Die Global Sumut Flotilla wurde vom israelischen Militär in internationalen Gewässern abgefangen. Freiwillige, die sich zum Ziel gesetzt haben Hilfsgüter nach Gaza zu bringen, wurden verhaftet. Einer von ihnen ist David Adler. Bevor er verschwand, erklärt er ihre Mission.

Mainstream economics continues to rely on Newtonian mathematics — using calculus to optimise, subject to constraints, an approach not suited to understanding macroeconomics or human behavior.

Nice shoutout to Vela Velupillai, my former professor at The New School

Eine schöne Überraschung: Die FAZ zählt mich zu den besten deutschen Denker:innen der Gegenwart.

„Dabei kann sich Isabella Weber in ihren Studien zum Zusammenwirken von Staat und Markt auf eine im wahrsten Sinne globalisierte Forschungsbiographie stützen.“

Vielen Dank!

"Die Agenda 2010 ist kein Vorbild für die heutige Wirtschaftspolitik"
Freue mich riesig über meine neue Surplus-Kolumne! 👇

Die Rufe nach »Strukturreformen« à la Agenda 2010 basieren auf Fehldiagnosen und können Wirtschaft + Demokratie schweren Schaden zufügen!

Die Agenda 2010 ist kein Vorbild für die heutige Wirtschaftspolitik

Die Rufe nach »Strukturreformen« à la Agenda 2010 werden lauter. Doch sie basieren auf Fehldiagnosen und können Wirtschaft und Demokratie schweren Schaden zufügen.

As I work toward an anti-fascist economics, my perspective has been newly sharpened. We're thrilled to welcome our baby, who is reminding us daily of the value of our collective future.

“refine pricing strategies that better align with customers' willingness to pay and value perception”

Which of course is what we found corporate executives did last time. So, managers, good news: No need to hire consultants, just read how it’s done here:

Germany inscribed austerity in its constitution. The “debt brake” is so rigid that The Economist has called it an instrument of “self harm”. Reform is overdue.

I’m honored to be appointed by the Finance Ministry to serve on the expert commission in charge of fiscal rules.

Powell on sellers' inflation: "Some companies will certainly be taking advantage of the fact that tariffs and all the discussion [...] companies will often cross the street in a group."

We have shown how this works analyzing what executives have to say about price hikes.

Abundance for the many is about making essentials affordable by all means necessary.

Great conversation about the need for a new economic policy agenda that goes beyond removing blockages and waiting for corporations to do the rest.

this morning I have been thinking about Orlando Letelier, the Chiliean economist assassinated by Pinochet's junta a month after he wrote the famous The Nation critique of the Chicago boys funding by the CIA, and Milton Friedman's overt support for their shock therapy.

Sozialstaatsabbau wird international durch die Kettensäge repräsentiert. Im deutschen Technokratensprech kommt er als „Strukturreform“ daher. Der ökonomische Schaden bleibt trotz harmloser Semantik enorm.
