Striking Economist chart in the latest Tooze newsletter. Presumably NY's vertiginous rents would make NY's _real_ real wages (i.e. real wages post housing costs) look even worse by comparison. New mayor really has got a challenge on his hands

Under plausible assumptions about the responsiveness of consumption to wealth, a 2000-2001 level fall in stock market values would reduce US consumption spending by 2 to 3 percent. That's a useful benchmark. econbrowser.com/archives/202...

This is my effort to collect in one place the top 3 reasons (imho) why 'the free market' should not even be a starting point for analysis - especially normative (legal,policy) reasoning. Also includes a brief account of how the modern idea of the self coordinating market emerged in fits and starts.

UNCTAD has now joined the chorus of the WallStreet consensus
The event was moderated by UNCTAD chief Rebeca Grynspan.
UNCTAD calls for urgent breakthroughs in climate finance: tackling debt and fiscal constraints, mobilizing private investment, reforming international financial institutions, and ensuring concessional resources reach those who need them most.

Good to see my friend Alex Vitale in The Nation with some thoughts on wha may be the toughest problem for any progressive mayor.
If he becomes mayor, Zohran Mamdani will have to tackle New York City's biggest beast: the NYPD. @alexvitale.bsky.social has some suggestions for how to do just that.
Zohran Mamdani Must Confront the NYPD. Here's What He Can Do.
No single issue will be more challenging for a Mayor Mamdani than policing. But there are concrete steps he can take to reform the NYPD and curb its culture of impunity.
