Whenever I hear of a plan to move in a particular direction (e.g. reduce #tradedeficit in goods), I wonder who's already there - what they look like: that offers clues about where a plan might take one.

Das höre ich in d Klarheit das erste Mal von d #CDU. Paradigmenwechsel in der CDU, da bisher die Kreditfinanzierung an sich bereits Hexenzeug war.

https://www.exploring-economics.org/en/discover/putting-jurisprudence-back-into-economics/
#Economics as it has been defined in the 20th century has largely ignored questions of #jurisprudence, property rights, contracts and #legal structure of economic institutions. Bringing jurisprudence considerations back into economics leads to radically different conclusions
