I find it fascinating that “wicked problems” were identified as such, of all years, in 1973. Rittel, Horst W., and Melvin M. Webber. "2.3 planning problems are wicked." Polity 4.155 (1973): e169. csl4d.wordpress.com/2012/12/11/its… https://t.co/dDrysq2mZe

@kevinhorourke @stefanauer_hku @70sBachchan Absolutely. But therein lies the failure of leadership & vision. The failure to declare the exception on behalf of the G20 or UN or some other significant collectivity.

@stefanauer_hku @70sBachchan “Overreaction” i.e. the entrenched liberal fear is that epidemics are an excuse for illiberal protectionist tendencies to manifest themselves. Johnson’s Greenwich speech in early March was absolutely textbook.

Any realistic historical account of climate politics has to be an account of the dissonance embodied by this graph. I.e. We know enough to invest in this knowledge and produce this graph, but powerful forces then ensure that we dont actually change its shape. @MuellerTadzio twitter.com/Fischblog/stat…
WOW this seems kinda explosive. Empirical “proof” claimed for existence of a self-promoting, QE-"thought collective" in central banking.
