A much needed group update. Due to lack of growth and capacity, it is unfotunately time for @thewceg, in its current form, to wrap up. I want to thank everyone who got involved and supported us along the way - you know who you are.

Who knows, maybe in the future we can spark this up again bigger and better. Bringing class into economics and thinking on the economy is needed now more than ever, but a break is needed with WCEG. Don't stop talking about class, we won't.

Hopefully we have got you thinking about class a bit more and given you some confidence that you know what you are talking about when it comes to the economy. As we always said, class matters and you understand the economy better than you think you do.

Without you we wouldn't have been able to turn an unorganised idea I had all those years ago into something with structure that people were connecting to.

NEW BLOG POST✍️. The closing down of the Grangemouth refinery is just another moment in the long history of managed decline. @MccailColl gives us a great rundown in this guest piece on why we can't let a just transition be an unjust one for workers.

We are having our reading group session later this evening on Dani Rodrik's piece, On Productivism, which is sure to be a great discussion. A quick question: Is productivism, "a new paradigm" as Rodrik calls, the way foward?🤔.
