Three Meanings of Political Economy: Reflections on Intellectual History, Marxism, and Capitalism’s Unthought by Nate Holdren This think piece is part of a JHI Blog forum, β€œThe Return of Political Economy in Intellectual History.”

In an essay in the JHI Blog’s forum on political economy, Nate Holdren elaborates three levels of analytical abstraction at which intellectual historians invoke the term "political economy," turning our attention to the way that capitalism structurally conditions ignorance of the social totality.

Open Letter from CRMEP Students & Researchers on Kingston University’s Wednesday, March 5th, 2025 Β  As of Wednesday 25th February 2025, Kingston University management are proposing the closure of the entire Department of Humanities, including the world-renowned Centre fo...
