Un honor participar de nuevo en @laSextaTV @DebatAlRojoVivo para analizar las medidas de vivienda anunciadas por @sanchezcastejon e @isabelrguez que asientan las bases de la vivienda como 5° Pilar del Estado del Bienestar y concibe la vivienda para vivir y no para especular.
The cost of housing has gone up by 174% since 1990. Childcare costs are up 120%. Healthcare costs are up a whopping 270%. It doesn't have to be this way. Our government can put American families first, create good jobs, and build an economy that people can afford.
According to a comprehensive report by Rethinking Economics, the economics discipline is in a dismal state. The report reviews economics programmes at 16 top UK universities and finds the following: Economics is, for the most part, taught in isolation from other social…

As #HLPF wraps, one message is clear: without local action and adequate housing, the 2030 Agenda remains out of reach. 🏘️ Leaders called for housing as “peace infrastructure” & stronger multilevel governance to localize the #SDGs.
Housing is a right, not a privilege. The EU is acting with its Affordable Housing Plan: tackling structural barriers, boosting supply, and unlocking investment. 🏠 A public consultation is open until 17 October. #HaveYourSay ↓
La evolución de nuestra economía es positiva, pero persisten retos importantes. Distribuir mejor los frutos del crecimiento, atajar el problema de la vivienda y afrontar la debilidad inversora para reforzar la productividad. Lo analizo en @CincoDiascom cincodias.elpais.com/economia/2025-…
When I worked at the IMF, “labor” was invoked frequently - chiefly to argue for a weakening of labor rights. But the word “capital” was nonexistent (except to argue for the liberalization of financial capital).
Until Piketty broke the taboo there was a remarkable shyness about integrating capital in income distribution lest one be accused to be a "Marxist", communist or such alike. Some of it remains today.
I read all 16,100 of Zohran Mamdani’s tweets. First takeaway: yeah, he’s actually a socialist.
💶 El otro Ministro de Hacienda. Durante años el ministerio operó como un ministerio en la sombra al servicio de intereses privados. 🙄 @joanllinar72907 lo llama "Montoro & Asociados y la captura del Estado". agendapublica.es/noticia/20036/…

From an economists' mailing list: "I asked an economist once why the discipline insisted on its core assumptions despite overwhelming evidence that they did not resemble the real world in the slightest. He replied that it is, at heart, a normative theory, not a positive one --…
Our wealth lies in young people; their success shapes all our lives. Stable housing is the foundation of a healthy life. Record numbers of children in temporary accommodation shames us all. Profit-driven developers caused this crisis. The solution is more council housing.
Zohran’s campaign offered a simple demand: Make the city affordable again. Community Wealth Building strategies —public banking, CLTs, co-ops — can provide the tools to do it without permission from Albany. More in my new piece for @DemocracyCollab. democracycollaborative.org/blogs/zohran-m…

At #HLPF, the High-Level Dialogue on Adequate Housing spotlighted housing’s role in advancing the #GlobalGoals. 🏘️ From health to gender equality and economic inclusion—progress depends on investing in housing that’s safe, inclusive, and affordable.
Yo pensaba que visitarían el Plan Vive de Ayuso. Como dicen que es el plan más ambicioso de Europa….
