, math and natsci on right. Tricky 🙁 https://t.co/um9pJ0Kjs8
Btw 1872 and 1921 curricula in Prussian elementary schools (c. 2/3 of imperial Germany) gave as much time to religion as to maths and geometry. Not sure about “Realien” but some melange of science, geography and history? Becker, Cinnirella, Hornung (2021) https://t.co/dtGLGfJI8Z
In 1852 there were only 2 towns in Germany with population > 100k 1871 there were 8 In 1914 48. https://t.co/2WXOv6OUB4
Rise in elementary school attendance is one of the most basic transformations of the 19th century across US and Europe. Becker, Cinnirella, Hornung (2021) https://t.co/eYtmCPtHf5
How centralized were fiscal states before 1914? Great data from Spoerer on share of tax revenue going to government below national level. Max in Switzerland v. Most centralized in France. Both the US and Imperial Germany are very decentralized. https://t.co/K2DnuKkNek
German emigration (overwhelmingly to the USA) followed a dramatic profile in the 19th century. Late peak in the early 1880s is particularly striking! Jopp & Streb (2021) https://t.co/esMK8ZtOH3
Btw 1865 and 1879 Germany experienced a globalization shock I+x/gdp surged from 20 to 38.5% at same time the cost of leasing land v. Wages plunged. Really fundamental stuff this from Pfister. IN new volume on economic history of German unification. https://t.co/bfIKLVWOW0
