Pet Peeve alert. The Melian dialogue expresses might makes right. Fair. But Thucydides' wider argument is that if you act on this, before long you lack friends in time of need; the Athenians had it coming.

unreasonably excited for a second before realizing professor Robert F. Taft was not Senator Robert A. Taft. Not quite as bad as the "Arthur Burns" situation they had going on in the twentieth century, but still wrong on principle that they let this happen

Atlanta Fed GDPNow forecast of 2025Q1 GDP growth took a big nose dive yesterday from a forecast of 2.3% GDP growth rate to -1.5% GDP contraction. What is underneath that? www.atlantafed.org/cqer/researc...

The great @tiltingatm3.bsky.social on the completely misguided tendencies of US intellectual history over the past three decades. Basically: why we need to study more boring bureaucrats, fewer edgelords.

Typical failure of ambition in a history dissertation from @tiltingatm3.bsky.social. Shameful.

Ah, dissertation fieldwork w/central bankers--a unique social ecosystem that requires reading between the lines & stepping carefully. So great to see how far CB scholars have moved beyond my initial efforts to understand the politics at work in things purportedly apolitical like monetary policy.

Veblen’s capital controversy (against Fisher): monopoly power can be capitalized, and it’s zero-sum against someone, so it doesn’t make any sense to sum capitals up to an aggregate. This also causes inherent instability of credit.

I wrote an article for @phenomenalworld.bsky.social about how narratives on 1970s Britain, about particularly the 1974-79 Labour government, misrepresent the experience of that government and the possibilities that it contained, including several alternatives to Thatcherism

5 years ago, @JeromeRoos published a terrific book, “Why not Default?” He argues that when the creditor cartel is united, countries do not default. In tomorrow’s lecture on sovereign debt crises, I ask my students whether Zambia & Sri Lanka prove he was right? 🙂

wait, wait, wait, centrists are really arguing that the leftist group that the Dems shouldn't have listened to is the antitrust movement?! 🤯 You mean clearly one of the single most popular pieces of the Biden administration?! and one that Harris made a point not to mention?!

What does “manifold” mean? From context I gather it means “a lot” but if so why not just say that. The only people who use that word these days are Marxoids and topologists

China’s central government is not yet trying to boost HH share of income, but is instead taking over debt from local governments, which can then in turn take over debt from their financing vehicles. What I want to know is: what’s the central government asking for in return?
