Happy to share my new working paper, "Monetary Production Theory and the Threshold Structure of Financial Crises." Why do financial crises recur with such persistence across centuries and institutional environments? A thread 🧵

Hoy seremos 12 en la cancha, porque mi hermano Chucho estará presente en este estadio donde tantos goles hizo.

Christian, hermano, este seguramente sería tu último mundial. Me hubiera encantado verte hoy divirtiéndote y dándonos una alegría.

Vamos muchachos, es un gran día para hacer historia.

This isn’t home field advantage

This is being a bad host.

There’s home field advantage and then there’s Mexico’s home advantage

Publication alert! 🚨🚨🚨

How can presidents advance their policy agenda with broad-based parties?

My latest article explores one possible answer: the internal organization of governing parties.

Thomas Paine publishes an open letter in the Pennsylvania Evening Post, under the name “Republicus,” which advocates for the name “United States of America” for the new nation now emerging.

This is the first time such a term has been used.

Thomas Jefferson submits the final draft of his Declaration of Independence to Continental Congress.

[1776 Live @250YearsAgoLive]

Some notable quotes from this document:

“A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a ſuperficial appearance of being right, and raiſes at firſt a formidable outcry in defence of cuſtom.

But the tumult ſoon ſubſides. Time makes more converts than reaſon.”
________________________

“Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedneſs; the former promotes our happineſs poſitively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by reſtraining our vices.

The one encourages intercourſe, the other creates diſtinctions. The first is a patron, the last a puniſher.”
________________________

“Society in every ſtate is a bleſsing, but government even in its best ſtate is but a neceſsary evil; in its worst ſtate an intolerable one; for when we ſuffer, or are expoſed to the ſame miſeries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furniſh the means by which we ſuffer.”

Engliſh-born American writer and revolutionary Thomas Paine publiſhes a new radical pamphlet, “COMMON SENSE” which urges treaſon against the Crown.

It is a popular piece to read aloud in taverns, in boiſterous, drunken voices.

If people doing frontier science in Unis have no longer access to frontier models and those in industry do, does university research remain viable?

Yugoslavia siempre fue una potencia en futbol

[Marko Jukic @mmjukic]

Here's a mind-blowing statistic: despite making up just ~0.2% of the global population, players with ethnic heritage from the former Yugoslavia are 7.5% of players in the FIFA World Cup Round of 32 (overrepresented by 40x) and play for 9/32 or 28% of teams! -> 🇭🇷🇧🇦🇦🇹🇦🇺🇨🇭🇺🇸🇨🇦🇸🇪🇩🇪
