Im intrigued by the discourse of Italian geopolitics. With the magic of google translate to hand I’ve decided to take out a trial subscription to @limesonline I think there is an English edition too, but hard to spot which is which. limesonline.com https://t.co/wKeHY7uV9Z

For deep background on Italian elites and their reliance on vincolo esterno strategies this by Manilo Graziano is contentious & fascinating. For the more recent history see my latest for @ForeignPolicy foreignpolicy.com/2021/04/01/jan… And Chartbook Newsletter #18 adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-ne… https://t.co/xr8UEvU7bt

Populist challenge to Italian political system was fired by two moments of crisis: 1992-4 and 2011. Mario Draghi in frontline of both. This by Orsina (2019) goes well with the long read on Draghi and Yellen in @ForeignPolicy foreignpolicy.com/2021/04/01/jan… tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… https://t.co/mU3uy3Z1MK

@nboserup Totally fair. Speer’s efforts to distance himself from Sauckel were cowardly. The two were de facto joined at the hip from 1942. One essential to the other.

One of really strange phenomena of peak euro angst around 2015 was the idea that a return to EMS would offer some kind of relief. It was, unsurprisingly, an idea more popular on the German left than elsewhere. This paper by Höpner and Spielau nails it. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… https://t.co/XzMguhU080

Calling all editors. What could be a better moment for an ENGLISH edition? After Merkel, Draghi be the uncrowned king of Europe! Or at least the joint head with Macron. Have an updated edition out by the fall … no brainer! twitter.com/JohnEGlover/st…

In 1998 Solow & Modigliani, Draghi’s MIT PhD supervisors cosigned a manifesto on unemployment in EU calling for supply side measures to be combined with reflation.

March 1985: When the years of lead touched Italian economics. Ezio Tarantelli killed by the Red Brigade for his role in 1984 Valentine decrees on wage indexation. Like Draghi, one of Caffè’s students. See Chartbook Newsletter #18 adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-ne… https://t.co/fXGVF6DB4r

The economic policy paradigm shaped by the 1970s may finally have outlived itself. Ironic therefore that Yellen and Draghi – thoroughbred exponents of that model – should have come out of retirement at this moment. A new long read.

Somehow I missed this: "Fox News apologizes for on-air graphic showing market reaction to violence against black men”. And that term here includes MLK!

Climate component of the Biden infrastructure program is unprecedented. But by itself it is not large enough. Must be counting on (a) technological breakthroughs from R&D (b) private finance.
