Que le jeu de yoyo de Trump avec les marchés financiers soit mû par l’excès de confiance ou au contraire par sa peur de ne plus pouvoir financer la dette US, cela pourrait très mal finir dans une sphère financière gonflée à bloc comme une norme bulle ! www.lemonde.fr/idees/articl...

André Orléan, compagnon de route de Michel Aglietta, rappelle combien l’économiste a su révolutionner la pensée sur la monnaie et la manière dont il a pris des risques tout au long de sa féconde et brillante carrière.

1/n Michel Aglietta passed away. He was one of the founders of the French "regulation school." As a researcher, teacher & debater, he has profoundly influenced how French economists approach capitalism, technology, financial systems and money -not just the regulationists themselves Some HET reads:

En fuldstændig skandaløs sag. Ministeren @kaaredybvad.bsky.social kunne passende erklære klart og tydeligt, at den slags under ingen omstændigheder må ske, og at regeringen snarest vil tage et initiativ på dette område. Men nej, der kommer formodentlig ikke til at ske noget som helst - desværre.

Cette semaine, dans notre lettre d'information, nous rendons hommage à Michel Aglietta Grâce aux apports fondamentaux de la théorie de la régulation, ils nous a démontré les vertus de l'analyse du capitalisme sur le temps long, qui peut nous éclairer dans la période trouble que nous traversons.

1. A few days ago the French economist Michel Aglietta passed away. He was one of the founders of French school of "Régulation" (different from regulation in English) - an important school of heterodox political economy taking inspiration from Marxism, post-Keynesian thinking, institutionalism etc.

Just saw the news on Bluesky that Michel Aglietta has died. Very sad. As controversial as the regulation school was in political economy circles, it is one of the most important theories of the transition in the 1970s and helped keep Marxist economic and social theory alive:

Sad News. Aglietta's works and regulation school theory has been central for my own understanding of contemporary capitalism and lays behind so much of the best political economy analysis of the last four decades.

Är det konstigt med heilande miljardärer som vill krossa staten? Inte ett dugg. Dagens högerpopulism är inget uppror mot nyliberalismen, utan en avart, som börjat definiera hierarkier och gränser som frihet. Jag recenserar Quinn Slobodians nya bok ”Hayek’s Bastards”.
