@jonewilson @Modern_Lockey @AnthonyBarnett @AOC I agree. But 1. UK currently seems regressive, 2. US nationalism while obnoxious is more forward-looking. GND being a case in point. If 1940s/Blitz stuff in Britain had more of an @DEHEdgerton feel i.e. more internationalist, it would seem less inadequate.
@twittwoods @M_C_Klein @scottlincicome Yeah. I know. But the paper is meaty.

@tedfertik @TradeDiversion @MikePMoffatt Agreed. Not denying the effect, but placing it in context. Mike’s data on the 2000 break have really got me thinking though … 🙂
China shock? According to the Congressional Research Service, the total share of imports into the United States from Pacific Rim countries between 1990 and 2017 remained constant at 47.1 percent. China displaced Japan as multinationals relocated. cato.org/policy-analysi… https://t.co/Q3epI3GrTZ
@tedfertik @TradeDiversion @MikePMoffatt I wonder whether fall is somewhat obscured in overall employment data by shock of dot.com recession which contractsoverall employment -> manuf/employ ratio doesn’t fall as sharply as you would expect. But long-run trend point stands. “If" you believe in trends.
In US climate policy right now a mantra seems to be “Don’t talk about carbon pricing! Been there. Couldn’t make it work.” Hasn’t been a silver bullet anywhere. But EU/China making some progress.

@Modern_Lockey @AnthonyBarnett @jonewilson Our tweets crossed. You entirely persuaded me on this.
@Modern_Lockey @AnthonyBarnett @jonewilson But to that extent it can also be occupied by the “buccaneering” right. 🙁 A point you brought home to me very forcefully in that discussion.
Why was there no major societal response to the “Asian” flues of 1957 and 1968? As the brilliant @foxjust shows, they were nowhere near as lethal as 2020 Covid, though in 1957 a vaccine drive helped big time. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl… https://t.co/jVzZsrsFv6
Why I’m a bit of a skeptic when it comes to the "China shock". Manufacturing’s share of US employment declines on linear trend btw WWII and 2008. Sure, if you go really close you can see a slightly steeper drop in early 2000s, but then back to trend. cato.org/policy-analysi… https://t.co/icEeqJqI5I
@Modern_Lockey @AnthonyBarnett @jonewilson Hence my one-liner about “being in love with their own radicalism”. BUT this is also where we may differ. What IS essential about GND is that it grasps that reality/anthropocene IS radical. This isn’t 1945 or 1840s. Horizon is shifting ahead of us in weird and dangerous ways.
Btw 2011 and 2019 global carbon pricing revenue surged from $!6.9bn to $47.8bn. Yes, I know you can’t talk about it in Washington! At least not openly. But that shouldnt stop rest of world and certainly not EU even in face of Kerry’s warnings! @I4CE_ i4ce.org/download/globa… https://t.co/iOeLWGkRYz

@Modern_Lockey @AnthonyBarnett Thanks. Thats helpful clarification. But it begs the classic questions of that kind of stealth progressivism. What do you lose by mirroring the tactics of the other side and mapping the terrain the same way? And, are form and substance really separate?
@Modern_Lockey @AnthonyBarnett Dont know what you mean by second-hand editorializing. But the shift in the center of gravity in the Democratic Party was evident from spring of 2020 when Biden scrambled to distance himself from Summers. Since then its been cumulative.
@AnthonyBarnett Your comments @Modern_Lockey at that workshop we both attended were illuminating. In fact I paraphrase you at one point. Read my take as descriptive/ expressive rather than prescriptive. Sorry that resulting picture is ugly. As I start by saying: "What a difference power makes”.
