“Gas’s reputation as a reliable and affordable energy source has taken a serious hit, and plans for its speedy adoption in Asia’s developing nations have been derailed”
This + storage + electrification = possibly the biggest energy story of the decade
In case you’re wondering why Musk is pivoting to space
How did the US - possibly the world's most stubborn petrostate - finally do climate policy? And what happens next now that it's fallen apart and we're in for yet more demand destruction?

Even if not outbid, spot market prices are so much higher that it’s going to hurt. At least PK’s solar boom makes it a little more cushioned relative to Bangladesh. Poor countries reliant upon LNG imports are in a bad place.
Covid-19 vaccine nationalism redux, with real life suffering, especially when the temperatures will rise even more in the summer in the global south.
It will be the law of the jungle.
Market analysts are already predicting that rich countries will outbid poor countries for scarce oil and gas supplies. This means energy famine for the Global South.

Excited for this. Isabella’s been such a great follow, especially since 2020. Cool to witness a leading voice leaving their mark in real time.
Can't wait to read this book by Isabella Weber ! Also very keen on finding out how this differs from the Roadmap for a New Economy that Olivier De Schutter & partners have worked out (full disclosure: to which I contributed a small piece). www.neep-poverty.org/event/eradic...
Pretty interested in this.
This looks fabulous.
#BlackRot betreibt faschistische Wirtschaftspolitik.
Aus diesem Grund wird das Buch von Isabella Weber beim ÖRR auf dem Index stehen.
If you have any interest in economics this will be a must read
This is sure to be a good read!
Und auf Deutsch @suhrkamp.de!

This might be a really good one. So take notice.
Can’t wait until October! This book will be on top of my reading list. Check out Isabella Weber’s forthcoming book on anti-fascist economics 👇
Very much looking forward to reading this.
This now has to be the footing for the economic programmes of all progressive parties. Centrism and triangulation will only continue to pave the way for the far-right, as the UK Labour govt among others is so expertly showing.
Economics can either enable the slide toward fascism, or defend affordability, dignity, and democracy.
I wrote ANTI-FASCIST ECONOMICS with my baby by my side—a constant reminder that the future should be livable for all.
Out in October with Random House.
Two headlines but its same story:
-Food prices alarm sounds
-Wall St bank earnings shatter records, traders thrive on Iran war volatility

To defeat the extreme right an economics for the common people is indispensable.

Spain’s success is showing the way.
The incoming crisis of inflation cannot be fixed by hiking interest rates.
As President Gustavo Petro and I discussed today in Barcelona, it will require bold economic policy — from food price stabilization to ambitious energy investment.
Gracias, Presidente 🇨🇴

@jaredb-econ.bsky.social al documented many of Biden's successes from inside the Whitehouse he advised.
But it wasn't enough. As @isabellamweber.bsky.social suggests, we need a new inflation toolkit:
www.project-syndicate.org/magazine/inf...
"A new stabilization paradigm is urgently needed. We are living in a world of overlapping emergencies – climate change, a pandemic, mounting geopolitical tensions – and more shocks are sure to come."
New shocks, new traumas, same old playbooks, same people profiting:

Die beste Versicherung gegen weiteren Preisdruck ist Friedenspolitik. Deutschland sollte sich dem spanischen Kurs anschließen.

Es reicht nicht wenn reiche Länder sich gegen den Schock abschirmen und die Krise in ärmeren Ländern verschärfen. Deshalb braucht es multilaterale Koordination bei internationaler Preisstabilisierung. 8/
Übergewinne gilt es aus ökonomischen und Fairnessgründen einzudämmen. Eine Übergewinnsteuer muss schnell kommen. Die letzte EU-Übergewinnsteuer kam zu spät und Länder wie Deutschland verpassten die größte Welle. 7/
Aber der Preisdeckel muss mit Maßnahmen flankiert werden die sicher stellen, dass alle die auf das Auto verzichten können umsteigen, denn es gilt Energie zu sparen: deshalb kostenloser Nahverkehr und Fahrradfahrbonus für ArbeitnehmerInnen. 6/
