My five cents in @bloomberg.com on the international euro “We’re not there yet, that’s clear, but people underestimate how quickly these things can move because they think about the pound sterling taking a century to be replaced by the dollar.”

Polanyi on how fascism rescues capitalism which is in a deadlock with democracy 'The fascist solution[...] can be described as a reform of market economy achieved at the extirpation of all democratic institutions[...] The economic system which was in peril of disruption would thus be revitalized'

I am working on a dataset on the financial regimes of the far right. I also find interesting the flipside of expansionism: the continental far-right (IT/F/GRE/DE/AUT) wants to seal domestic financial systems off from private equity and install national credit- or capital-market cycles

Very excited to have received a cover for my forthcoming book States of Innovation with @brisunipress.bsky.social!

The book explores innovation policies adopted by the Federal government & state governments in Maine, Michigan, California, and Texas in response to the 2008 Global Financial Crisis

Good points! I'm comparing different financial regimes of the far right and Meloni and Le Pen have significant regulatory initiatives (I think they try to protect domestic banks) but Trump has a deregulatory agenda in finance (weaken Dodd-Frank) which may expand asset management, private equity etc

Inga Rademacher @ingarade.bsky.social · Feb 3

Kalecki on why neo-Nazis promote laissez-faire policies "oil interests... Bank of America... are all "young" and "dynamic". They are not particularly worried about slumps because they think that they will increase their possessions at the expense of "old" capitalists"; thinking about Trump & finance

In this blogpost at @goldperc.bsky.social I discuss why Keynes believed that capital controls were essential to the economic and democratic management of Western societies

Controlling Capital - Political Economy Research Centre

Capital controls are restrictions on international capital flows which may include taxes, prohibitions, or approvals. These restrictions were used extensively in the post-war era but progressively los...

My assumption is that Labour understands that it has to offer expansive fiscal solutions to restore trust in British democracy. The problem is not expansive policy, it's that financial markets curtail Labour's policy space

Inga Rademacher @ingarade.bsky.social · Dec 21

Either financial market integration/globalisation made it impossible, or they just thought it did... But this should be explained to voters who (I think) want to understand the economy and the policy space we have in it

www.zdf.de/nachrichten/... As far as I can tell, this is the most left-wing SPD manifesto I have seen in my lifetime (progressive capital gains tax, higher tax for top incomes and the wealthy). To regain trust they should explain why they didn't pursue these policies for most of the past 30 years
