I wrote a review of Lorenzo Feltrin's very good book. I'd appreciate if you'd read the review and I hope it makes you want to read the book. prometheus-mag.com/2026/09/17/a...

This piece by @jackcopley.bsky.social works not only as a review of Timothy Mitchell's latest, but as a critique of fashionable theories of capitalism that dismiss production and surplus extraction in favor of novelties like rent-seeking. newleftreview.org/issues/ii159...

For those interested in value theory and the critique of political ecology: This new article by André Novas Otero shows how rent can only be understood in terms of its double basis (natural difference and class power), and how this double basis helps explain the persistence of uneven development.

“The mythological idea of fate becomes no less mythical when it is demythologised ‘into a secular “logic of things”’ that on the pain of ruin judges the actions of the actual individuals by means of competing price signals’ (Adorno). Fate is a category of a ghostlike society.” | Bonefeld
