Nicolas Colin — Brexit: Doom, or Europe’s Polanyi Moment?


Brad DeLong calls this a must-read. I agree.

It's mostly about the current historical period, which Nicholas Colin interprets and as a "Polanyi moment" (my phrase). It's insightful and contains a lot of useful links. It's historical and institutionalist, as well as forward looking. Colin also provides some insights about revising the political compass relevant to current events.

A bit longish, covering a lot of ground. But it is a very worthwhile read, at least down to the section of Brexit at the end, which may be more of interest to Brits.
