The Supply Chain of Economic Ideas
This paper develops the supply chain of economic ideas framework to address how institutional networks coordinate to achieve both stability and change in economic policymaking, arguing that both are products of the same institutional processes with coherence emerging through differentiation rather than convergence. A quantitative text analysis of 233 documents from the Federal Reserve, Economic Reports of the President, and Joint Economic Committ…
Strategic repoliticisation
When inflation returned to the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic after decades of price stability, it created a critical test for the accountability mechanisms underpinning the system of delegated monetary policy governance. Using a mixed-methods analysis of congressional testimony, press conferences, and political communications on X during the 2021–2022 mid-term cycle, this paper examines whether Congress subjected the Federal Reserve …
The US’ Polycentric Innovation State
This paper analyses US innovation policymaking since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, as prevailing political economy accounts, such as the Varieties of Capitalism, often under-conceptualise the extensive federal and state governmental roles in fostering innovation. Employing inductive process tracing, the study analyses federal innovation strategies alongside those of Maine and Michigan using the Polycentric Innovation State framework, characte…

Bringing Household Finance Back In
This article makes a key contribution to the comparative political economy literature by accounting for the macroeconomic role of household finance. Based on post-Keynesian theories of finance and the financialization literature, we place house prices and mortgage credit squarely at the center of the macroeconomy, as speculative house price cycles can facilitate homeowner consumption via the use of equity release mortgages. Through an econometric…

The manufactured crisis of Covid-Keynesianism in Britain, Germany and the USA
Economic policymaking shifted away from neoliberal ideals towards ‘crisis’ Keynesianism during the COVID-19 pandemic. We use a comparative process tracing approach to examine how political and economic actors in Britain, Germany and the USA attempt to legitimise a potential return to neoliberalism to voters. We show that pro-neoliberal actors discursively construct a ‘crisis’ of COVID-Keynesianism by associating it with rising inflation and ‘unsu…
The Political Economy of Household Debt & The Keynesian Policy Paradigm
Britain is an exemplar of a financialised economy that developed systems of household debt to drive economic growth from the 1980s onwards. The prevailing critical and constructivist accounts consider this development as a key feature distinguishing neoliberalism from Keynesianism. We challenge these prevailing accounts for insufficiently acknowledging the socio-political motivations and consequences of a significant rise in household debt from 1…
Populism, Brexit, and the manufactured crisis of British neoliberalism
The recent rise of populism has threatened to undermine the stability of international economic integration. Using the case of Britain's 2016 vote to leave the European Union, we challenge prevailing accounts explaining populism as political response to neoliberalism's negative impact on voters. This conceptualisation does not sufficiently explain voter support for populist political actors advocating the further entrenchment of neoliberal policy…
Can household debt influence income inequality? Evidence from Britain
The various processes of financialisation widen inequalities by increasing incomes for financial sector employees and shareholders, as well as affluent households who hold the concentrated ownership of financial assets. Although interest payments provide a flow of revenue from indebted households to financial institutions, the distributional consequences of such debt-based systems of financialisation remain an under-explored research area. As the…
Mortgage Credit
The integration of small states into the international financial system has constrained their ability to enact the traditional macroeconomic tools of fiscal and monetary policy. As systems of mortgage credit are tightly integrated into global capital markets and influence flows of capital between states, this paper uses Denmark as a case study to explore whether domestic mortgage sector reforms have been used to build financial capacity to compen…
The integrating role of private homeownership and mortgage credit in British neoliberalism
The financialization of the British economy has occurred in part due to the deregulation of the financial sector by the Thatcher government, which was necessary to support their drive to widen access to private housing. However, explaining how the macroeconomic effects of increased homeownership and mortgage credit under the Thatcher government can be more concretely linked to the micro-foundations of the economy and subject formation remains an …
The effects of the distribution of mortgage credit on the wage share
The last frontier’
As the twentieth century opened, there were rumours that the cheap land underpinning the dramatic spread of settlement in the previous century might be running out. There were strong motivations, generated particularly by the large body of land seekers with a passion for farming, to hold off the demise of the famous agricultural frontier. Also wedded to the continuation of a frontier were politicians and civil servants across the country. Whether…

The demise of the working group on historical changes in spatial organization
Grand Design on the Fringes of Empire
There was an increasing elaboration of a town model introduced by British authorities to the new American colonies in the second half of the eighteenth century. The simplest versions, in Nova Scotia (from 1749), gave way to ‘classic’ Charlottetown (1768) and eventually to excesses in Ontario (ca 1790). The model and its elaboration are clarified, the circuitous route for the planning inspiration is traced, and an explanation is offered for the ov…
Simulating Pre‐census Population Distribution
Hints for Travelling Divers
Safe diving demands a minimum team of four or more members, each equipped with heavy apparatus and supported by boats, compressors, recompression chambers and other heavy plant. When travelling abroad, underwater ex? plorers must either organize a self-contained expedition equipped with all the necessary facilities, or plan to travel alone, diving at sites where local facilities and diving partners are to be found. This article provides hints for…
