1/6 Marking my return to this network, I want to share with you some great and advanced news (relative to the other network). We have developed a research project on sustainable and green taxonomies, that has been approved by Open Society Foundation!
I'm an Argentine macroeconomist living in Argentina, and I completely sympathize...
As I have been muttering since November 2016, “Just because I study revolutions doesn’t mean I want to live through one.”
Twice this week when meeting a new person I've gotten an excited "Wow, it must be an exciting time to be a political scientist!" and both times I've answered "Not really. That's like telling someone it's an exciting to be a surgeon when there's a 63 car pileup on the highway."

Promocioné a Investigador Adjunto de CONICET. Una buena noticia. Muy agradecido y contento. No es sólo un mérito individual, sino colectivo, de todo el grupo e instituciones involucradas.

1/ Lo de ayer fue un golpazo. Una muestra de antiperonismo-antikirchnerismo, que representa al menos al 41% de la población. Pongan al que pongan, lo votan. Hay que renovar un montón de cosas, de ideas y de gente. Hace rato que quiero hacer este hilo, así que ahí va.

1/ We have some exciting news to share about our project “The Political Economy of Green Taxonomies: Implications for Development from the Global South”, with funding from @open-society.bsky.social. We had a wonderful closed session last Monday, with papers presentations.

Dear people: Keynes once said that "Montesquieu was the greatest of the French political economists". Could you give me references/articles that deal/explain Montesquieu's economic ideas/theories? Thanks.

I know Argentine economy is volatile and depressing. But, even for its standards, please take a look at what's happening with its overnight interest rate in the last 10 days. I've never seen anything like it, anywhere. Don't believe me, just look for yourself.

I've just received this piece of beauty. Amazing book. Congrats to the authors.
Acabo de recibir esta hermosura. Increíble libro. Felicitaciones a los autores.

Chartbook of the day by @adamtooze.bsky.social. Solid piece. I want to say "great", but there's nothing great about any of this. Gaza, a crime for the ages. No excuses, justo accomplices.
July 27, 2025 at 12:25 PM
Every day intolerable and unbearable news from Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon, Syria. Intolerable and unbearable. There is no bottom for how low they will sink. And they are already low beyond imagination.

I would really wish Brunnermeier and other big names in economics do another interview with Sturzenegger and ask him about the destruction he's causing on public investment, scientific research, health, transport, and many more things. The most stupid and f*cktard disciple of Dornbusch.

En la Alemania nazi, se combatió (entre muchas otras disciplinas) a la química, porque era "una disciplina judía". Los Bernhard Rust argentinos persigue a las ciencias sociales para que "no se hable de Batman o el Rey León".

"Max Weber provided the sociological support for Kant". Wonderful things you here un thesis defenses at @mde-ceed-dep.bsky.social.

Alarcón o Braida por Palacios, armar una línea de 3 en el medio, liberar a Velasco.
Ellos son mejores, pero atrás tienen agujeros. Hay que equilibrar el medio, y estamos en partido.

Acabo de leer el proyecto del gobierno para destrozar la investigación científica en Argentina, en particular rompiendo CONICET. Un gobierno anti-ciencia.
May 28, 2025 at 6:52 PM
Después te quieren medir el "anti-mileismo" en sangre. Todo lo que tocan, todo lo que hacen, es funesto. Un partido vecinal de la tercera sección de la PBA contribuyendo a la destrucción de la oposición y la consolidación del gobierno.

A talk with a former student of Althusser and Pierre Vilar, and witness to their debates. An honor meeting Rodrigo Montoya, one of the greatest anthropologists from Peru.
Ya por irme de Perú, luego de una semana de conferencia y clases. El punto altísimo: conocer a Rodrigo Montoya, uno de los (sino él) más grandes antropólogos peruanos. Estudiante (al mismo tiempo!) de Pierre Vilar y Louis Althusser, y testigo de sus debates. Un gran honor haberlo conocido.
