In HD in early 1980s I was taught by a senior Gymnasialprofessor At one point he said, Tooze you should read LTI by Klemperer. I go to Ziehank & ask to order it. Caused a big to do.

Loitering munition … what a horrifying image. If drones loiter, what do mines do … sleep? Lurk? Presumably derived from loitering with intent. The OED of the forever wars. A LTI (Klemperer) for the drone age. twitter.com/A7_Mirza/statu…
Italy is generally thought of as being in cockpit of capitalist crisis in the 1970s. Strikingly, in this great paper by Storm, profit share data hardly suggest a crisis.

@tedfertik @policytensor @SecYellen Spot on, often stuff that looks structural is actually “just” GOP/class-politics + liberal self-paralysis. In 2013 Krugman is invoking Kalecki. Come 2017 it turns out running Econ hot is no problem. There is no balance of class forces in modern US. As Buffet says, his side won.

One of huge problems in communicating about economic policy in Germany is the dramatic incomprehension of economic history.

Just checked: Martin Wolf, like Yellen, born, in 1946! A group biography of North Atlantic baby boomer elites …. NATO’s children. Children of the Marshall Plan. That would be a cool thing to have!

@policytensor @tedfertik @SecYellen Agreed, of course. If I understand correctly where DSGE as such tended to create blindspots was to do with financial stability i.e. 2008. Otherwise, as you say, it is a question of the spec of the Phillips curve.
@davies_will Thank you Will. Its a really interesting question actually about the longevity of elites. A-push-me-pull-you made up of Mervyn King and Mark Carney?
@ScottJourno @Kraemer_HB If you read to many foreign policy pieces I think you run out the clock 🙁
@rightsofflan @TheEconomist And in the 1930s, in no small part of that reason, Western democracies had a hard time figuring out their strategy!

The team that worked on this and other Russian translations of my work were meticulous in their scholarship. Old school! https://t.co/7P4KzqO66Q
