We did have to look up what a halberd was though! A long axe with a spike coming out of it. Sounds nasty! And slightly disappointed that Adam Smith didn't get a shout out in the notes section. Still unhappy we can't get a £20 out in class & tell them they can be revising whilst spending money! 😭
Had a lovely time at the @bankofengland.bsky.social launch of @rupaleconomics.bsky.social & Jack Leslie's new book 'Money: The Inside Story' with @soumayakeynes.ft.com hosting. Read the first couple of chapters on the way home & it's as brilliantly accessible as the first BofE book! #EconSky
Rational economic man is at the heart of economics don't y'know? #EconSky 🤣

Good article from @faisalislam.bsky.social - in many respects it is a long winded way of saying that fans are being ripped off! 😂 FIFA destroying football but pretending it's all for the good of the game. #EconSky www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
On this day in 1928, John Nash Jr was born. Famously played by Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind, he was the economist that advanced game theory & the Nash Equilibrium is named after him. He was known for his odd behaviour such as his fear of red ties! #EconSky podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

On this day in 1847, Millicent Fawcett was born. Predominantly known for her role as a suffragist, she was also one of the best selling economists of her era and contributed to labour market theory related to female employment.

This is a brilliant although concerning video about falling birthrates from @jburnmurdoch.ft.com - really well explained with some fascinating data. #EconSky youtu.be/6lFXmDk-tps?...
"Something remarkable happened in April. For the first time in history, wind and solar generated more electricity than gas across the entire planet. Not in a country. Not in a region. Globally."
Tons of great news here from Danny Kennedy (via @billmckibben.bsky.social's newsletter, which rules).

I know Calvin’s dad is already having a moment, but every terrible “outsource precious and fleeting moments with your children to tech so that you can spend more time on your work” pitch makes me think of that one strip I never really cared about as a kid, but care a lot about as an adult.
