@JeffDenning I heard that's how maths worked before Bertrand Russell!

@jasndoc @ash_craig I heard Ash knows the true social welfare function, so his complaint must be important!

@besttrousers @tonyannett @zachdcarter Can it be a musical?

@ProfPaulPoast I only have a basic knowledge of IR but is his idea of legitimacy in any way constructivist?

[Adam Hunt @huntyboy]

@D_Kuehn I've thought about this a little, and best I could come up with would to be to compare how productive someone married to someone in same field to someone who isn't. Probably not perfect!

@ash_craig I've still not read the book that made Keynes famous: the economic consequences of the peace

[Adam Hunt @huntyboy]

@ash_craig How to pay for the war by Keynes of course!

@birchlse @ash_craig seems to be making great strides in inventing high philosophy. You should really quiz him :)

[Adam Hunt @huntyboy]

@tonyannett I think economists struggle to engage with the points you make (which is not on you!)

[Adam Hunt @huntyboy]

@ShengwuLi In economics, isn't accepting methodological pluralism an answer to this?

[Adam Hunt @huntyboy]

@ash_craig Deeply offensive haha

[Deirdre Nansen McCloskey @DeirdreMcClosk]

"Economics should be a worldly philosophy, looking on the economy from a height—with among other telescopes those supply and demand curves."

@ash_craig How many Michelin starred restaurants would you have to skip?

@tonyannett I hope to one day get a chance to read more about labourisms connection to Methodism (so more of the British story than with social democracy). Can you think of any good readings?

[Steven Swinford @Steven_Swinford]

Pretty extraordinary intervention by David Cameron on the day of Rishi Sunak's speech:

* Says that scrapping the northern leg of HS2 is a mistake that 'throws away years of political consensus'

* Accuses Sunak of acting against Britain's long-term national interests

* Says a 'once in a generation opportunity' has been lost

@ShengwuLi @ash_craig I think @ash_craig was the first to define it!

@csingletonecon @sjbEconobot The macroeconomic function of market makers is ignored an unbelievable amount. (He also provides a nice critique of supply and demand when introducing market makers!)

[Adam Hunt @huntyboy]

@csingletonecon @sjbEconobot His nobel prize speech is wonderful (and gives a lot of credit to the Cambridge Keynesians!). His book A Market Theory of Money is some of the deepest economic thinking i've ever read.

[Adam Hunt @huntyboy]

@csingletonecon @sjbEconobot Although I do think move on is a strong statement. Technically maybe, but conceptually, probably moved backwards! I read what Keynes was writing at my age over 100 years ago, I am not even 1% of the way there!

[Adam Hunt @huntyboy]

@csingletonecon @sjbEconobot I didn't interpret it as flippant! More interested in why they didn't peak your interest. People are still working away in their style btw! (not me, i'm in the process of becoming addicted to Hicks's monetary theory)
