Steve Randy Waldman<p>“We're handing so much money over to owners of prime residential or commercial land, to owners of oil and gas fields, intellectual property and infrastructure that there isn't enough left to create enough demand for dynamic sectors of the economy.” <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/ChrisDillow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChrisDillow</span></a> <a href="https://stumblingandmumbling.typepad.com/stumbling_and_mumbling/2024/10/against-scooby-doo-ideology.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">stumblingandmumbling.typepad.c</span><span class="invisible">om/stumbling_and_mumbling/2024/10/against-scooby-doo-ideology.html</span></a></p><p>cc <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://ingenthron.social/@louis" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>louis</span></a></span> // a good rentier capitalism piece!</p>
Steve Randy Waldman<p>“In this context, Keynes is now irrelevant. ‘It is in determining the volume, not the direction, of actual employment that the existing system has broken down’ he wrote. That might have been true in the 1930s but it is not now. Redirecting labour requires not macroeconomic policy but specific measures targetting these egregious jobs.” <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/ChrisDillow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChrisDillow</span></a> <a href="https://stumblingandmumbling.typepad.com/stumbling_and_mumbling/2024/09/beyond-tax-rises.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">stumblingandmumbling.typepad.c</span><span class="invisible">om/stumbling_and_mumbling/2024/09/beyond-tax-rises.html</span></a></p>

Steve Randy Waldman<p>“A big reason why the right talks so much about immigration is that to talk about anything else - climate change, the cost of living, failing public services, unaffordable housing, flatlining real wages and so on - would be to bring capitalism into question. And that it must not do.” <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/ChrisDillow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChrisDillow</span></a> <a href="https://stumblingandmumbling.typepad.com/stumbling_and_mumbling/2024/08/the-end-of-modernity.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">stumblingandmumbling.typepad.c</span><span class="invisible">om/stumbling_and_mumbling/2024/08/the-end-of-modernity.html</span></a></p><p>// see also his explanation why the British center-left no longer talks about “modernisation”. they loved to in the 80s and 90s, when “it meant attacking unions and the poor”.</p>
Steve Randy Waldman<p>"A self-taught miner 70 years ago knew that balance sheets have two sides, whereas an Oxford-educated former Bank of England economist today pretends not to know it.

Steve Randy Waldman<p>&quot;The word &#39;neoliberalism&#39; is much misused. We might, however, attach that label to the valorization of the goods of effectiveness over those of excellence - of winning at all costs over performing well.&quot; <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ChrisDillow" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ChrisDillow</span></a> <a href="https://stumblingandmumbling.typepad.com/stumbling_and_mumbling/2023/04/devaluing-excellence.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">stumblingandmumbling.typepad.c</span><span class="invisible">om/stumbling_and_mumbling/2023/04/devaluing-excellence.html</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ViaRSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ViaRSS</span></a></p>
Steve Randy Waldman<p>“We must avoid the schoolteacher attitude to politics and business, marking the work of politicians and businessmen as if it were a test of intellectual ability and singling out the best and worst students. Instead, we must consider institutions. Do we have those institutions which help filter out incompetence and bias, or which are resilient to error? The answer, for now, is: no.” <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ChrisDillow" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ChrisDillow</span></a> <a href="https://stumblingandmumbling.typepad.com/stumbling_and_mumbling/2023/04/when-clever-people-do-stupid-things.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">stumblingandmumbling.typepad.c</span><span class="invisible">om/stumbling_and_mumbling/2023/04/when-clever-people-do-stupid-things.html</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ViaRSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ViaRSS</span></a></p>
Steve Randy Waldman<p>&quot;Achieving pro-growth policies is a matter of power, not brains... Bad policy is not mere intellectual error. It is the product of capitalism — of economic stagnation and of how capital exercises power over the state.&quot; <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ChrisDillow" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ChrisDillow</span></a> <a href="https://stumblingandmumbling.typepad.com/stumbling_and_mumbling/2023/03/against-schoolteacher-politics.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">stumblingandmumbling.typepad.c</span><span class="invisible">om/stumbling_and_mumbling/2023/03/against-schoolteacher-politics.html</span></a></p>
