Economics Teacher

Love this ❤️

That's a 30 point deduction on its own merits

Superb book

Up next, @sarahoconnorft.ft.com We are not Machines. Essential reading, and I like the split into 3 section, Mind, Body & Soul. I really hope the follow up is on the environment, Earth, Wind & Fire.

Such a great book, and I used to like teaching behavioural economics!

I take the GfK series very seriously. And this is pretty grim. www.ft.com/content/74bb... ‘Relentless’ cost of living pressures behind collapse in UK consumer confidence

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

The wait is over… Anti-Fascist Economics is out now! 🌹🌾 Writing a book is a very lonely journey, and yet no one can do it alone. I’m so, so grateful to my family and friends who have had my back throughout this process and for all the guidance from my editors across three countries and my agency.

On the list

Absolutely superb article. Really need to fight against AI in the creative industries

Inflation doesn't work the way we are told it does. It is not simply the result of supply and demand. It's a crisis of corporate power. It's a crisis of livelihoods. If democratic governments continue to ignore this reality, fascism will continue to rise. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj_G...

Don’t think there has been a day since it come out that I haven’t listened to a least a track or the whole thing. #Rosalia #Lux One of the greatest records ever made

Hope the book lives up to the title

Interesting video from @isabellamweber.bsky.social - well worth a watch. Looking forward to the book. #EconSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj_G...

Interesting evening @bookmarksbookshop.bsky.social listening to @sarahoconnorft.ft.com talk about her new book 'We Are Not Machines'. Some good questions also that introduced some fascinating case studies. Nice to catch up with @busecon.bsky.social. Looking forward to reading it now. #EconSky

Hard to devise a better metaphor for the past decade and a half of Premier League football than Man City winning while playing with an extra man.

It's watching like Top Gear do a review of Pablo Escobar's lovely fleet of cars.

As disappointed as I am, this is probably the perfect result to sum up the sorry state of the Premier League as it stands. We’re watching a sham. The cheats still prosper.

All won without cheating

Another great thread by @doctorow.pluralistic.net. Ford is fascinating. You can see why Chaplin lampooned him in 'Modern Times'. We show a video in class of workers being sacked at the old Ford Factory for smiling ☺ & when they went to the loo, the contents of the toilet would be checked! 💩 #EconSky

There’s a lot of grumbling in London about new flats being sold to Chinese investors. But you never hear from the Chinese buyers. I asked Helen Gao to travel around Beijing property fairs and learn how you sell life in Woolwich to the Chinese elites. www.londoncentric.media/p/london-pro...

Joan Robinson knew that economics isn't a neutral science—it’s all about power. We don't need more unthinking economists parroting econ class teachings. We need rethinkers ready to push for an economy that serves people and planet. If you agree, join the movement. ✊

Superb, and the Cautionary Tales Podcast by @timharford.ft.com on the Keith Jarrett concert is equally brilliant

Microsoft cut its tax bill by roughly 82%, from $14.1B to $2.5B, even as its income soared. Across the corporate sector, tax payments are down 25% ($96B).

Such a great point, Ebacc was a terrible idea, and So damaging to young people

This is a very disappointing response that does little to help the millions of students already struggling with student loans! My view on the govt's reponse today to the Treasury Committee student loan report...

Whilst maintaining the triple Lock is an absolute scandal for young people in this country
