[Edited Message Follows] [Reason: typos.] Hari, I suspect Tooze still harbours sympathies for Marxism as a method of analysis if not as a movement. That's how I interpret his posting of Sweezy's criticism of Keynes and his recent podcast series on the economic thought of Luxemburg, Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin. As you likely know, he's a red diaper baby who used to belong to the IS in Britain. Now he's a widely known university prof and Financial Times columnist who is cognizant of the reflexive political prejudices of the readers and listening audience he is discretely trying to influence. His historical work - on Wall Street's failed attempt to manage the postwar debts and reparations crisis of the 1920's (The Deluge) , on the Nazi war economy (Wages of Destruction), on the 2007-09 fiscal crisis (Crashed), and on the economic effects of the 2020 pandemic (Shutdown) - has been well received on the left and across the political spectrum.
