Very excited to publish this: an essay from @antonhowes on energy transitions of the past, with an intro by me. It gives a great insight into how economies can create energy abundance, how it changes lives and how it can be squandered nesta.org.uk/feature/what-t…


I’m over here now if anyone still wants a random mix of climate, energy and economics stuff. Will also try to post a bit more work stuff on LinkedIn… bsky.app/profile/acjsis…

A good post making a really important point: Baumol's so-called "cost disease" is not a disease at all, but the all-important mechanism by which the benefits of necessarily uneven rates of productivity growth in different sectors are spread across the whole economy.

Final plug for my new personal blog. The Baumol effect is one of the most powerful forces in the economy,raising wages for everyone. And yet it is normally described as a “cost disease”, wrongly imo. I think we should embrace the Baumol effect more acjsissons.medium.com/the-baumol-eff…

Weekend plug for my new personal piece: how one of the most powerful forces in the economy, which raises wages for everyone, got labelled as a “cost disease”. The Baumol effect: not a disease, but something we can use to make people better off acjsissons.medium.com/the-baumol-eff…


Just going to put this here once again: How to make the case for higher taxes. (This is going to keep coming up again and again, of course) acjsissons.medium.com/how-to-make-th…

Oof - general expectation in the schools sector was 4/4.5%. Absolutely no way this can be done without additional funding.
