Leaning towards grand social methodologies perpetrated by David Graeber, Adam Tooze, Yanis Varoufakis, Bruno Latour etc. Appreciate the institutionalists, Austrian and Frankfurt schools et al.

L Best, @bborn.bsky.social, & M Menkhoff survey German firms and find many firms do not adjust #investment after borrowing costs decrease because they have sufficient internal funds. Also, firms' sensitivity to borrowing costs decreases with the size of the change.

#EconSky
Hand-coded perceived channels of monetary policy elicited in an open-ended question. Subsample of firms that clearly indicate which channel(s) they have in mind. Monetary policy moves aggregate investment, but the underlying drivers remain unclear. This column opens the black box with a German firm survey. A one percentage point fall in loan rates raises investment by about 7%. Yet many firms do not adjust, often because they have ample cash or are off the margin. Firms’ narratives and their responses to actual monetary policy shocks indicate that the borrowing-cost channel is first-order for policy.

China can maintain high growth and transition to consumer-led economy, premier Li says
China's Premier Li Qiang said on Wednesday he was confident the world's No.2 economy could maintain a "relatively rapid" growth rate as it transitions from a manufacturing-led model to a consumer-driven one, a shift analysts say is key to securing its future.

Treat others like they, profess they want to treat others.
It's very fun when they try to justify why they should be excluded by the treatment they profess to endorse.

ICE is now asserting it's a federal crime for bystanders to request that masked people in plain clothes show identification as they're handcuffing folks and stuffing them into unmarked vans.

Some polls putting Labour on as low as 21% and set-to drop further. David Graeber was right.
"The Labour Party under Keir Starmer will abandon its core idealism and principles and it won't even gain tactical advantage. It will be a party which gives no one a reason to vote for it, and then no one will, in fact, vote for it." . - David Graeber

An interesting extract from David Graeber's 'Hatred has become a political taboo.'

davidgraeber.org/articles/hat...
"Real love, the only kind genuinely worthy of the name, is a kind of dialectical overcoming. It only becomes possible at the point where one comes to understand the full reality of one’s beloved, which necessarily, means encountering even those qualities one finds infuriating, loathsome, or detestable. . For surely, if you know enough about anyone, you will find something in them that you hate. But it’s only when one encounters that, and decides nonetheless to love them anyway, that we can talk of love as an active, redemptive, and powerful force. And some element of hatred, however small, must always remain there for this to continue to be true. Real love can only be love if it conquerors hatred, but not by annihilating but by containing and transcending it, and not just once, but forever." . - David Graeber

The idea behind allowing arms to citizens has nothing to do with self-defense (prerogative of police) or defending the country (prerogative of the army). It's the ultimate check to the authority of the state that may become tyrannical and deny the civil rights of its citizens.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.
