Why does a country with the ability to print its own money borrow their own currency? Good question. I know, let's ask someone who knows. Let's ask the chief of the Council of Economic Advisors. Surely he knows. Oh dear.

Yes, neoliberals bleed us dry, kill civilians, threaten the disabled etc. But we won't get a durable socialist government unless we understand how they subjugate us by controlling MONEY! Not easy. Start here. plutobooks.com/9780745337326/… Thomas Fazi @billmitchell Bill Mitchell #MMT

RIP THE KING
BY ANTH LLOYD

I never got to meet my Grandad. Peter Lloyd died in 1972. My Grandma, Mary, died three years later. I didn’t come along until ten years after my Grandad had died. Peter and Mary did leave behind six boys – Barry, Bruce, David, Keith, John and my Dad,…

The most personal thing I've ever written but it was a thought that forced it's way out and onto the paper. Thanks to A LOVE SUPREME for publishing my short reflections on football, family, and the passing of Charlie Hurley. RIP The King a-love-supreme.com/single-post/ri…

Hi Rachel Reeves. Just a quick note to say that there is actually a magic money tree. It's called the Consolidated Fund. We put it on steroids after WWII to grow back the economy without causing runaway inflation. You're welcome. ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/publi… Chris Williamson

No magic money tree. Really? Apart from all those times where money 'magically' appeared when it was politically convenient to do so. We call Labour the 'opposition' but when you repeat the same falsehoods about how the economy actually works, you're not opposing anything.

I’m getting fed up with answering all the “money printing = hyperinflation = currency devaluation” tropes. It’s an utterly false narrative.
Please cut out and keep these handy reminders.

New book: Luxury and Corruption: Challenging the Anti-Corruption Consensus - why does anti-corruption fail despite decades of best practices, standards, rules, compliance...? ow.ly/Hfmo50QwglB Ultra Realists when will you start standing up for yourself? Hager Ben Jaffel Sebastian Larsson Simon Winlow Media City Bergen

Makes you wonder when even the Financial Times admits that only governments and not private investors can fund a better future. $3 trillion needed for basic infrastructure renewal. Yet Labour and Tories bang on about 'fiscal responsibility' and big up the City financiers.

Labour was created to advance the interests of the working class It now ‘unashamedly’ seeks to champion the interests of its oppressors…

Little chapter in here from me too!

The quality of our public representatives is at an all time low.

Virtue has disappeared from public life.

With smirking arrogance, they tell us to accept decline and get by with less.

Come see me and Carol this Saturday if you are interested in criminology or sociology 🙂
