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...

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.

C’est avec une grande humilité, tant il est difficile, voire impossible, de rendre compte de l’importance des tableaux de recherche de Michel Aglietta, que je diffuse cette vidéo d’hommage.
Lisez relisez Michel Aglietta tellement éclairant sur les défis contemporains !

À force de penser les mutations du capitalisme, Michel Aglietta en est venu à approcher ses limites écologiques, rappelle Etienne Espagne. Son œuvre trace une voie originale entre macroéconomie et urgence climatique.

1/n Michel Aglietta passed away. He was one of the founders of the French "regulation school." As a researcher, teacher & debater, he has profoundly influenced how French economists approach capitalism, technology, financial systems and money -not just the regulationists themselves

Depuis 15 ans, Michel Aglietta a été pour moi un maître à penser, un co-auteur créatif et exigeant et un ami rieur et plein de vie. Très triste de cette disparition. Merci à Laurent Baronian pour cette récente recension de notre ouvrage paru en mars 2024 chez @editionsodilejacob.bsky.social.

Tristesse d’apprendre la disparition de Michel Aglietta. Un grand penseur, qui a souvent collaboré avec le CIRED et tant enrichi nos réflexions. Son héritage intellectuel restera vivant.

DP19987 From Climate to Nature Macro-Criticality: Exploring New Scenarios and Modeling Frameworks
While the macroeconomic and financial implications of climate change have long been debated by researchers as well as economic and financial decision-makers, the potential macro-critical impacts posed by biodiversity loss and the structural shift towards an economy that protects - rather than degrades - nature remain underexplored. In fact, recent studies struggle to explain why even major ecosystem disruptions show only minor macroeconomic and financial impacts in their models. Against this backdrop, this paper reviews existing biodiversity-economy scenarios and modeling approaches to assess their ability to capture the macro-criticality of nature-related transition impacts. We highlight two key gaps: (i) The prevailing tendency to adopt a narrow approach to nature-related impacts, predominantly focusing on the agricultural sector, fails to account for the multiple sectors that could also be affected—either directly or through value chain linkages. Moreover, this approach overlooks the broader socioeconomic transformations that may be necessary to facilitate a meaningful transition toward sustainability; and (ii) The limits of equilibrium-based models, which systematically underestimate the economic impact of nature-related impacts due to their focus on optimization under constraints, their assumptions about substitutability, and their limited representation of both the financial sector and propagations of shocks throughout value chains. We then make three contributions to start addressing these shortcomings: First, we provide a thematic summary of a broad range of nature-related transition scenarios, to support future economic assessments of nature loss or transition pathways through a more comprehensive approach. Second, we explore the potential of diverse non-equilibrium ecological macroeconomic models to reflect the interdependencies between biodiversity, economic activity, and financial stability. Rather than forcing automatic convergence towards an optimal state, these models track the dynamic evolution of simulated trajectories, thereby better capturing how nature loss can become macro-critical. Third, we apply these insights through four case studies to illustrate how nature-related impacts can propagate through production and financial networks, with potentially large positive or negative impacts at the macro level. We do so by using both: relatively simple tools (based on input-output tables) to assess short-term economic and financial exposures to specific scenarios; and two of the ecological macroeconomic models mentioned above for medium-term assessments. Our findings underscore the need to consider both a broad range of scenarios and alternative modeling approaches to identify the potential macro-criticality of nature. Doing so will be essential to begin to meaningfully integrate nature into economic and financial policymaking, and support efforts to halt and reverse biodiversity loss.
