Javier Milei promises that austerity will save Argentina. It’s failed three times before. “At the end of the day, Milei’s policies are unsustainable and will lead to economic collapse.” From @nakedkeynes.bsky.social: trib.al/RAEFkMd

The current crisis is a continuation of the 2018 one, and of a stagnation that started in 2011. From @prospect.org piece

My piece on the ongoing Argentinian crisis prospect.org/2025/11/24/a...

This is BS. Governance may be archaic, but it is dominated by boards of mostly corporate people, and that the reason for most DEI programs really. Neoliberal Dem types (and potty trained Republicans) dominate the university. Not that progressive really

It says something that the majority of the people making less than 50k went for Trump, given this

Brazil's Supreme Court ordered the arrest of Jair Bolsonaro, with a judge claiming the former president was intent on escaping as he was set to begin his prison sentence for leading a coup attempt. n.pr/48l5ldE

I published a chapter on the historical evolution of monetary policy in Latin America in the @elgarpublishing.bsky.social Companion edited by Francisco Rodríguez www.e-elgar.com/shop/usd/the...

In a sense, it is a pity, since it is to the credit of the Hamilton project, a very fiscally conservative group that somehow remains influential with many in the Democratic Party

My Palgrave-Macmillan lecture is available now nakedkeynesianism.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-...

I wouldn’t generalize, but Noah’s reaction is very much in line with the attitude of some economists. When reality and models collide, go with the model and discard reality

In a couple of weeks I'll give a lecture on "Decolonization of Economics and The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics." Both Esteban Pérez and Jayati Ghosh, co-editors of the Dictionary will be there for the Q&A. To register go the link cassyni.com/events/GFrm3...

Acá una charla sobre el libro "Why Latin American Nations Fail" wue editamos ya hace algunos años con Esteban Pérez, medio como crítica a Acemoglu y Robinson. Esto fue hace algunos meses nakedkeynesianism.blogspot.com/2025/07/why-...

Many of the Dems’ reactions to Cheney’s death and to Mamdami’s death election reminded me of this delightful book by Galbraith

@theguardian.com sites me on their editorial about Milei's electoral victory

Growing up in Brazil we referred to the mothers of our close friends as 'aunts'. Maybe its cultural, maybe the NYC elites are in panic

Knowing what the boss wants, and when to leave a sinking ship are certainly good qualifications

David Dinkins was a member of Democratic Socialists of America. Jeremy Peters and the @nytimes.com spreading misinformation

Así la cosa

I think they’re being explicit about a 3rd term. Last time he tried to stay on after losing the election. This would be one up. Running even though it would be unconstitutional. Will Republicans accept him as a candidate? It’s not a crazy scenario (not crazier than many other things)

I was interviewed by Brendan Cole for @newsweek.com on US/Latin American relations

According to the Fed chairman, the Director of Management and Budget is a ‘woefully ignorant ideologist’; the National Security Advisor ‘ignorant of economics’; and the Treasury Secretary ‘thoroughly confused’. He exclaimed ‘what a way to reach conclusions!’ /1

Listening to @zannymb.economist.com and guests. She did own that the tariffs had a much smaller effect than @economist.com predicted. And she is the optimist when it comes to the AI bubble. I was and remain in the reverse camp. Less worried about tariffs, much more about the bubble

The hostage release is a reminder of how bad the Dems are at politics. Not only did Biden refuse to force this deal on Netanyahu & thereby help Harris win, but most people aren’t even aware that Biden got way more Israeli hostages (over 100) released with his 2023 ceasefire than Trump did with his.

I should say that I'm looking forward to this panel on the 90 anniversary of Keynes' General Theory. Thanks to @ninaecon.bsky.social for organizing this www.aeaweb.org/conference/2...,

They did give the prize to Henry Kissinger too; so that's that

“NR’s…writer…, Freda Utley, was among the first US journalists to argue that Arab nationalism was a serious force…that Palestinians harbored deep grievances…mistreatment that began with English…colonialists and…perpetuated by the United States in its unqualified support of Israel” Sam Tanenhaus

@economist.com suggests US government has “fallen into the hands of the smallest, weakest and meanest set of men who ever presided over the policy of a great nation at the critical epoch of its affairs.” /1

I forgot to post it here. Link to my interview on Organized Money podcast on the Argentine crisis (and the US bailout) nakedkeynesianism.blogspot.com/2025/10/arge...

@adamtooze.bsky.social is correct here in being somewhat critical of monetary orthodoxy and going further (few do) and criticizing central bank independence. But what is needed here (besides lower rates) is fiscal expansion. Lower rates help there, and not investment www.ft.com/content/7615...

In 1975, the Econ Dept at Bucknell organized a conference w/some radical economists, like Jim Crotty (who had taught at Bucknell), David Gordon, & Paul Sweezy among others, & some progressive Keynesians like Charles Kindleberger. Perry Merhling discusses it in his intellectual bio of Kindleberger

The New Deal established legislation requiring corporations to disclose financial information, including earnings, in a transparent and standardized way to avoid financial malfeasance. This is another step in the unmaking of the "administrative state". Goodbye financial disclosure, hello crash!

A lot of the discussion about Charlie Kirk’s death is about either the glee of some people or the deep divisions in American society. I must say that what surprises me is how much the news coverage dominated the discourse and how much of it celebrated his life

This conference coming soon. I'll post the program when it is finalized and linked. Some talks and panels (like Darrick Hamilton's keynote speech) will be on Zoom too
