Next Wednesday, 5 November, I will be giving a talk on my research in Mexico City at the Centre for Sustainable Development Studies, University of Amsterdam. I am really looking forward to it, and very happy to have Maria Kaika and Rutgerd Boelens as commenters.

"Is fascism 'value for money '?" is definitely not the question we should be asking.
