One tip for #econtwitter moving to mastodon. There's no keyword search so it can feel overwhelming, but you can follow "groups", aka automated curated lists of tweets mentioning the group name. There's one for each econ topic, also helps find contributors
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
there are also associated hashtags which, unlike mere keyword, you can enter in the mastodon searcher to retrieve tweets/toots on the topic you're interested in

Thanks to
@IgorLetina
for setting up the list!

Who said when?

"an economist writing about justice and equality is a little like a mathematician writing about music and harmony"
(and also, do you agree with this statement?)
Rawls, this communist

(the other end of the spectrum is Calvin, embodied in economics by John Bates Clark, if you wondered)

1/ This fascinating thread encapsulates 2 key feature of the mainstream (Krugman) vs heterodox (Kindleberger) faultline

-they have different epistemologies (aka idea of what’s a good contribution to econ)

-epistemological preferences are often disguised as positive statements
2/ For Tooze reflecting on @PMehrling ’s new bio of Kindleberger (and for K himself, as showed in his criticisms of Bernanke’s work on Great Depression ineteconomics.org/perspectives/b…), a good contribution to the theory of banking, money and financial crisis is institutionally exhaustive Image
3/ that is, it provides new insights into how international credit markets operate, into the complex & multi-faceted dynamics of bank failures & booms/busts, or what various types of econ agents think money is, their degree of rationality, their strategies.

For Krugman, it's ≠

1/ I only marginally work on these histories, but I’m teaching them & being asked often about, so

Here’s long thread on some controversies over how economists modeled nature after World War II & contexts

(exhaustive history of environmental econ thread is beyond my ability) Image
2/ Caveats: it’s a lot on valuing nature (rather than commodification and marketization), centered on economists’ tools & concepts rather than environmental policies per se, US/western male centric

I much welcome reading suggestions to correct these biases in my lectures!
3/ The long prehistory of this thread is twofold: Margaret Schabas documents a long process of “denaturalization” of economics (aka its conceptual divorce from natural processes) since the 18th century w/ Hume,/Smith/Mathus/Ricardo/Mill

1/ Considering the city as an object of analysis for economists is fairly recent: a thread on the history of US-born urban economics

Based on a paper w/ @rebours_anthony , but my rendition, omissions & exaggerations, with epistemological hand-wringing at the end Image
2/urban econ’s claimed prehistory is well known: Von Thünen on ag land, Weber on industry location, Lösch/Christaller on central places. Germany produced location theory stars. Yet yheories were brought to US by geographers like Ullman rather than econs & city was not core object ImageImageImage
3/ A few interwar US scholars got interested in urban land (Burgess, Hurd or Haid, director of NY 1st urban plan), but Great Depression then war soon shifted attention to unemployment, planning, war inflation, etc.

Rekinkled interest in urban issues was due to multiple forces: ImageImageImage
