'(semi-)peripheral economies are integrated into global platform capitalism...via regulatory accommodations for multinational corporations...legitimised through discourses of modernisation, economic growth and development.' Can't help thinking of Starmer's UK journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

The US is moving from passive 'let it rip' policies around climate and pandemic management to an active 'make it rip' strategy dismantling all safeguards around people's livelihoods.

Sure, the US may be descending into authoritarianism, but have you considered "𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬"!? The @marlenebenquet.bsky.social @theobourgeron.bsky.social theory of why alt finance loves the alt right, as macro trader op-ed. www.ft.com/content/3e8c...

Another incredible piece by @nathantankus.bsky.social. Trump/Musk claiming "we don't know how much gold there is" reminds me of the Greek PM in 2010 claiming that they "did not know" how many public servants were working for the state. What's interesting though >> www.crisesnotes.com/a-scam-built...

Het misverstand van onze tijd is dat de belangrijkste politieke kloof die tussen globalisten en nationalisten is. De Canadese historicus Quinn Slobodian ziet in plaats daarvan een krachtenbundeling van geradicaliseerde neoliberalen en uiterst rechts, ook buiten de VS. @koenhaegens.bsky.social

Brave to @jeffstein.bsky.social, WaPo's chief economics correspondent, for not wasting any time in stating what must be stated. Hopefully the first of many.

I always struggle a little to explain my students why Marxists are right about freedom in the capitalist state. Jeff Bezos does it so much better.

Elon Musk's only profitable company, Tesla, has created a cumulative grand total net income of $34 billion in its more than 20 years of existence. That's less than the total amount of US federal subsidies his empire has collectively received. The economics of Elon Musk are as bad as the politics.

"[T]he election will not usher the far right into power" is a remarkably confident assumption in a world adrift by far-right power politics.

"Merz zet zichzelf graag neer als de man van het democratische midden ... Door Merz is het democratische midden wél naar rechts opgeschoven ... Merz belooft dat er onder zijn leiding vanaf dag één geen asielzoeker het land meer binnenkomt, een standpunt dat lang was voorbehouden aan uiterst rechts"

I lived in Munich in the mid-2000s, renting a room from an artist who made this picture early September 2001. It captured me, and he gave me copy when I left. Looking at it now, it never looked so goddamn heavy.

Spoke to @democracynow.org about the history of strange bedfellows between cost-cutters and Leviathan-tamers and the glimmer of hope in Germany pushing back against Musk's aspiration to be global kingmaker. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIPW...
