"Die Veränderung der Welt durch Internetkultur betrifft mittlerweile nicht mehr nur Einzelersonen, die einfach mal Gras anfassen sollten. Internetkultur ist keine Nische mehr, die man wahlweise ignorieren oder als obskuren Quatsch verlachen kann..."

the mid-transition concept has been living rent-free in my brain

Rüstung verdrängt Klima - nicht nur in der Debatte und beim Geld, sondern vielleicht auch bald beim Buhlen um Fachkräfte. Ich hab mir angeschaut, wo die Aufrüstung dem Klimaschutz entgegensteht, und in einigen Berufen wird es knapp. taz.de/Kampf-um-Fac...

i may or may not document the experience of going to a conference in athens and not flying for at least one way of the journey. in some way taking a plane for the way back feels even more crazy because you see the difference of the different modes of transportation even more.

Amazing how the RRF is everywhere - while we looked at the "money in“ side of NextGenerationEU in our paper, the "money out“ pops up in unexpected places. Schrödinger’s off-balance sheet fiscal agency meets whimsical tram in the baltic sea town where i spent summers as a kid…

Why do we listen to Odd Lots? “Capitalists will lie to you,but they don’t lie to themselves" Its Charismatic Megafauna in “Cambrian explosion” that blew open “neoliberal hegemony” of economic discourse over the past decade Congrats Joe & Tracy! @tracyalloway.bsky.social nytimes.com/2025/08/03/b...

EPOG over and out. A wild ride, could not have asked for better company on this journey of stress-loaded coffee breaks, jokes about everything from norwegian politics to rats, mental health walks, beach trips, and a final voyage to venice 🥹

Very happy to see that the article @moritzecon.bsky.social and I have written on Germany's "fiscal ecosystem" has just been published online and in print in Surplus Magazine www.surplusmagazin.de/staat-schatt...

theory meets practice, the library workers at the national library of france are on strike ✊

as the end approaches both of a masters degree shaped by kaleckian macroeconomics and a thesis on conflict inflation, I set aside some time to read some of the foundational texts of the field to not only get lost in the models but also remember where they came from. a random collection of thoughts:

i am reading old lunch with the ft interviews and this from mark carney in 2022 is crazy foresight, especially now that he's canadian PM

all hail the cost-shock queen

why are the treasuries and hedge funds doing interesting things exactly when i need to focus on getting my thesis in presentable shape :((

recycling memes from the SVB collapse 🥰

1/n It’s been a long week, and we're only halfway, so here is a fun story of how new classical macroeconomics came to France - not the whole story, but part of the fabric of how economic ideas do travel As any 1980s French story, it involves postmodernism, art, fashion & nudes (and macro) #econsky

the more i understand about my master thesis topic, the worse it looks for the inflation/green transformation nexus... interesting times ahead 🥲

back in the mikado models and only sometimes regretting my thesis topic choice

@jonaswaack.bsky.social hat @adamtooze.bsky.social interviewed 🥰

my friends and i have the best group chats and these aren't even all of them

What amazes me about MMTers is how they think to have solved the "fiscal constraint" problem, while completely ignoring the Global South perspective. Seems to be mainly about claiming one was right. Stating that no other views can accurately describe fiscal constraints puts the cherry on top.

tarte au citron, sonne und park pls recharge me from the 42 ECTS semester so i can write a thesis in 3 months

Just checked, it's true. Good old times at the other place. @shahinvallee.bsky.social

In eigener Sache: Hier auf Bluesky ist jemand unterwegs, dessen Handle den Eindruck vermittelt, das sei der offizielle Account des Netzwerks Plurale Ökonomik. Wir haben mit dem Profil allerdings nichts zu tun.

the EPOG master continues to enrich my life with first hand accounts of people experiencing their respective government collapsing - this week: Norway! They are so pissed that the stupid european gas prices drove up their electicity bills via EU market integration, that their coalition collapsed
