RT @NeilPHauer: The war in Ukraine won't be 'ended' by giving into Russian demands, which are just as maximalist now as they were on February 24. It will only end with a decisive Russian defeat. Give Ukraine the weapons and training it needs to win this war faster. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/07/11/help-ukraine-win-war-russia-weapons-himars/
RT @BBCPolitics: Tory leadership candidate Penny Mordaunt has told LBC she “stands by” her claim in 2016 referendum that UK couldn’t block Turkey from joining the EU
That claim wasn’t true – the UK did have a veto on this – as #BBCRealityCheck pointed out at the time

Excellent @EmmanuelMacron !
RT @Birdyword: "You know what, here’s a scoop: it’s very difficult to create jobs without businesses and entrepreneurs... I’ll do everything I can to open up sectors where activity is blocked, in order to create jobs." https://www.theguardian.com/news/2022/jul/12/emmanuel-macron-proud-of-supporting-ubers-lobbying-drive-in-france
@MarkusEconomist This sounds super interesting Markus. Is there a version somewhere in English? Is it going to go over the terrain of the book?
RT @SusannaRustin: I don't think rightwingers started sex/gender culture war in UK - though they are coopting resistance to sex denial into "anti-wokism".
i think trans rights activists started it: trying to replace sex with gender id - & condemning objections as transphobic - *is* culture war
RT @SusannaRustin: There is so much projection going on. I mean come off it. You can't advocate for abolition of single-sex sports & prisons & then say "look at those nasty rightwing culture warriors".
Well you can but it's dishonest. & terrible politics.
RT @Henry_Curr: The average maturity of Italy's bonds is over 7 years. But the budgetary spillovers of QE mean half the debt would in effect roll onto new interest rates in little more than 2 years.

Fabulous! Real Brexit is like Real Socialism-- an utopia which true believe will always believe is not happening because the leaders are not trying the "real thing" , and always bound to disappoint when in contact with reality.
RT @rolandmcs: This, by @Dannythefink, very neatly summarises the problem with Brexiters and therefore the problem for every would-be Tory leader.

Tomaso @TomValletti has been a a model of independence and seriousness both from the policy side and the research side. He deserves the acknowledgement of all the econ community (including #EconTwitter ) and so does @zingales for the same reason.

La inflación de junio en el 10.2%, la más alta desde 1985.
Sumamos desequilibrios históricos.
Y en vez de reaccionar con seriedad y tratar a los españoles como adultos, el Presidente del gobierno anuncia... trenes gratis para todos.
Muy interesante este hilo sobre el boom de los paneles solares en China basado en instalaciones a novel de condado.
RT @pretentiouswhat: An interesting Chinese solar PV policy program that hasn't gotten the airtime it deserves: Whole-County Rooftop Solar 整县屋顶光伏.
I think this policy, more than anything else, has led to China's record-setting figures in 2022 for distributed solar.
What is it? Thread!🧵
Turkey's accession was the most fake argument against Europe of all the fake arguments invented by Vote Leave. That the supposed front runner for Tory leader and PM still defends it shows how much the UK is still in the thrall of poulism and alternative facts.
RT @LBC: It was 'disingenuous' of David Cameron to claim the UK could have vetoed Turkey joining the EU, believes Tory leadership contender Penny Mordaunt.

@shashj @KyleJGlen What share of total munition dumps do you reckon these account for?
RT @Undercoverhist: This paper by L. Zingales on how to prevent economists' capture (https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/files/pegroup/files/preventing_economists_capture.pdf) and his associated column on US economists' research on Uber (https://www.promarket.org/2019/10/09/uber-and-the-sherlock-holmes-principle-how-control-of-data-can-lead-to-biased-academic-research/) are balanced, solution-oriented & really worth reading
IN its quest for ESG , Sri Lanka committed economic suicide. A good cautinary tale.
RT @grantmgordon: "But the most boneheaded, bizarre mistake that the Sri Lankan government made was a disastrous plan to shift the entire country to organic agriculture [...] Production of tea — Sri Lanka’s main cash crop — fell by 18% in a year." - @Noahpinion https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/why-sri-lanka-is-having-an-economic?utm_source=substack&…
RT @HannoLustig: Uniquely French scandal. Their president successfully forced incumbents who provide lousy and overpriced service to compete with new entrants. Dark forces at play.
