Followed by brilliant work by @mnikiforos.bsky.social @cpierros.bsky.social & others on the incredible proliferation of the food/accommodation sector in Greece after the crisis, its contradictions & consequences that further undermine talk of “recovery” or expressed goals of the structural reforms.

Distributional and Macroeconomic Effects of Trump 2.0
The most likely outcome of the second Trump administration is a recession and an exacerbation of inequalities, and a further degradation of the living standards of working and middle-class Americans.
