A much needed group update...
Due to lack of growth and capacity, it is unfotunately time for @thewceg, in its current form, to wrap up. I want to thank everyone who got involved and supported us along the way - you know who you are.
Hopefully we have got you thinking about class a bit more and given you some confidence that you know what you are talking about when it comes to the economy. As we always said, class matters and you understand the economy better than you think you do.

‘At the crux of this issue is a question politicians of all parties are determined to ignore: Who controls our economy?’
My piece on Grangemouth & the (un)just transition for the @TheWCEG blog.

"We know all too well that a transition entrusted to the free market will leave power and profit centralised in the hands of the ruling class."

The closing down of the Grangemouth refinery is just another moment in the long history of managed decline.
@MccailColl gives us a great rundown in this guest piece on why we can't let a just transition be an unjust one for workers.

We are having our reading group session later this evening on Dani Rodrik's piece, On Productivism, which is sure to be a great discussion.
A quick question: Is productivism, "a new paradigm" as Rodrik calls, the way foward?🤔
