God give me the confidence of an Argentinian (central banker) - here the bold claim that central bank independence would have saved Argentina from the Peronists and international financial subordination.

If profits shape the energy transition we need to understand the biggest profit event this century: the 2022 oil and gas price spike.

Very happy our paper is now out in Energy Research & Social Science. Thread by lead-author @gregorsemieniuk.bsky.social 👇

🚨NEW PAPER🚨
We all know the 2022 energy price shock fueled the cost of living crisis. It also caused a profit bonanza for the very rich. We show the US reaped the largest profits ($377bn) of any country. 50% went to the richest 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A🧵 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
River or sankey diagram showing the allocation of profits from global oil and gas companies to quantiles of the US wealth size distribution via financial system intermediaries, such as asset managers, and categories of ultimate beneficiaries, such as business owners, pension funds and shareholders in listed companies. The scale is hundreds of billions of US dollars, and ultimately 50.4% of profits reaching the US personal wealth distribution go to the richest 1% of households.

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday.

Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month

even the illustration - one side promises fascism, the other affordable housing and healthcare, must be the same from the radical centre!

took a deep breath before reading this 'hard left' @financialtimes.com take but at least it's more honest on why 'hard' in the US is basically middle of the road social democratic policy everywhere else (and what Biden campaigned on in 2020!)

anyone who's paid a bit of attention to local fiscal politics would have told you this: every local service is down to bare bones.

I hope @zackpolanski.bsky.social makes this key talking point for those who think Reform will restore public services or improve cost of living crisis (have seen a few) - Reform are a bunch of hapless neoliberals, Javier Millei wannabes with not much left to cut after a decade of Tory austerity

Today, 250.000 people took to the streets of Amsterdam to protest Israel's genocidal violence in Gaza and the cowardly response by the Dutch government. It followed on two earlier protests, one with 150.000 protesters, and the first one with about 100.000. By Dutch standards, these are huge numbers.

Israel is piling crime on top of crime on top of crime.

No wonder it is determined to bring down the entire edifice of international humanitarian law - it's the only hope of protecting itself from consequences.

Btw: the allegations are significantly worse than bedbugs.

There's a chapter in my forthcoming book on #WallStreetConsensus on Barbarians inside the social state, but this brilliant piece shows they're now deep inside the defense state

Remember this guy runs Apollo, who a Republican senator once described as healthcare terrorists for what they are doing to American people in their hospitals.
