My blog is on holiday until Tuesday, January 6, 2026.
\n<\/p>\n

We are planning to finish the manuscript for the Second Edition of our Macroeconomics textbook by year’s end and that is what I am working fervently on in the next week.<\/p>\n

I am also preparing for a conversation next week with the Post-Neoliberalism Oral History Project which is run out of Columbia University. The Project is documenting the views of various writers who have contributed to topics of relevance to the theme. I am very happy to have been selected.<\/p>\n

And this morning I was out in force – freezing at the local Parkrun. It’s Summer and yet the weather is like Winter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The weather is being driven by the so-called – Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW)<\/a> – event over Antartica, which has disrupted the Polar Vortex since September.<\/p>\n

Not only has the temperature at the pole risen significantly but the SSW has pushed cold air and very high winds into the mid-latitudes – that is, where I live.<\/p>\n

The SSW has persisted for several months now and has made the Spring and early Summer feel very much like Winter, although I was away in Japan for the Spring.<\/p>\n

So today, at the Parkrun start line it was freezing.<\/p>\n

There were also a lot of people dressed in funny clothes too, like this woman. I wasn’t sure what that was about and I was too cold to ask.<\/p>\n

But the running was good.<\/p>\n

All the best for 2026.<\/p>\n

That is enough for today!<\/p>\n
