Keynes ended the General Theory Of Employment Interest (1936) and money with these words. We forget history too often. If you didn't read it Michael Pettis wrote a small wonderful book: The Volatility Machine.

So is it a good sign when the group chat is debating whether the market this morning is more 2008 vibes or 2020 vibes? (It’s not 2008 conditions but the vibes this morning are extremely 2008 vibes).

ICYMI, I wrote a mini review of Abundance, which I liked on the whole, by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social and @dkthomp.bsky.social They make a lot of good arguments about the need for radically more supply, with a realistic view of how the US's political economy shapes those challenges. t.co/xLeJvXvoiA

Oh hey, I wrote something about Abundance by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social and @dkthomp.bsky.social ; I liked a lot of it, and have two key critiques of it, if you'd like to read that! ninaephd.wordpress.com/2025/03/29/a...

He’s declared war on the legacy automaking industry. He’s raising the price of new suburban homes. He’s causing air travel bookings to plummet. And oil executives increasingly DESPISE him. It’s time for radical climate activists everywhere to see what’s going on: heatmap.news/politics/deg...
