این چند ماه که بعد از خوندن کتاب Bad Samaritans کمی (فقط کمی) اقتصاد سیاسی میفهمم، ناگهان خوندن چنین تحلیلی در الجزیره برام جالب میشه و معناش رو در یک زمینهٔ خیلی گستردهتر میبینم.

Paul Krugman, in "The Paranoid Style in American Economics," explores the implications of the U.S. jobs report revealing slowed employment growth, reinforcing concerns of economic challenges. He critiques Trump's dismissal of BLS data as conspiratorial, linking it to a historical trend of conservatives rejecting hard evidence. This trend suggests a troubling politicization of economic data, which may mislead some but not those informed.

Also, isn’t capitalism literally just a complicated pyramid scheme?
Like, the gd point is to “extract value” at each stage, as much as possible, for as long as other people let you get away with it.
I prefer my #MagicWandWishList and its various ideas that don’t actually require a magic wand. But anyway, what am I missing? Cuz I gotta be missing something(s), I’m sure.

Older white guy rants to me and a fem colleague about how the Ford government lets private long-term care coorprations/condo boards and landlords grift the living hell out of regular people, but prefaces his rant with, "and beleive me, I'm no socialist." I couldn't get a word in edge-wise, but I'd love to a have asked, "why not? And what do you want then?" I'm so glad that generally folks seem much more willing to use socialism and identify as a socialist (at least in the Anglo-Americas I experience) than they were even just 10 years ago, but encounters like these are bizzare. If you have a problem with private ownership of land, you really ought to have a problem with a socio-economic system that privileges just such an arrangement and trends, pretty well inevitability, towards (neo)liberalism and then the slide to fascism. Socialism (/anarchism/communism/communalism, etc.) is the alternative, friend.

Cats understand late stage capitalism better than us...
Honestly "user generated content" is kinda fabulous sometimes even if the apps are a nightmare.

(in data from #Italy )
- Market leaders likely to be politically connected, less likely to innovate.
- Political connections relate to a higher rate of survival, growth in employment and revenues, not in productivity
- Aggregate gains from political connections do not offset losses from lower reallocation and growth.

Countries in a single market willingly promote a supranational regulator that enforces free markets beyond the preferences of any individual country.

@DianeCoyle1859 Nordic politicians:
(left+green): MMT affetcs thinking. Difference between Keynesian & MMT is not clear. Kate Raworth's Doughnut economics is another idea with a clear impact.
(right) Alberto Alesina's “expansionary austerity” made a lasting impact.
