Economist and host of Macrodose podcast James Meadway joins us on this episode to talk about how and why economists post, and how it's changed from the blogging era to platforms. We talk about the idea of authority among economists online, whether posting has diluted the value of economic debate, and Paul Krugman's Twitter prophecy of 2013 – one that he then went on to ignore entirely.

Please do make your voice heard in other ways about this. Showing up at protest marches and writing letters to elected MPs are useful acts of solidarity. Please encourage your elected representatives to support calls for a ceasefire, while still bearing in mind a ceasefire represents the bare minimum.
