📚 Today I learned...

About the "Paradox of Thrift" — economist John Maynard Keynes observed that individual rational behaviour can be collectively irrational.
If everyone cuts spending during a recession simultaneously, total demand collapses, businesses fail and unemployment rises — even though each individual was just being sensible.
Sometimes the logical thing for one person is catastrophic when everyone does it at once.
Makes you wonder where else that principle applies 🤔

“Si Keynes viera esto, se vuelve a morir”: Kicillof presentó “De Smith a Keynes” y convirtió la Feria del Libro en una crítica feroz al modelo de Milei

En una Feria del Libro atravesada por debates políticos, económicos y culturales, Axel Kicillof presentó su nuevo libro De Smith a Keynes y aprovechó el escenario para lanzar una durísima crítica contra el programa económico de Milei. El gobernador bonaerense reivindicó el pensamiento keynesiano, defendió el rol del Estado y cuestionó el ajuste libertario ante una sala colmada de militantes, economistas, estudiantes y lectores.

@Ludwitch --

Yes, and the expansion (and new expansion on pre-order).

I specialize in trading and negotiation games of all types, in my collection.

See profile for links to my BGG collection.

I've played enough Sidereal Confluence to be convinced it is an economic example of classical vs. Keynesian economics theories being pitted against one another.

It is the only asymmetrical trading game I have. If you can suggest others...

Allein schon sie Selbstverständlichkeit, den Überfall von #Trump und #Netanjahu auf den #Iran als völkerrechtswidrigen #Angriffskrieg zu benennen, verleiht ihm bei in meiner Wahrnehmung Glaubwürdigkeit und Integrität.

Der Finanzminister über John Maynard Keynes

Robert #Skidelsky, the influential biographer of economist John Maynard #Keynes, passed away last week. https://giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/actions/redeem/0e7b1958-5ba2-4a6c-b17d-00933b0eb06a
Robert Skidelsky, economic historian, 1939-2026

The biographer of Keynes straddled disciplines and political parties in a lengthy and often controversial career

Financial Times

John Maynard #Keynes Satz “In the long run we are all dead” findet auch seine Anwendung bei der Frage, ob man mit 63 Jahren mit Abschlägen in #Rente63 gehen sollte ("„Altersrente für langjährig Versicherte“).
Auf Youtube zeigt Thorsten Illig-Martin in einer Break-even-Betrachtung, dass die frühe Rente ökonomisch sinnvoller ist.
Man muss älter als die statistische Lebenserwartung werden, um von der #Rente67 zu profitieren, da die Lebenserwartung den Abschlag bestimmt.

Michał Kalecki et la politique du plein-emploi - Contretemps

L’économiste polonais Michał Kalecki est souvent rattaché à la « révolution keynésienne ». Pourtant, la conception du capitalisme promue par Kalecki était bien plus radicale que ne le fut celle de Keynes. Ses idées constituent autant d’outils cruciaux pour la compréhension du fonctionnement de ce système économique, ainsi que des modalités de son dépassement.

“This, then, is how we can sum up the spirit of the theory of #effectivedemand: that it assumes #classstruggle and sets out to resolve it, on a day-to- day basis, in ways that are favourable to #capitalist development.” #Keynes open.substack.com/pub/adamtooz...
