The cover of our book entitled PEAK PHARMA: TOWARD A NEW POLITICAL ECONOMY OF HEALTH.

In the 1980s, a monster was assembled in the pharmaceutical world that pitted patients' interests against those of pharmaceutical investors: the neoliberal pharma model. In PEAK PHARMA w/ @susigeiger.bsky.social, out today @academic.oup.com, we show that this monster is entering a crucial phase...

This is super exciting! Félicitations Théo - j'ai hâte de le lire.

Another banger! Carla studies the most depraved neoliberal writings so you don't have to. This is a must read.

haha! that's a nice way of putting it! Thanks Jack!

My new article with @econsocjournal.bsky.social on Gary Becker's analyses on suicide is out! I use Becker's assertion that ‘Most (if not all!) deaths are to some extent suicides’ to reflect on how the late Chicago School framed death and mortality as a choice, thus normalising mortality inequality

Thanks @chenchenzhang.net - that's a great read! Funnily enough I gave both Polanyi and Cooper to read to students this week

Message publié sur LinkedIn : "Comme je le montre dans ma thèse sur la stratégie d'influence politique de Google en France, Philippe Aghion, nouveau "nobélisé" d'économie, est parmi ceux dont les travaux furent le plus mobilisés pour délégitimer toute tentative de régulation des grands acteurs du numérique, dès la fin des années 2000, en France comme à l'échelle de l'Union européenne. Son argument phare ? Un schumpétérianisme de bon aloi : "ne maltraitons pas les acteurs innovants"."

Thanks Ian!

Thanks Pasko! Very happy it can be useful. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you need people to read your piece before submission

You will not see a more tangible encapsulation of the genocide. A war of utter annihilation waged as a joint enterprise between the Israeli state on the ground and its allies in consistent support. The debt of reparations that the West owes to the Palestinian people at this point is incalculable.

An interesting project in Denmark is looking for a PhD & a post-doc in rhetoric: "Talking Empire: Prime Ministerial Rhetoric and the Search for a Usable Past in Post-Imperial Britain (1960-2025)”. PhD link in the reply. Postdoc here: fa-eosd-saasfaprod1.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

Just reposting in case of interest. Applications close next week. Come to work with @harveymurenow.bsky.social, Jack Copley, Eugenia Giraudo and me!

Pourquoi des franges croissantes du patronat français soutiennent-elles l'extrême-droite? Pour changer la réglementation à leur profit, certes, mais aussi pour provoquer un changement de régime... J'explore ces questions dans un entretien pour L'Huma de ce jour 👇👇

A “Tragic Humanitarian Crisis”: Israel’s Weaponization of Starvation and the Question of Intent Published in Journal of Genocide Research (Ahead of Print, 2024)

I wrote about how Israel mobilises a highly permissive interpretation of the international humanitarian law prohibition of starving civilians to portray its starvation campaign as a ‘tragic humanitarian crisis’’ and give legal cover to its genocide. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Austerity governance and the performance anxieties of the tax state Austerity might not have reduced the net spend of the state, but it has certainly transformed it into something more centralised, coercive, and managerial. The austerity literature often explains t...

Great new paper on the political economy of austerity by @ilovering.bsky.social. Uncovers history of austerity as an expansive programme of state planning and centralisation of power, rather than a macroeconomic policy driven by bond holders, state slashers etc www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
