The biggest con the political class ever pulled was turning immigration into the issue. Working class communities set against each other while the elites sit back & laugh. The real fight is against poverty, inequality & exploitation not your neighbour. #KnowYourRealEnemy

Ray Dalio is warning that the U.S. could face an “economic heart attack” within the next 3 years. Here’s what he means, why mainstream economists are blind to it, and why this might be the most important economic warning of the decade.

1/ Most economists still treat money as a “veil over barter” as if it’s just a tool to make swapping apples for oranges easier. After half a century in economics, I can tell you: this is dangerously wrong.

Milton Friedman was wrong about almost everything. So why is his zombie economics still running the world? newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

Give the Greens in the UK an MMT lens and I believe they will break through.

@StevenHailAus I fear that James Meadway has found another progressive party to drag into the economic mire. Zack is excited about his support. He’ll be dripping anti-MMT poison into his ear.

Got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning and made the fatal mistake of reading some comments underneath a BBC article. Sometimes, you just have to despair as you accept the fact that a substantial proportion of our electorate, especially the 'middling class', is composed…

I keep saying neoliberal economics is broken. I keep explaining why it’s broken. But maybe people already know. They see it every day: flatlining incomes, rising inequality, failing public services, a burning planet, and hope slipping away.

The solution to America’s decline isn’t fixing DEI. It’s turning the clock back to 1980 and stopping Milton Friedman’s neoliberal coup before it captured every major institution. A thread 🧵 newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

@GoodwinMJ @bobclark56 Not saying London is great but: 1. Travelled from Bingley to London 1st class for around £200 for two. Price includes food and drink. Train was around 10 minutes late arriving 2. Went to a restaurant that was full, not obscenely proved and where service from largely immigrant…

Where did the money come from? Randall Wray: A keystroke. Ben Bernanke: We simply use the computer to mark up the size of the account. Alan Greenspan: There is nothing to prevent the federal government from creating as much money as it wants and paying it to someone.

The difference between UBI and FJG. UBI - You get the money, but the rich continue to exploit your labour for pittance. FJG - You get the money, but the rich *can not* exploit your labour for pittance. This is why you see far more about UBI than FJG.

Just had a journalist ask me to explain "Liberation Day." I told him it's about liberating Americans from some of the cash in their wallets.

Unless you drop the myth that the sovereign UK has to borrow or use taxpayers’ money to fund itself you will fail with these efforts just as you will if you strive to depend mainly on private investment. What Keynes said - the UK can afford what we need - is even truer now
