Is Economics Education Fit for the 21st Century? More than 15 yrs after the 2007/8 GFC, @RethinkEcon_EW - the student movement that swept the UK (and many parts of the world) calling for a drastic overhaul of the econ curriculum - reports its findings. rethinkeconomics.org/2024/05/01/is-…
Even more intense than Columbia by all accounts. This is citywide repression.

After Biden accepted the International Criminal Court's use of territorial jurisdiction in Ukraine to prosecute Putin, it would be the height of hypocrisy if Biden objected to the ICC's use of territorial jurisdiction in Palestine to prosecute Netanyahu. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
I did an interview with the largest Finnish newspaper: "Economist warns Finland of consequences of harsh budget cuts. EU countries have shackled themselves with strict fiscal rules. This will dampen investment for decarbonisation and reduce EU's relevance in geopolitical context"
Good article by @Westervangaal on the anticipated G7 commitment to phase out coal 'in the first half of the 2030s'. It's good news, especially as it represents a big step forward for Japan, but Europe needs to phase out fossil gas by 2035 too. euobserver.com/green-economy/…
Yesterday in Helsinki, I did a presentation on the outlook of major fiscal consolidations in the €zone from 2025 onwards, also discussing how monetary policy enters the picture. The video is here (I start at 13:30). Thanks to the organisers @HolappaLauri vimeo.com/event/4241244/…
A lot of what Macron is saying - supend some competition rules, much more industrial policy & nuclear, Buy European rules for defence - will be very hard to sell to many EU countries. This is a very French wishlist speech, not a "this is where the consensus might lie in Europe".
Happy the @FT published this. Been painful to watch the many 'growth miracle' stories about Greece. Greece’s economic rebound in (painful) context ft.com/content/ba7e18… via @FT
Trots op de stap die Europa zet naar een rechtvaardigere wereld, weg van uitbuiting en milieuvervuiling. Het Europees Parlement stemde zojuist voor de anti-wegkijkwet!
Echt gênant hoe Nederlandse journalisten gretig het vuile werk voor Geert Wilders doen. Incompetentie ten top!
Mass graves uncovered in Gaza show victims’ hands were tied before they were killed and buried. Among the dead are doctors, zip tied and still wearing their scrubs. Further evidence of Israeli forces extrajudicially executing Palestinian civilians. news.un.org/en/story/2024/…
“Zo zachtjes aan en bijna glijdend geleidelijk, suave en sullig wordt de denkwereld van de antidemocraat overgenomen. Zonder vraagteken of kanttekening berichtten toonaangevende media dat Geert Wilders aangifte wil doen tegen Frans Timmermans.” volkskrant.nl/ts-b448c8e0/
Together with my friends from #FiscalMatters we followed & fought for better #EU fiscal rules for over 4 years. I feel so disappointed & defeated. This is such a huge mistake.

at the spring meetings of @IMFNews & @WorldBank this week, many of the world’s policymakers were acting as if the worst debt crisis since the 1980s, by portion of world population affected, had come to an end. In reality, the crisis rolls on. economist.com/finance-and-ec…
Should Ukrain join the EU? Yes, but on the condition to redefine the EU as a political community serving the rule of law and democratic pluralism, and to break away from the religion of free trade and competition as the solution to all problems lemonde.fr/blog/piketty/2…
Other than the verbiage about "abundance of concern" and "safety" is there any serious voice at @Columbia any evidence of danger, any argument that can be offered in defense of inviting the NYPD riot team to disperse a peaceful though unauthorized encampment? Serious question.

Good article by @Westervangaal on the anticipated G7 commitment to phase out coal 'in the first half of the 2030s'. It's good news, especially as it represents a big step forward for Japan, but Europe needs to phase out fossil gas by 2035 too. euobserver.com/green-economy/…
