Je suis étudiant dans le Master d'économie politique du capitalisme à l'Université de Genève. Ma thèse s'intéresse aux finances publiques suisse sous l'angle du mécanisme du frein à l'endettement, une loi qui oblige le gouvernement à limiter ses dépenses au niveau des recettes, ce qui limite son pouvoir d'action dans l'économie.
Au delà des finances publiques, je m'intéresse également aux questions de gouvernance - notamment les biens communs - ainsi qu'aux inégalités socio-économiques.

The blog post by Marc Lavoie contrasts what he perceives as the two main interpretations of the current inflationary tendencies (the 'excessive demand inflation' story and the 'profit inflation' story) and contrasts them with a third interpretation. This interpretation acknowledes rising profits but argues in favor of a different mechanism that centers on changes in the relative composition of costs.
Some controversies in the causes of the post-pandemic inflation
The dominant view of inflation holds that it is macroeconomic in origin and must always be tackled with macroeconomic tightening. In contrast, we argue that the US COVID-19 inflation is predominantly a sellers’ inflation that derives from microeconomic origins, namely the ability of firms with market power to hike prices.
