I don't find it hard to believe! Our internal self-doubt isn't always correct and most of us tend to overthink these things.

Two salient factors are that the UK, compared to our continental peers, are much, much more socially liberal across all age groups. And the Reform vote is very heavily skewed towards older demographics. Things are bleak but we're looking at a more optimistic picture than France or Italy.

Actual polling data consistenly records a huge, but often unnoticed, shift in young women who are becoming much, much more progressive. Young men are also becoming more progressive, but it's just a less pronounced shift bsky.app/profile/dunc...

the shooter was an online gamer. it's important for newsrooms to understand video games more than ever. that's where i step in. so umamusume: pretty derby (ウマ娘 プリティーダービー) is a gacha horse racing simulator based on real life japanese race horses. in the world of umamusume, anime girls replace horses,

Also he is silly but Graeber's Debt is not the worst place to start either.

It's okay! It's well written and quotable but the history itself is rather outdated. My partner got it me as a gift the other week :) I'd recommend Glyn Davies (huge) book or Michel Aglietta's if you want something shorter to start.

Many economists are convinced that credit and the World Bank are something 'new, because they have never heard of the fairs at Piacenza or the Burgos Consulado. - Pierre Vilar - A History of Gold and Moeny

If the economists of the 1920s failed to understand monetary instability, which in their eyes was something 'new,' it was because they only looked at recent history. Had they gone back to the 14th or 17th centuries, they would have seen what devaluation really was.

There is, of course, no more dangerous illusion than that of novelty, which often reflects nothing more than an ignorance of history. While history does not aim to prove that 'nothing is new,' it should indicate that not everything is as new as contemporary opinion believes.

Feel like that sentiment has been there for at least 10 years or more. No one in Europe thinks 'Made in America' suggests anything good or exciting. Except maybe Hollywood and that's lost a lot of it's lustre lately as well

Hell Yeah I saw one of these the other day and wondered if you'd done one already

Tentative drafts

But the only way you can do that is treating Marx historically - not churning out another value-form book that removes Marx from the world of mid-Victorian finance and the contemporary debates of monetary theory he was concerned with

This was actually what I was obsessed with researching before I became too occupied with Transgender Marxism - ever since I read Jairus Banaji's essay on bills of exchange and Marx I really wanted to understand how that financial world worked - and what Marx got wrong about it!

Collapse of Overend & Gurney was Lehman Brothers of its day and Marx is obsessed with it - it appears in his notebooks but only infrequently mentioned in Capital - talking about his theory of crisis without understanding what the crises he experienced were about makes no sense

Of the two recent biographies of Marx - Liedman and Stedman-Jones, neither mention the Currency vs Banking school debates. Despite loads of interest in MMT etc none of the recent value-form books talks about Thomas Tooke, Fullarton, Overstone etc or even attempts to explain why they mattered so much

Spent years since Transgender Marxism depressed not to have another project lined up and now I finally think I've found my thing. Would you read a book tentatively titled 'Karl Marx and the Bank of England'? Nobody has written this book and all the Marxist secondary literature is really, really bad

Also, I think good writing is genuinely hard because it takes a long time to think of something that's actually worth saying. Anyone who says otherwise is an Oxbridge bluffing wanker. So don't worry too much.

My experience is being very bad at writing and very unsatisfied with it despite reading a lot of books. But then when I actually needed to write, the more I did the better I got at it.
