In response to my post, some people are asking for books on political economy. Here are the 10 key books for my course on political economy of development that I teach at Cambridge.

Ha-Joon Chang once told me that trying to learn about political economy and economic history in an economics department is like trying to learn about atheism in the Catholic church. He captured how I had been feeling my entire undergrad, stuck in an economics department.

Economics is not a (hard) science, it's not free of ideology, and it's not free of value judgements. Economists who claim to be doing 'objective' science are the ones you should be most sceptical of.

Sosten pääekonomisti Otto Kyyrönen on käynyt läpi Etlan tuoreessa muistiossa esitetyt lähdeviitteet, joilla perustellaan yhteisöveron alentamisen hyötyjä. Lopputulos: yksikään käytetyistä lähteistä ei perustele yhteisöveron alentamista. (1/2)

The last photo of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, detained after refusing to abandon his colleagues and patients. In just one image, we see both the power of Palestinian humanity and the moral weakness of all those complicit in genocide. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Jesus christ. I think I need to turn to alcohol or drugs or therapy or SOMETHING. I had seen the AMOC overturning warnings, but I had not seen this graph. I though somehow mostly the North Atlantic and Europe would be affected, but no, it's global boiling. en.vedur.is/media/ads_in_h…

Hyvä artikkeli (katalaaniksi) degrowth ajatuksista liittyen Katalonian tulviin. Olispa niin hienoa jos Suomessakin journalistit tekisi asiakeskeistä sisältöä kohtuutaloudesta, että avautuisi mitä se kohtuutalous käytännössä tarkottaisi. #postgrowth

Ystäväni ja erittäin skarppi Yhdysvaltojen politiikan asiantuntija Arto Sillanpää kirjoitti parhaan tähän mennessä lukemani suomen kielisen analyysin "Project 2025:stä". Mikä on project 2025 ja mihin sillä pyritään? Lue täältä: ulkopolitist.fi/2024/10/30/pro…

Evidence, if you ever needed it, of mainstream economics' breadth without depth. Colonial institutions extracted value and wealth from the Global South, forming the basis of Global North prosperity. This work depoliticises the historical process of decolonisation and distorts the contemporary relationship between developing economies and global financial institutions in perpetuating global inequality and debt. We need to roll back this assumption that economic development comes with the importation of western, capitalist institutions and engage with the core questions of political economy and history that are at the heart of economic development. #EconTwitter #NobelEconomia #NobelPrize

Congratulations to @DAcemogluMIT, @baselinescene & James Robinson on their @NobelPrize in Economic Sciences. While their work on institutions is important, it's crucial to remember that development is complex. As @yuenyuenang, @mushtaqkhan100 & Ha-Joon Chang argue, effective institutions must be context-specific, not just replicas of Western models. Truly inclusive and sustainable institutions should be embedded in local realities, learning from the full array of conditions necessary for development.

Draghin raportti vihdoin ulkona. Investointeja kasvatettava lähes 5 % EU:n BKT:stä. Pääomamarkkinaunionin viimeistely keskeistä, mutta vaatii myös yhteisvelkaa rahoitusinstrumentiksi. Ilmeisesti uusien fipo-sääntöjen ongelmallisuutta tavoitteen saavuttamiseksi ei käsitelty.
Andrei B. Sterescu 🇪🇺 andreisterescu.bsky.social@AndreiSterescu

1/9 #Draghi just presented his report on EU competitiveness. The report outlines the need for EUR 750-800 billion in additional annual investment, which is around 4.4-4.7% of EU GDP for decarbonisation, digitalisation, and defense. Quick🧵on the priorities and proposals:

@OttoMeri Lautakunnan päätöksessä silta on palautettu uudelleenvalmisteluun ja edellytetty siihen lukuisia parannuksia. Teidän kokoomuksen ja perussuomalaisten lisäksi näyttää SDP:n toinen edustajista vastustaneen tätä esitystä ja RKP:n edustaja taas tukeneen.
