  1. Although I wrote this recent piece on Military Keynesianism in relation to its prospects in the UK, given the German economies relatively swift pivot towards manufacturing arms (with the seeming intent of also salvaging industrial jobs), we can I think see this as a much wider phenomenon than one restricted to this isle!

  6. Oh, the tide is definitely turning; now a group of Labour MPs have written an open letter urging banks to re-badge investment in the arms industry & defence manufacturers as 'ethical investments'....

    Yup, the reorientation of the UK towards an explicit Military Keynsianism continues!

  11. If it looks like Military Keynsianism & the Govt. sounds like Military Keynsianism, then for all intents & proposes it *is* Military Keynsianism....

    Perhaps some of Keynes' ideas about effective demand, counter-cyclical stimulus and the role of public investment are re-entering the political system (as so often, disguised by national security).

  16. If you're looking for leading indicators on the possible pivot to a European Military Keynsianism, here's one bit of evidence for you:

    three key European defence stocks are rising in price rather steeply;

    presumably on investors' view that European defence procurement is going to be focussed more on regional suppliers as US security guarantees become less valuable (and approach worthlessness).

  21. If Rafeal Behr is right Labour is embarking on 'a gruelling mission of rearmament & renewed national focus on security, in a dangerous world where the US is an unreliable source of protection & its president can’t be counted as a friend' then 'national security' will become a bigger part of policy discussion.

    As I've said: if Labour also keeps with its 'growth' mantra, the only way real option is explicitly adopting a form of Military Keynsianism!

  26. So, as Keir Starmer pushes to spend 3% of GDP on defence by next decade, I think we can safely say that Military Keynsianism is the Labour Party's policy...

    How do we know? well given every policy now has to pass the test of contributing to 'growth', how else would you justify such an expansion.

    Of course, you might think I'm being optimistic expecting a consistent logic for policy, but actually in this case not such a stretch....

  31. As Starmer prepares to spend more on defence, even as austerity is expanded elsewhere in the public sector, we seem to be slowly developing a quasi-military Keynsiansim, if Rachel Reeves is going to expect the MoD to tell everyone how investment in defence is going to further growth - its not an impossible argument to make, and there are plenty of precedents (some of them perhaps unwelcome) to bolster that direction of (political) travel....

  36. @mike I'll admit I don't know as much about the specifics of the US energy mix as my own country. But I do remember #DougRushkoff saying the solar industry already employs more US workers than the coal industry. Which suggests that renewables are making more progress there than most people realize, despite decades ofmassive subsidies to the fossil fuel industries (especially when you include #MilitaryKeynsianism).
