"The most important economics book in years"
Nothing less expected from my pal @arjun_jaya35005
Against Money by Mason and Jayadev is simply terrific, probably the best book I've read this year. From capital, to the interest rate, to GDP, they examine the ways in which the money form governs our lives and can observe social relations. Definitely recommend.

A recent paper by @amitbasole and @econarjun at @azimpremjiuniv asks what it means when those two things happen at the same time, and why an economy can look, by almost every headline measure, like it's doing well, while running a very different story underneath.

Understanding the economy is more than analysing data or building models. It is about seeing how policies, markets, and people’s lives are connected—and how economics can help create a more just and inclusive society.

Unemployment rate is the usual metric to understand the ‘wait’ for employment, but how long someone stays jobless also matters. A new CSE WP by Kannan examines what drives unemployment duration & its impact on re-employment earnings and job type.

With @Radhicka on the need for a pre-employment macroeconomic framework.

Emerging economies like #India face a double challenge: grow fast & create decent jobs.
The new Employment in Focus article highlights how pro-employment macro policies- strategic spending, job multipliers, & labour-aware monetary frameworks- can deliver inclusive development.
