In a K-shaped recovery it turns out state/city budgets feel the pain more through expenditure than revenue. Better off Americans are doing fine and they are the main tax base -> California and NYC revenue far ahead of projections. Muni market relaxed. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… https://t.co/ii1xkgrVJ7
Nigeria’s rapidly growing society cannot cope on 5.4GW of grid electricity supply -> uses 20 m strong army of small electric generators. That boost power to 42GW. @A2EI_ For more on dilemmas of Nigerian development see Chartbook Newsletter #10. adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-ne… https://t.co/Kehgmg0x36

@magi_jay Hi … you made me smile. Im not reading the way I would like in the WWII area right now. But @daniel_todman @Alan_Allport @DEHEdgerton are all favorites. @Robert___Harris V2 is a really interesting WWII historical novel.
Carl Schmitt has served @BrunoLatourAIME as a way of framing politics since the Parliament of Things, particularly prominently in Facing Gaia. We started debating the implications when Bruno visited Yale in 2013. Here a belated response from my side: e-flux.com/journal/114/36… https://t.co/7ybEb4qfH6
New “After Escape: The New Climate Power Politics” – a response to some of @BrunoLatourAIME recent writing on climate politics, in e-flux! A very cool journal I frankly never imagined I would write for. e-flux.com/journal/ https://t.co/qsumm9UHu4
@RichPuchalsky @KatharinaPistor @MESandbu Im generally not very persuaded by arguments that run in terms of “the nature of capitalism” or even “the model of capitalism”. I shouldn’t speak for him, but I figure the same is probably true for @MESandbu at least his pieces imply as much.
@30RoE @KatharinaPistor @MESandbu Have you read the @MESandbu pieces? One of his conclusions is that we are headed into a world of more politicized negotiation and there are multiple possible outcomes.
