Nice reaction to a podcast I have done on growth, degrowth and points in between with Kate Raworth and Ayeisha Thomas-Smith for NEF.

I grew up watching John Curry and Robin Cousins. I don’t really watch ice skating now. But this is utterly astounding.

Great thread by Ed Conway on how energy efficiency leads to higher demand. The ONLY way to reduce emissions is to limit them by law. Pricing, technology policy, degrowth: none are sufficient without an absolute constraint. Hence UK Climate Change Act - but on a global scale.

We need an institutional framework that reflects the complexity of the problems. twitter.com/thefabians/sta…

Is there a ‘Labour scholars’ twitter’? Would be glad to connect with others interested in Labour’s current and historical political and policy debates. This issue of BJPIR collects some useful pieces including my and Hindmoor’s article on the concept of ‘policy reasoning’.

This looks good!

Ed Conway is much the most interesting mainstream economic commentator. His book on the material economy is a brilliant exploration of the stuff - literally - of which economic activity is made. Now here he is spouting extreme sense on the Chancellor’s nonsense ‘fiscal headroom’.

I did an ODI podcast with Sara Pantuliano, Arancha González and rathin roy on what was likely to happen in the world in 2024. As you can imagine, the conversation became very gloomy very quickly. So I did my best to look on the bright side…

Powerful article by Michael Jacobs arguing for a bold renewal of the international financial order, to properly handle the new conditions of the global economy. The next #G20 could be the Bretton Woods that funds the golden age of the information revolution

Hard agree with pretty much all of this from ⁦Michael Jacobs⁩. The case for Bretton Woods scale reform of international financial institutions is increasingly unanswerable. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Completely agree with this. Great article by Michael Jacobs. If you'd like to learn more about #Keynes ' life and ideas, then have a listen to our #podcast . open.spotify.com/episode/62oO6F…

Those old enough to remember the days prior to the elections of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan in 1979-80 will understand that was the beginning of the end of a functioning global economy. Michael Jacobs clearly explains the current economic crisis:
