Who knows, maybe in the future we can spark this up again bigger and better. Bringing class into economics and thinking on the economy is needed now more than ever, but a break is needed with WCEG. Don't stop talking about class, we won't.

Hopefully we have got you thinking about class a bit more and given you some confidence that you know what you are talking about when it comes to the economy. As we always said, class matters and you understand the economy better than you think you do.

Our economy should be judged not on GDP or productivity, as economists, policywonks and politicians would like, but how many people are starving or homeless.

"We know all too well that a transition entrusted to the free market will leave power and profit centralised in the hands of the ruling class."
The Working Class Economists Group@TheWCEG

NEW BLOG POST✍️ The closing down of the Grangemouth refinery is just another moment in the long history of managed decline. @MccailColl gives us a great rundown in this guest piece on why we can't let a just transition be an unjust one for workers. thewceg.org/resource/the-u…

💭We need to talk about 'fiscal headroom'. With the Budget fast approaching, this week we unpack the idea of fiscal headroom, and explain how the narrative that the economy has ‘turned the corner’ is built on plans for huge public sector spending cuts: neweconomybrief.net/the-digest/the…

"Across so many indicators, our economy is proving unable to meet the needs of a growing proportion of the population" I've written for @TheWCEG on how the "technical" recession is a continuation of economic failures and why we need to re-think how and for who our economy works
The Working Class Economists Group@TheWCEG

NEW BLOG POST✍️ With the news of a technical recession in the UK, @Dhochlaf breaks down the reality of it all. Despite what economists and media pundits may tell you, things were already pretty terrible. thewceg.org/resource/terri…
