This work is another point in a larger trend that I observe since last year: In discussions and news about economics we suddenly read and hear much more concrete information instead of abstract numbers: We produce this quantity of X, we lack Y, there is a disruption of Z. The last time I noticed this was when I read old texts from (socialist) GDR. Apparently, it is a sign of a fundamental economic crisis.
