Vulture Capitalism w/Grace Blakeley

1 week ago | lukewsavage.com | Luke Savage |Grace Blakeley

Today’s post is the first I’ve published in podcast form here on Substack. During her recent visit to Toronto, I had a far-ranging conversation with the British economics and politics writer Grace Blakeley. Grace was in town to deliver the annual Ellen Meiksins Wood lecture, put on by the Broadbent Institute in honour of one of the 20th century’s great Marxist historians and social theorists.
Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' Is Outright Class Warfare

2 weeks ago | zeteo.com | Grace Blakeley

Donald Trump’s “big beautiful bill” – passed by House Republicans last month – has beenmarketed as a ‘tax cut for the middle class.’ In fact, it represents another round of handouts for the wealthy. As the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) has laid out in their recent analysis, this legislation is a brazen giveaway to the ultra-rich and multinational corporations, paid for by working people.

Tapt spill

USAs president Donald Trump har forsøkt å berettige handelskrigen sin ved å appellere til amerikanske arbeidere. Ikke uten grunn hevder han at globaliseringen har gjort at arbeidsplasser settes ut til andre land der arbeidskrafta er billigere. Han sier at tollsatsene vil rette opp i denne ubalansen.

“We want to make sure our city is not complicit in genocide,” says Megan, an activist from Bristol Apartheid Free Zone (BAFZ).

How to Solve a Problem Like Productivity

3 weeks ago | tribunemag.co.uk | Grace Blakeley

For more than a decade, economists have been scratching their heads over the productivity puzzle afflicting western economies. The issue has been particularly severe in the UK, where productivity stagnated for over a decade following the financial crisis. Now, we have new data showing that productivity levels have fallen to below pre-COVID levels. Productivity is the amount of output produced per hour worked.
Vojni kejnzijanizam je ćorsokak - i ekonomski i politički

Dok ruski rat protiv Ukrajine bjesni na istočnoj granici Evrope, lideri kontinenta konačno su spremni priznati da imaju moć oživjeti svoje posrnule ekonomije. Nakon decenija štednje, spremni su ponovo trošiti – ali ne da bi okončali siromaštvo, ubrzali dekarbonizaciju ili preokrenuli kolaps osnovnih javnih usluga. Umjesto toga, evropska fiskalna vatrena moć usmjerava se na tenkove, rakete i borbene avione.
Om Russische agressie te beteugelen, moet Europa niet alleen investeren in wapens, maar vooral in groene energie

3 weeks ago | groene.nl | Grace Blakeley

Terwijl de oorlog van Rusland tegen Oekraïne voortduurt aan de oostgrens van Europa, lijken de Europese leiders eindelijk bereid toe te geven dat ze wel degelijk de macht hebben om hun kwakkelende economieën nieuw leven in te blazen. Na decennia van bezuinigingen zijn ze klaar om weer geld uit te geven, maar niet om de armoede te bestrijden, de energietransitie te versnellen of de ineenstorting van essentiële publieke diensten te stoppen.
Military Keynesianism is a dead end - both economically and politically

4 weeks ago | ips-journal.eu | Grace Blakeley

As Russia’s war on Ukraine rages on Europe’s eastern frontier, the continent’s leaders are finally willing to admit they have the power to revive their ailing economies. After decades of austerity, they are ready to spend again – but not to end poverty, accelerate decarbonisation, or reverse the collapse of essential public services. Instead, Europe’s fiscal firepower is being directed toward tanks, missiles, and fighter jets.
The War Economy

The state is back, and it’s building guns. With the Trump administration railing against European ‘freeloading’ on US military spending, European politicians have announced plans to spend billions on rearmament. The US economy has taken a beating as the tech bubble has burst and Trump’s tariffs have raised the spectre of slower growth and higher […] The state is back, and it’s building guns.
