Die AfD arbeitet daran, die liberale Demokratie zu begraben, sie verfolgt ein völkisch-autoritäres Projekt. Auf jede politische Frage ist ihre Antwort: Ausländer raus. 4/9

Für Marx ist Bonaparte ein "Unfall", der durch die Uneinigkeit der herrschenden Klasse an die Macht kommt. Das passt auch heute. Er schreibt aber auch über das zu Grunde liegende Kräftegleichgewicht der Klassen. Das eher nicht.

Distributional and Macroeconomic Effects of Trump 2.0
The most likely outcome of the second Trump administration is a recession and an exacerbation of inequalities, and a further degradation of the living standards of working and middle-class Americans.

while every economic recovery has become more profitable. That is the REAL problem of the U.S. economy but Trump’s agenda will increase these trends rather than curing them. 20/20

This was driven by a dual goal: to access cheaper labor abroad and to discipline labor at home. The surge in inequality has diminshed aggregate demand, investment and productivity in the U.S. over the past four decades 19/20

One last note: This should of course not glorify the Biden years! The socio-economic misery of manufactring workers is REAL but is mainly due to a deliberate strategy by U.S. capital to outsource production. 18/20

Therefore, when trying to pass-through the tariff costs, firms are competing for a shrinking pie of aggregate profits which further discourages investment. This was quite the reverse during the Biden administration where investment and government deficit increased. 17/20

And secondly, not only aggregate demand but also aggregate profits are likely to diminish. Aggregate gross profits are - by identity - given by the sum of the government deficit, investment, net exports and spending out of profits minus saving out of wages. 16/20

With such drags on aggregate demand, it is very unlikely that unemployment will reduce to a point were workers bargaining power increases to achieve higher real wages and hence offset the negative macro effect of the tariff shock. 15/20

Looking forward, the response of investment to the tariffs and tax cuts during the first Trump administration was very low. Since they are again not accompanied by targeted fiscal measures, an investment boom is again unlikely. 13/20

But this is fundamentally different under Trump. Instead of expansionary fiscal policy, the Budget resolution from February 25th mandates drastic cuts to fiscal spending to lower income households who have a low propensity to spend… 10/20
