"The end of economic hegemony? Studying economic ideas in a post-neoliberal world"

In the 20th century, debates on economic policy were closely tied to academic economics. From Keynesianism to neoliberalism, economic schools of thought have shaped historical epochs.
The end of economics hegemony? studying economic ideas in a post-neoliberal world
Since the 1990s, a particular approach to analysing the political influence of economic ideas has emerged in International Political Economy (IPE)—often labelled ‘the ideational turn’. This approac...

Det kunne man sagtens gøre. Man kunne også gøre noget ved de grundlæggende årsager i mindreregulering af overførsler. Men det ændrer ikke på at det her sænker uligheden og gavner forholdsmæssigt mest i bunden.

forholdsmæssigt har den her check markant større effekt i bunden

Den her ordning favoriserer i meget høj grad de fattigste, og har en ret betragtelig effekt på ulighed (-.18 på gini). Hvis man synes at millionærer har for meget, så lad os skrue på skatten, ikke indføre åndsvagt bureaukrati og besvær for borgerne gennem streng visitation.

Man kan altid diskutere den konkrete regel. Men hvis man først går ned af vejen med at absolut ingen 'ufortjent' må få en ydelse, så gør man en universel velfærdsstat umulig

Millionærer får folkepension, millionærer kører gratis på vejene. Hvis man skal designe en ordning, hvor man er 💯 sikker på at intet rammer forkert, så må man enten acceptere at nogle trængende ikke får, eller skabe et stort, dyrt bureaukrati. Oftest er simpel regel bedst

His current obsequiousness, his hardcore austerity stance during the Euro crisis and general awfulness in Dutch politics. Mark Rutte is low-key contender for worst European politician of this century

Europe can’t defend itself without the US, NATO’s Rutte warns
The EU should stop dreaming of creating a European pillar for NATO and continue to build ties with the U.S. despite Trump, the alliance secretary-general said.

The murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good send a terrifying signal to protesters: if you are against us, we can kill you with impunity. This is a classical authoritarian strategy. Increase the costs of opposing the regime to stop people from protesting.

De har haft 10 år. De har ikke gjort deres arbejde. De sidste år har de aktivt gjort os mere afhængige. Våben indkøb ala F35, storindkøb af amerikansk LNG gas

Denmark and large parts of Europe have been actively making us more dependent on US in recent years - buying american weapons system, ramping up import on LNG gas from the US.

We all know the playbook by now. The immediate crisis is over, and European leaders will slip back into their subservient posture—hoping this will all blow over so we can return to the ’90s. Here’s Denmark’s (!) foreign minister last night, still calling the US our “closest and most important ally”

Once again it shows that, whereever it's possible, one of the most effective form of activism is getting involved in how your pension funds are invested
We ran a progressive slate for the Akademikerpension board elections 10 years ago (and won), because we wanted fossil fuel divestment. I don’t think we ever imagined we might one day help trigger a margin call on U.S. Treasuries.
Well well well. The Danes are weaponising firesales.

@oxfam.se: Sveriges 46 rikaste personer äger mer i förmögenhet än nästan 80% av befolkningen – 8 miljoner människor.

Samtidigt lever 700 000 svenskar i fattigdom enligt SCB och den siffran har ökat med 120 000 på ett år

It’s crucial that we don’t just manage the political chaos and democratic crises we’re seeing. We need to tackle the root causes, not only the symptoms.

Billionaires don’t just influence politics from the shadows anymore - increasingly, they hold power directly.

New research shows 11% of the world’s billionaires have held political office. That means billionaires are thousands of times more likely to enter political office than ordinary people.

From India and Russia to Latin America and the Middle East, we’re seeing the same trend:
wealth concentration → political capture → democratic backsliding.

The clearest example right now is the US: a billionaire-friendly government, and powerful tech oligarchs shaping politics and public life. But this fusion of money and power is global.

his year’s focus: the link between inequality and democracy.Because inequality isn’t just a social policy issue. Extreme inequality can undermine democracy and the rule of law.

I'm really proud to have been one of the lead authors of Oxfam’s global inequality report this year.

And honestly a bit overwhelmed by the impact it’s having this morning. When you’re used to your writing being read by a couple hundred fellow nerds, this is something else.
