Thomas Watson, English Puritan, writes on the use of money. It can replace support of wage earner, support vocation of defending the oppressed and easing pain. One may lift one up and away from the gates of death.

I seriously heard a pastor say that a Christian should not say the word “oppressed.” But even the pet causes of the Right have a grain of truth of oppression in them.

How can you make appropriate use of money?

Hello fellow menschen in #economics Mastodon! I would like to invest in attending a conference on what goes under the vague label of "new economic thinking" (post-growth, wellbeing economy, mission economy, doughnut. MMT etc etc.). Ideally:

* Taking place from September 2024 to June 2025.
* Not necessarily academic, a strong policy angle would be even better.
* Global South orientation a plus.

Any recommendation? Where are YOU going?

Why UK inflation is so high compared to EU and US and what to do about it

UK inflation has been stubbornly high and interest rate hikes have not yet brought it in line with other advanced economies.

Economic activity is clearly building then furnishing ever more house to sell to renter speculators.
Manufacturing resurgence definite NoNo. Who would chose a small off-shore island with trade barriers rather than the mainland EU
So simple but seems many just dont get it!
