@joesmith323 @ForeignPolicy He is the rare exception and in his thinking I always seem to detect a strong streak of something closer to ordoliberalism than new Keynesianism.
@GChamedes Funny that we both ended up thinking about and writing about Draghi! I envy you your Italian.

@policytensor Hi @policytensor going to have to catch up with this. But as @tedfertik will attest I am a cautious sceptic on the China shock. Like you I dont see how it adds up . Just not big enough to explain big picture effects. Though I do concede there are local and concentrated impacts.
Krugman loves his baby-sitting coop model. Yellen and Akerlof have a baby-sitting model too. Theirs is efficiency wages! nytimes.com/2013/10/10/bus… To grasp actually existing neoliberalism we have to wrap our heads around the inner life of New Keynesianism. foreignpolicy.com/2021/04/01/jan… https://t.co/GJ2TawxAOp
The mini-recession of 2016. H/t @Neil_Irwin nytimes.com/2018/09/29/ups… The ECB & Fed getting out of step on QE. The sharp appreciation of $. The disaster of the Trump election.

In 2003/4 @paulkrugman was on warpath v. Bush & Akerlof was giving radical interviews. Yellen meanwhile would take over at SF Fed.

When you read a piece like this Alan Blinder celebration of flexibility and expansiveness of Greenspan’s Fed policy v. blunt force anti-inflation politics of Volcker, you get a sense of how self-confident US monetary policy elite were in early 2000s. gceps.princeton.edu/wp-content/upl… https://t.co/NRGsdLABZd

In a long read for @ForeignPolicy I track the remarkable half-century careers of Janet Yellen and Mario Draghi foreignpolicy.com/2021/04/01/jan… Both are brilliant minds, obviously, but this Yellen interview from 2004 is particularly agile. The sparring is great. sfgate.com/business/onthe… https://t.co/eb4goOvgmL

"It can be easy to forget that EU might reasonably be expected to outperform the US economy."

Like rest of trans-Atlantic elite, Yellen & Draghi were blindsided by systemic financial crisis of 2008.

The huge surge in Chinese steel production was fed above all from imported iron ore and most of that came from Australia. A plateau was reached in 2016. Can China now reduce its dependence? @Gavekal https://t.co/WradQwBNCy
