Thanks Quinn for recirculating this!

Star Wars: Why the Left Should Protect the Status of Space as Humanity’s Commons Wealthy countries and corporations are seeking to rewrite international law to undermine the neutrality of space and privatise its land and resources.

Great overview by @cibled.bsky.social for @cmmonwealth.bsky.social here who is also writing an excellent chapter on the convergence of “space libertarians” and venture capital for a volume we are working on.

One of the many ways the 1970s is a foreign country is how marginal this vision of space was. Common heritage of mankind, site for international cooperation, frontier of research. The fight to make it a “perfect playground for libertarian billionaires” was a long one.

Now available for pre-order and we're open for book talks to students, workshops and conferences, organisations etc.

I was lucky to join @addiemcgowan.bsky.social and @philiproscoe.bsky.social's (not so virtual) kitchen to chat about Musk and founder ideology with @dominikzelinsky.bsky.social. My podcast's baptism of fire 🙈 - thanks for having me!

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!

Check out the brilliant @cibled.bsky.social in @econsocjournal.bsky.social on the extremes of Becker's human capital theory & its normalisation of inequality.

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"."

Sur le prix Nobel d'économie décerné au macroniste Philippe Aghion, ce rappel instructif de @cthibout.bsky.social.

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...
