Economist breaks down how the Treasury ruins the UK | Paul Collier interview

YouTube

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?

The next British government needs a radically new economic strategy which consigns Tory / New Labour neoliberalism to the trash can. It needs to mobilise Britain towards an innovative green sustainable economic pathway. #NewEconomics #GreenNewDeal

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!
#NewEconomics
The Economic theory that governs all financial matter is fundamentally flawed based on highly simplistic and plainly wrong assumptions about core human behaviour.
We need a totally new theory that prioritises sustainability, rewards those adding benefit to product and place production over stakeholders. Individuals creaming off income or asset to be actively penalised.
That is for starters. any other ideas?
