@adamtooze.bsky.social is correct here in being somewhat critical of monetary orthodoxy and going further (few do) and criticizing central bank independence. But what is needed here (besides lower rates) is fiscal expansion. Lower rates help there, and not investment www.ft.com/content/7615...

Britain needs a ‘whatever it takes’ moment

The Bank of England must acknowledge the priority of reviving investment-led growth and stop quantitative tightening

For the first time, Bernie Sanders calls Israel’s war in Gaza a genocide

His move comes a day after a U.N. panel said Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. Israel rejected the findings, which echo those of a growing number of governments and rights groups.

It is unclear after all this time who exactly organized it, but Bill Cooper the radical economist responsible for the split from management, and the heterodox program at Bucknell might have been the mastermind behind it. On that conference see Mehrling's book www.cambridge.org/core/books/m...

In 1975, the Econ Dept at Bucknell organized a conference w/some radical economists, like Jim Crotty (who had taught at Bucknell), David Gordon, & Paul Sweezy among others, & some progressive Keynesians like Charles Kindleberger. Perry Merhling discusses it in his intellectual bio of Kindleberger

The New Deal established legislation requiring corporations to disclose financial information, including earnings, in a transparent and standardized way to avoid financial malfeasance. This is another step in the unmaking of the "administrative state". Goodbye financial disclosure, hello crash!

All deaths are, obviously, tragic for the people that love the deceased. Most have no public meaning. Charlie Kirk's death has a clear one. But I'm not sure it is the one most discussions have highlighted
