terrible news of Perry Mehrling passing. RIP to a wonderful scholar & teacher who demystified the global financial crisis that wrecked a generation. He has left an oeuvre with a powerful message: Money is a hierarchy of promises & payments, anchored by central bank money sites.bu.edu/perry/lectur...

The dam broke so: I'm so shocked to find out that Perry Mehrling died. I had lots of disagreements with Perry but he was always very generous with me & was a big influence on my generation of heterodox monetary thinkers. No one did more to highlight the role of dealers in financial market governance

Right so the war against social science. Yes it’s ideological. It’s also a termination letter from the state saying it no longer needs legitimation. that’s the public crisis — ask yourself why it doesn’t need legitimacy.

"Studies have shown that in some jurisdictions where diversion programs exist, cases that might otherwise have been dismissed ... are instead funneled into [diversion]. As such, diversion can produce a 'net widening' effect, expanding the reach of the criminal legal system rather than reducing it."
