Firming Up Hierarchy — Blair Fix

Using Song’s data, here’s the idea that I’m going to test. I think that the recent rise in US income inequality is being driven by a redistribution of income within firms.

To test this idea, we’ll take a meandering route. First, I’ll tell you about my model of corporate hierarchy and how it explains income as...

The G20 is dead. Long live the G20 — M. K. Bhadrakumar

The US is standing in the way of the progress of the world economy. The ROW is becoming impatient with the the US and vassals creating obstacles. But even the vassals are under pressure resulting from US hubris and its consequences for the world system. Now the US is running into opposition, some vocal—President Xi in particular. Nothing mentioned of BRICS and its expansion though. It was apparently the elephant in the room at the Bali meeting, everyone being well aware of it, not to mention...

Bill Mitchell — Why listen to so-called ‘experts’ that were so wrong about Brexit?

There is a short memory in the public discussion about economics. If there wasn’t many players that get the wide platforms to express their views, opinions, forecasts, etc would burnout very quickly given how appalling their track records are. I was thinking about that while looking at the most recent Foreign Direct Investment data and reading UK Guardian articles about the demise of the most recent British Prime Minister. While it is very hard at present to trace the economic events in...

Interest on Reserves: History and Rationale, Complications and Risks
