Why is Labour still using the self-defeating, discredited ‘maxed out credit card’ analogy? | Yanis Varoufakis
theguardian.com
It is one thing to U-turn on a modest green transition programme. It is another to do so using mendacious Tory economic paradigms, says the economist Yanis Varoufakis

Here’s a quick roundup of highlights from research we published in 2023, on climate change, capitalism, colonialism, degrowth and post-capitalist futures. As always, free PDFs are available via the link at the end of the thread. 🧵

#PlantAtlas2020 is coming to @ScotParl tomorrow! @markruskell has invited #BSBI to the Scottish Parliament to share the findings of #PlantAtlas2020 with MSPs - looking forward to discussing Scotland's threatened flora & how Plant Atlas 2020 can support @scotgov's nature targets!

1. I’m very grateful for the response to my appearance on Question Time, but also puzzled. I felt that in all cases I was simply stating the bleeding obvious. Is this now so rare in public life that it becomes an event when someone does it? The grim truth seems to be: yes. 🧵

On Monday, we [the MSEE cohort at @TheSmithSchool, @UniofOxford] met visionary systems thinker @KateRaworth and spoke with her about reimagining what and who the economy is for. Yet you won't hear her thesis in a mainstream economics lecture. 🧵 1/16

Think of all the real emergencies we face: climate, ecosystems, food systems, the NHS, housing, school buildings, social care, child poverty .... None of them is being addressed by this government. Yet it's proposing emergency legislation to permit a cruel and pointless policy.

"The economy is too important to be left to the economists". So says @yanisvaroufakis in his highly accessible critique of market-driven society. I highly recommended this book to all environmentalists:

We are pleased that iRecord is now back online following our server move. However, there are still a lot of updates in progress, so it will be a few days before all existing records are visible again. New records can be added. See message here: https://t.co/Qh4lvVMKqD
