REPORTER: Powell says he won't leave even if you ask him to TRUMP: Oh, he'll leave. If I ask him to he'll be out of there ... I'm not happy with him. If I want him out, he'll be out of there real fast. Believe me. REPORTER: Are you trying to remove him? TRUMP: Yeah, next question.

Today in Financial Times, @martinsandbu.ft.com: In the fight for technological control over the economy, the EU needs a central bank digital currency (..) when Trump placed sanctions on Iran, Europe could not act (..) the €zone is dependent on US payment systems (..) The time for a digital € is now.

New article out📑 "The end of economic hegemony? Studying economic ideas in a post-neoliberal world" In the 20th century, debates on economic policy were closely tied to academic economics. From Keynesianism to neoliberalism, economic schools of thought have shaped historical epochs.

Here is what to watch out for in the 6pm exit polls: 1) does the CDU cross 30% & how large is the gap to the AfD? 2) is there a majority of seats for a CDU-SPD coalition? This is the easiest (but by no means easy) coalition to negotiate. 3) are FDP and BSW in or out? 4) how well does die Linke do?

Why does the largest trading bloc on the planet have a miniature-sized currency? With Trump, the EU will again much regret this. 🎈In a new working paper, @steffenmurau.bsky.social and I set out to theorise failure and develop a new IPE perspective that foregrounds offshore money. A thread 🧵

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
