Obviously 2020 was a horrible year for the UK economy. But this only serves to highlight the 1921 deflationary contraction after World War I. ft.com/content/31364c… https://t.co/Dg7alK4f7I

@basiloberholzer @socialeurope @econotw Of course. Why not? My purpose was simply to take two of the most conventional sources imaginable and see what they envision. More radical experiments are surely possible and welcome.

@brian11kim Check out the debate with Helen Thomposon on @TPpodcast_ which I reference. I use the word “defy” not “violate”.

@jman17 @globalhlthtwit Hi @jman17 as you know point of @socialeurope piece is how to decide whether decarbonization is realistic. I say: "well here is a compass and it says we can do this”. You say: “compass is biased”. Ok. So now I need to know what your compass is and whether it says we can do this?

@FADCLDN @GChamedes @meadwaj @DissentMag @jrhopkin My read of Draghi’s Die Zeit interview was that he said that he was a liberal socialist back in the day i.e. the 1970s and therefore didn’t have a clear party alignment. Teaching at the newly founded and rather radical faculty of economics at Trento was a bit uncomfortable!

Unlike colleagues in markets Im not familiar with stress of making a call on a banking regulation and its impact on bond markets. But after Chartbook Newsletter #16 I have to say the news from Treasuries this am comes as a relief. Check it out adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-ne… https://t.co/2gTGOCZaoN

@jman17 @globalhlthtwit Fair enough. But would you apply the same logic to the European Commission too? The agreement btw the two is dramatic. Just group think? Im open to that idea. But what, then, is your source of transition modeling?

@JohnRentoul @MadameButcher Yes. But this isnt an effect of the war. Obs. They were just regular working class folk.

What to expect on path to decarbonization in Europe? If you take projections by @EU_Commission @McKinsey seriously the energy transition is far less dramatic than deindustrialization or automation to come!
