Why does the largest trading bloc on the planet have a miniature-sized currency? With Trump, the EU will again much regret this. 🎈In a new working paper, @steffenmurau.bsky.social and I set out to theorise failure and develop a new IPE perspective that foregrounds offshore money. A thread 🧵

Is the European Central Bank losing its independence by getting too political? Our new open access highlights how the ECB’s increasing involvement in crises and political issues has led to debates about its legitimacy and the need for stronger accountability. Issue: shortt.link/pag386bsky

📊 Last week, we released our new central bank speeches database, which almost doubles the coverage of the @BIS_org database. We also released a tool to facilitate research on central bank communication: meet the #CBSpeeches explorer! Four tools for the price of one (=free!)

Are you also still baffled by Trump's inauguration 🇺🇸, wondering what he will do next, how successful his policies will be and (frankly) why he is even there? Our new book "Understanding Political Economy: Capitalism, Democracy and Inequality", released today, can help with that! (Link below)

How widely (or not) the benefits of new technologies like AI are distributed is a crucial political-economy question. This paper finds evidence that collective wage bargaining helps ensure that the gains are not captured primarily by capital owners and high-skill workers. @wzwysen.bsky.social

Not happy this became so timely, but here we are. It's a very sharp piece, underpinned by two (!) new working papers: One tests the 'cost shocks as coordinators' mechanism behind sellers' inflation; the other traces fossil fuel profits to shareholders. We just uploaded both, links below.

This summer, I read Manuela Moschella's new book "Unexpected Revolutionaries", and wrote a short review for Competition and Change. Spoiler alert: it's a great book that provides a refreshing account of central banking transformations in the past 15 years journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

As promised (threatened?), I made a starter pack of heterodox and political economists! You'll see a range of pluralist theories here, as well as some heterodox-friendly economists that may be more mainstream. go.bsky.app/J86RtKh
