Where Credit’s Due: Making Money for Ecosocial Justice is a project devised and developed by @robynollett.bsky.social and @robbhawkes.bsky.social with the support of Teesside University’s AHRC Impact Acceleration Account (IAA).

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can reimagine public credit creation and build intersectional solidarity with… The @wherecreditsdue.bsky.social Team.

“The assumption that only billionaires or suburban taxpayers can provision democracy has become so entrenched that it is easier to imagine acquiescing to authoritarianism than bypassing this veto.”

“What once appeared as the sublime discipline of “the market” has been unmasked as the unbounded whims of an increasingly fascistic group of billionaires, with Trump as their avatar.”

There are *always* alternatives.

Modern Money & the Black University Concept By Andrew J. Douglas

Any public institution can create public money Folks need to organize to provision our communities bsky.app/profile/mone...

I’ve read Marx And Graeber was personal friends with many Modern Monetary Theory folks And would definitely advocate for a little anarchistic local public money creation bsky.app/profile/mone...

Honestly, right now we need to think about both our federally created currency & how to create local public money @moneyontheleft.bsky.social really needs support on the work they’ve been doing on this We need a way to keep communities provisioned

God, I loved this episode!

This is very good.

”We live in a democracy with boundless capacity, yet it is held hostage—openly and in bad faith—by private money and the austerity habits it demands. If democracy fails, it will not be because the public’s appetite was absent, but because we accepted private money’s “no” at face value.” Fuckin’. A.

Just say no to bottlenecks.

Money on the Left speaks with Pavlina Tcherneva, Professor of Economics at Bard College and leading scholar of–-and advocate for—Modern Monetary Theory (MMT).

"[Trump's] sabotage of institutions works not only through brute force, but through the learned helplessness that neoliberal governance has drilled into liberals and even leftists for decades."

Legal and Political Foundations of Capitalism should be of interest to readers of economics, law, and public policy, as well as those in international and development studies or anyone seeking to explore progressive alternatives in this period of multiple crises. moneyontheleft.org/2025/07/01/l...

Just wanted to drop this off between being absolutely horrified by all the horrible stuff I enjoyed our exchange bsky.app/profile/mone...

"...so many continue to bow before private money’s veto even as it is unmasked as blackmail and collusion. The task is to cultivate and extend the democratic reflex wherever it appears, multiplying its legibility, and provisioning the health of our democracy..."

"This is not fiscal realism. It is self-inflicted austerity, the result of imagining sabotage itself as an inescapable condition of democratic life."

Not that anyone except one person in this thread is interested But @moneyontheleft.bsky.social has podcasts and articles on different ways to create community public money to smooth the fact Trump is imposing extreme austerity on the masses

It’s cool You’ll really enjoy the podcast @moneyontheleft.bsky.social If you don’t, I’d be absolutely surprised

Whatever But if you’re interested @moneyontheleft.bsky.social is a good podcast And many MMTers were real life friends of David

Anyway, if you’re interested in thinking through money (an abstraction) and our material world, i highly recommend the podcast Money on the Left @moneyontheleft.bsky.social

Don't be a bottleneck

"Perhaps a more helpful axis for thinking about currency is not official versus unofficial, but democratic and publicly responsible monetary practices versus rogue and publicly irresponsible ones."

"We are living through a strange reversal of the monetary story many of us have spent the last decade telling."
