The German Employment Miracle
Germany experienced a 1.2% decrease in unemployment while its economy was plunging between 2007-9. That’s quite remarkable, how did they do it? Any lessons to learn?
What caused the financial crisis?
In the curious case of the US, where the truth is ever more compromised by ideology, there are different narratives. But the evidence is pretty clear-cut..
The new top dog in policy thinking
Rationally using our non-rational characteristics. His ideas are not new though (much is owed to behavioural economics and social psychology), but it’s a good read nevertheless..
If you think austerity works..
Think again. Not a surprise, this..

Yes, that Chinese stimulus didn’t work either..
It only saved the world..
