If the media covered climate change the way it covers Trump, and Trump the way it covers climate change, we'd have neither.

Do you think the principal role of the economics profession is to mask power dynamics? Not that many economists would realise this of course and are certainly not doing it intentionally- it’s just baked into the theory.

Hey @DrCameronMurray, WTF? You created a new speculative asset. I hope you've got a few suitcases full of these and are making a fortune. I recommended to somebody that they read it and they showed me this. #GameOfMates
Dutton on French "bollard man" being offered a permanent visa: "I support the PM's generous offer... he embodies the Anzac spirit." Dutton on the injured Pakistani security guard being offered the same: "That's obviously an issue for the PM..." Can't make this shit up 🙃
There are no "laws of economics". The economy is a social construct that we can choose to reconstruct. The current "laws of economics", left intact long enough, will slowly reduce home ownership rates until 1% of people own all of the houses. Is that what we want? #housingforall

A short primer on capital taxation, the most progressive type of taxation we have:
@RecoEco ‘Single representative agent’ is a device used to avoid discussing everything important
@RecoEco Yes — important because a failure to understand the role of power leads to misconceptions in relation to wages, employment, distributional issues and many more matters. Economic analysis can be very useful but, absent a role for power, can lead to wrong conclusions.
@RecoEco It's the critical role of *neoclassical* economics.
Elegant Black Heron.
BREAKING: Unconditional basic income doubled employment rates and helped people secure new housing in Seattle. We've seen similar results again and again in Canada. During the Ontario basic income pilot, 1/3 of those working found HIGHER paying work.
@simonecasey @RecoEco Economics undergraduates at my Uni were too scared to enrol in a 3rd yr unit, Marxian Economics, for fear it would blemish their academic transcript for economics, accounting & finance entry level job applications.
@RecoEco The irony is: Sydney Uni's degree in Political Economy where economics is studied as a social construction with a critical theory lens, had a graduate named Anthony Albanese.
@RecoEco Yes the basic assumptions they've been working on for 100yrs are wrong now. They support the status quo. So yea you're correct
@RecoEco No, but I do think they oversimplify the nature of the economy and social systems, in order to make their models and theory more compelling than they are. Basically, there's a bias towards apparent rigor and more advanced mathematical techniques, because it's more impressive.
There will always be apologists for rich, successful, and powerful people, but for even the worst offenders, this isn't a significant problem. The biggest problem is scientific and mathematical ambition, to the point of exaggeration. The issue w/ accounting is integrity.
Do you think the principal role of the economics profession is to mask power dynamics? Not that many economists would realise this of course and are certainly not doing it intentionally- it’s just baked into the theory.
@RecoEco At some point you have to ask, if they’re so smart, why aren’t *we* rich?
Damn straight
Do you think the principal role of the economics profession is to mask power dynamics? Not that many economists would realise this of course and are certainly not doing it intentionally- it’s just baked into the theory.
Almost certainly, as so few economic models consider distribution
Do you think the principal role of the economics profession is to mask power dynamics? Not that many economists would realise this of course and are certainly not doing it intentionally- it’s just baked into the theory.
@RecoEco That's why I dropped economics at Uni! What I was learning had nothing to do with how power structures are maintained and reproduced.
@RecoEco Economists mostly promote conservatism, big money, and capitalist money and power. Richard Holden very recently editorialised in AFR of the need for tax cuts
