⚡️ New: Nearly 7 in 10 voters think the Fed should stop raising interest rates if it puts millions of Americans out of work.

Could our approach to inflation help reduce inequality & accelerate the green energy transition?

Our new research reveals how 🧵

My report is out!! Thank you to @PositiveMoneyUS for this wonderful collaboration & everyone that has influenced my thinking on this topic. If we’re serious about inflation, we need a Green New Deal & just transition! Here are some tools for exactly that

Rebeca Grynspan, Secretary General @UNCTAD and Advisory Board member at the Global Institute for Sustainable Prosperity @GISP_Tweets, is spot on when it comes to addressing #inflation. Take a listen 👇🏾

That's it people, the #ECB .75% interest rate ⬆️ will (apparently, somehow) end the actual sources of #inflation: the Russia-Ukraine war, pandemic-induced supply chain disruptions, abusive corporate price-setting power, & austerity-induced shortage of productive capacity. #MMT

Well done @StephanieKelton! "The Deficit Myth" made it to BookAuthority's list of best Monetary Policy books of all time! https://t.co/G6oIR2T2dH

She just started Chapter 6. #SocialSecurity

IMHO especially c). For a longer discourse on these arguments read @StephanieKelton on deficit myths. I'm sure @hmtreasury has but it doesn't play to the zeitgest. The UK is not a household, it's a currency issuer. Update yer metaphors & models.

Next time someone tells you that Social Security and Medicare are "in trouble," challenge them by separating the issue as outlined here:
1. Financial ABILITY to pay benefits
2. Legal AUTHORITY to pay benefits
3. Productive CAPACITY to deliver real benefits

When they say "preserve," they mean cut. ✂️
When they say "protect," they mean cut. ✂️
When they save "save," they mean cut. ✂️

Chapter 3--by far the most important chapter in my book--tells the story of a little game I liked to play (Do You Even Know What You're Talking About?) when I worked in the US Senate. You can read it here: https://t.co/EtyY9wd7F5

I took up the question in Chapter 1 of The Deficit Myth.

It’s incredibly difficult being a climate scientist in this society, at an emotional level. We can see the future, it is terrifying, and we are being ignored

[James Özden 🔸 @JamesOzden]

Overall, we think this highlights an important way in which radical tactics can contribute to a social movement. Despite receiving high levels of negative coverage, it's likely Just Stop Oil is playing an important role in increasing support for more moderate climate groups

[Steven Donziger @SDonziger]

As we fight for a livable planet, let's end the fossil fuel industry's plan to transform courts into weapons that target the climate justice movement. We must respond with strong anti-SLAPP laws.

Here is an excellent deep dive into the corporate playbook: https://t.co/qaGVX54wxM
