I have a new article out on wage-earner funds, a famous attempt at economic democracy in Sweden in the 70s & 80s. It explores the funds' defeat, emphasising the issue's stronger resonance with businesses compared to workers & the Social Democratic Party journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Very much looking forward to @ebharrington.bsky.social's lecture on 'Secrecy and Kleptocracy' @mpifg.bsky.social today. Along with her scholarly work, I also enjoyed her Daily Show visit—smart, engaging, and a great example of making social science accessible. www.mpifg.de/1344240/2025...

One takeaway from DE's massive budget announcements yesterday: it’s now clear that EU fiscal rules will have to be adapted to the reality of structurally higher spending needs. It's either that or we keep pulling national escape clauses until the rulebook is little more than an empty shell.

Jetzt auch als Print in der MPIfG Bibliothek, und ich muss sagen, passt gut zu meinem Obst.

The 25-year cycle where Germany is either the model nation for the West or the sick man of Europe has turned again. No more learning from the Germans, it's back to being completely and utterly hopeless.
