Book cover! I like the yin/yang, money/empire. Pre-order: cambridge.org/us/academic/su…

Wonderful engagement. You will not regret the time you spend watching this. Very unusual.

ineteconomics.org/perspectives/b… This is a truly superb review by my old INET colleague, @PMehrling, highlighting the fundamental flaws in Rogoff's worldview, as well as giving a textbook illustration of how real finance actually works. No economist does this better than Perry.

@pablobortz Thanks Pablo.

The latest book of Rogoff, reviewed by @PMehrling. Great review. ineteconomics.org/perspectives/b…

@BuddyWells1 The course is still running: coursera.org/learn/money-ba… All the lectures are also on my website, along with lots of newer stuff (course was filmed in fall 2012): sites.bu.edu/perry/

@PMehrling Great article. And I learned a great deal from your course on banking (can’t remember the name) that was offered free online a few years ago. Thankyou.

@Schulze_Chr I am writing a book on all these matters, update and expansion of the 2012 MOOC. Have a look at ineteconomics.org/uploads/papers…

@PMehrling An excellent article! Thank you very much. I particularly agree with your view of the $ & its network effects ("global means of payment"). However, I would be very interested to hear your perspective on its future, given its weaponisation. Can the $ be weaponised any further?👇

@michaelxpettis Thanks

Very interesting Perry Mehrling review of Ken Rogoff’s book.

Excellent introduction, but read the book as I just have. Capitalism as shape-shifting, hierarchical, global from the beginning, heterogenous at every moment and gaining robustness from that heterogeneity, and so on and so forth....Read it.

Re-reading this beauty while writing… still absolutely brilliant. "To many young economists who are unfamiliar with the history of macro, the thought of doing macro without representative agent micro foundations is almost heretical"

Thanks. The quote sounds like me, but I forget where I wrote it! How does Grok help you read my books? Genuinely curious.

In case you missed it, Japanese 30-year rates have now caught up with 30Y German rates (even if policy rates are very different, 2.25% in the Eurozone and 0.50% in Japan). Bond markets are behaving differently in 2025, from Japan to the US. The old rules no longer apply (STRATEGIC shift here too)

NEW ODD LOTS; It’s the return of @PMehrling @tracyalloway and I talked to economist and financial historian about Trump’s echoing of the 1971 Nixon Shock and why the global dollar system will NOT be derailed. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/odd…

@Brad_Setser @MESandbu Used the Sandbu piece in my final exam today.

Good piece, one that I hope (along with another interesting recent FT piece by @MESandbu) catalyzes a debate in Europe over the opportunities Trump is creating for the euro ft.com/content/5bc026…

Excellent piece on the dollar and the euro by @helene_rey This distinction is absolutely critical 1/many

"An inferior lender of last resort beats no lender of last resort" cepr.org/voxeu/columns/…

One of the greats. Theory of Capitalist Regulation (1976) was a seminal influence for me.
