I was a mainstream economist for many years. I understand the reaction MMT evokes in such people, as it triggered the same reaction in me. It is then a question of whether you are prepared to question things you have taken for granted, and admit to yourself they are simply wrong.

You have not heard of PIC in South Africa, over 75% of the bond market is the government managed by weird entities . Question is why is the asset "management" industry not selling bonds between corporations like SAB, Anglo, Naspers,etc
BlackRock, Blackstone, and Vanguard are asset managers extracting public money and converting it into corporate welfare. Their profits depend on critical infrastructure collapse - they are literally disaster capitalists. Despite contributing minimally to the UK economy, Keir

I am extremely disappointed with the proposed new generation capacity by the Department of Electricity. 🇿🇦No place for new coal-fired power plants, even though coal directly employs more than 100 000 people only in coal mining, excluding downstream industries. We have very good

China has told its tech giants not to issue stablecoins — and they’re right. Stablecoins are the privatisation of money, shifting trust and power from the public to the corporate sphere. Money must remain a public utility. Once it becomes a private good, we lose control,

Good Afternoon Prof @william_gumede I’ve seen this “BEE has transferred R1 Trillion to 100 ANC people” line for several months. It’s attributed to you, and I recall hearing you say, in at least one interview, it’s from a study you did a while ago. Would you please direct me
From the @FT Weekend. BEE has resulted in over R1trillion moving into the hands of less than 100 people, all politically connected in some way and invariably @MYANC

Imagine if the @SAReserveBank tread cautiously in raising borrowing costs to ensure price rises are driven by wage gains and robust domestic demand, instead of raising interest rates in response to imported cost pushed inflation, which interest costs add to. “While inflation

Fantastic piece. Just before I left Phalaborwa in 2022 (I built a magnetite plant there) , I heard of a JV for a modularised, low throughput plant doing studies on REE processing. Wonder if that's the one you reference there. As for the BIC, I think it needs people with a...
Apart from China, only other nations in the world that have the skill and capacity to refine rare earths are Japan and Australia, albeit light rare earths. SA is decades away from matching them. But what leverage, if any, exists for us in this space? https://t.co/yrla479KPc

I don't think they are excluded because call up depends on the coach. Yes, the argument could be put at SAFA's door to enforce or persuade a balance. And, this is a representation of a failed racial integration. No rainbow nation.

English politics currently has a very clear five parties with MPs and significant support. There really is no excuse for @bbclaurak to choose to interview the other four during their conferences, but ignore @ZackPolanski. #GPconf
