@mutineering.bsky.socialBBCR4's More Or Less last week featured a piece on refugees that confused the cost to the Exchequer with the cost/benefit to the economy as a whole, and also failed to consider the long run impact, as opposed to short term issues and costs.

@mojalloh.bsky.socialThe gap between rich and poor just keeps growing. We talk about it like it's some abstract policy problem. Meanwhile real people are working full-time jobs and can't afford rent. That's not an economics issue. That's a moral failure. #Inequality #Wealth #Economics

@mmt-action.bsky.socialGot an anti-MMT argument you reckon is unbeatable? Test it against the MMT bot. Nobody has beaten it yet. Think you can be first?
@mml-europe.bsky.socialThe EU's fiscal rules don't stop spending because they're economically necessary. They stop it because member states chose to accept them. That is a political fact, not a law of nature. Change the politics, and public investment can move. The constraint is political will, not euros.
@4-shadows.bsky.socialJ is for Junk #Economics. The endgame of #neoliberalism is to replace #democracy with finance oligarchy. The good news is junkies are always just one fix away from rehab or death.

@4-shadows.bsky.social"I’m not a #socialist,” Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, Senate candidate in #Michigan told TIME in May.
As we've said, these are #DSA @demsocialists.bsky.social who can't articulate basic facts about economics. But that's no different than a PhD in #economics these days. #VoteBlue @sarahkendzior.bsky.social
@mmt-action.bsky.social"The bond markets won't allow it." Not true. The Bank of England sets interest rates. Markets don't veto a currency issuer's spending. Build your counter-argument.
