This long read on the War in Ukraine is one of the best newspaper stories I have ever read. Truly a first draft of history-one that no other newspaper would have the resources to write.

RT @HannoLustig: 6/ And ECB losses do matter. Ultimately these are borne by all Eurozone taxpayers. Why is it a good idea to force these taxpayers to hold exposure to sovereign risk that they choose not to hold in their private portfolios?

RT @HannoLustig: 1/The ECB is now in the business of using its balance sheet as a warehouse for risks that private investors do not want to hold at current prices. ECB has completely crowded out private investors in some markets.

So let me get this straight.
When inflation is low: "we need to do QE exactly like everyone else without minding that we have a Union without fiscal capacity and with weak sovereigns".
When it is high " we cannot undo QE because we have a union with weak sovereigns"?
RT @klaus_adam: 3. I also hear things like we want QT because „others do it“. It seems seems to me that the problem of other central banks looks quite different than the one faced by the @ecb, as th…

After months struggling to deliver the initial 9bn-that-became-1bn, the EU is finally stepping up to the plate with significant financial assistance to Ukraine. Very happy to see this. I hope this money is delivered speedily-Ukraine needs it urgently.

Agree. This is a huge blind spot.

Great thread on income inequality US vs EU:
1. Pre-tax: US much more unequal
2. Tax: The US tax system much more progressive (!)
3. Post-tax: tax system not progressive enough to reverse huge inequality gap
Conclusion: It is about pre-distribution, not redistribution.
