Mazargalli argues that consuls were essential for understanding #earlymodern states as “as a conglomerate of conflicting personal and group interests”.
Moreover, focussing on consuls as diplomatic actors reminds us that #emdiplomacy is so much more than courtly audiences and #peace negotiations. The economic side needs much more attention, especially as contemporaries did not necessarily distinguish between economic and political #emdiplomacy. (6/6)
In their engaging discussion, Paul Krugman and Barry Ritholtz unveil insights from Ritholtz's book, "How Not to Invest." They humorously critique repeated historical mistakes investors make, driven by the "halo effect" and overconfidence in market gurus. Emphasizing humility and pragmatism, they advise focusing on minimizing errors instead of blindly following trends.

Kudos to Ritholtz for such an insightful article!
Ancient Athenians imposed a special tax on businesses in 428 BC, and wealthy investors simply stopped investing to avoid it. This is history's iron-clad lesson: tax something, you get less of it. Cut taxes, you get more. #TaxPolicy #EconomicHistory https://www.schiffsovereign.com/trends/yikes-the-one-big-beautiful-tax-bill-is-the-opposite-of-what-america-needs-152788/

📺 Porque é que as #nacionalizações foram apoiadas pela maior parte das forças políticas da época são, retrospectivamente, vistas como polarizadoras?
Ricardo Noronha foi um dos convidados do Sociedade Civil (RTP2) dedicado às nacionalizações em Portugal. Neste clip, fala sobre o seu livro "A Banca ao Serviço do Povo", publicado pela Imprensa de História Contemporânea.

The World Under Capitalism: Observations on Economics, Politics, History, and Culture
Branko Milanovic
John Wiley & Sons, 07/04/2025 - 400 páginas
"Branko Milanovic is best known as one of the world’s leading experts on global inequality. But he is also an unusually wide-ranging and penetrating commentator on subjects across economics and beyond, in politics, history, and culture. This book brings together his most searching, provocative, and entertaining articles of recent years, providing an abundance of vital insights into the evolution and dynamics of the world under capitalism.
The volume features important ideas about the struggle to achieve a more equal and prosperous world against not only the predictable forces of deregulation and distraction but new ideas about shrinking the economy to protect the environment. Further from Milanovic’s speciality, readers will find an extraordinary array of reflections on subjects including migration, globalization, the politics and economics of Russia and China, the crisis of liberal democracy, economic and literary history, and the intellectual giants of economics. The pieces are united by Milanovic’s distinctive voice – humane, wry, and realistic – and by remarkable erudition worn lightly whether the topic is the fall of Constantinople, Jane Austen, or the mores of contemporary soccer.
No one can fail to learn from the book, while the sparkling prose, unexpected observations, and sheer importance of the subjects at hand make it a compelling read from start to finish."

Ah, #Wikipedia, the place where history professors go to cry 😢 and conspiracy theorists go to edit ✏️. Dive into the thrilling world of #mercantilism, where economic policies are as outdated as your grandma's fax machine 📠. Spoiler alert: It's just countries hoarding gold like it's a Fortnite game 🪙.

@sachra_elmarid You write, “History shows that...”. You must realize that history does not speak for itself. You can understand economic history correctly if you first have a true, real, correct, valid, sound economic theory. The theory you are using is wrong. https://mises.org/library/man-economy-and-state-power-and-market #history #economichistory #science #rothbard #mespm #economics #austrianeconomics
🍀🤔 Ah yes, the Irish Famine: a delightful cocktail of laissez-faire economics and a dash of imperial neglect—because who needs food when you've got "beliefs" to keep you warm? Thank you, New Yorker, for reminding us that market forces and #apathy make for timeless tragedies. 📉🥔

En Paraños e na Lamosa (O Covelo) hai unha grande concentración de patrimonio apícola cereiro . Moi recomendable a visita ao museo sobre o oficio cereiro impulsado pola Comunidade de Montes Veciñais en Man Común de Paraños, ao impresionante lagar da cera deste lugar e ás eiras da cera que aínda se conservan #historiaeconomica #apicultura #lagardacera #beekeeping #patrimoniorural #abellas #multifuncionalidade #economichistory http://montesparanhos.com/ecoturismo-comunidad-montes-paranhos/lugar-da-cera/
