Trump was supposed to shift government resources into vocational education and help lower-income people train for good-paying blue-collar jobs. You will be shocked to learn that is not what is happening. My @washingtonmonthly.com deep dive: washingtonmonthly.com/2025/06/27/t...

all you need to know about Larry Summers: as US Treasury Secretary, he had Joe Stiglitz kicked out of the World Bank in 1999, Stiglitz, then Chief Economist, had the audacity to question neoliberal mantra that the US Treasury was pushing on the world. 25 years later, the same neoliberal bullshit.

Finished 'Shifty' now by Adam Curtis. His standard fair of disturbing/odd footage with interesting messages put over the top. Huge amount of economics in there, starting with Monetarism & ending on the idea behind the independence of the Bank of England. #EconSky www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Hope: AI can foster inclusive, sustainable growth if its benefits are broadly shared through thoughtful policy & investment in skills & institutions. Fear: Without deliberate governance, AI may deepen inequalities & concentrate economic power, undermining social cohesion & fair opportunity.

We spent decades combatting fake climate science, now we are battling fake climate solutions - at a time when we simply cant afford to make mistakes (last roll of the dice). Oligarchs should not be advising government ⚠️

We talk a lot about data sources and accuracy—but not enough about the concepts behind the data. What are we really trying to measure? How do our classifications shape what we see in society? ⬇️

When private equity owns your doctor, you pay MORE for WORSE care. Their priority is profit. Governor Kotek just signed into law the strongest protections against corporate profiteering in health care. Congress should follow and get private equity out of health care nationwide.

Every so often I remember that interest rates were below 1% for 12 years. I realise this is not "news". Nor is it news that, during that decade-plus, we failed to use the potential of dirt-cheap borrowing to invest in infrastructure projects that we belatedly realised we desperately needed. Hmph.

Tomorrow, we'll hear that the govt budget is tight, which will probably be used to justify spending cuts to vital public services. But as Gordon Brown points out, reversing the tax cuts the last govt gave banks & reducing the amount of interest we pay on their reserves would bring in billions.
