Love the first and second pictures (I mean, especially. The others are good too).

Thanks for posting. I'm looking forward to listening.

The thread that never ends or disappoints.

Inspiration all the way back to the Kalundborg symbiosis.

I had imagined that was what had prompted your post! Yes, sometimes it is not tricky at all. And editors probably do sometimes displace the 'dirty' work of rejection onto reviewers (assuming reviewers can be found!).

Andrew Popp @andrewpopp.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

It can be a genuinely tricky call, though. I know I've got it wrong sometimes. But I also remember all the initially flawed papers that became great and worthwhile through the review process.

A public road runs under the runway at Copenhagen airport. I’ve been through it on a bus several times. This being Denmark I would be surprised if you can’t cycle through it.

Still deeply regret that I couldn't persuade the publishers, despite every effort, that my book on entrepreneurial couple John and Elizabeth Shaw should be called "An Unlimited Partnership."

Amazingly, Danish culture has not collapsed as a result.

Here in Copenhagen we have a whole annual documentary film festival called Syrian doc days. And yes, it’s devoted to Syria.

That sounds weird and awkward? Anyway, I'm going to read the article now.

I hope you will too! At an individual level, the best part is never having to think about a boiler again!

We live with district heating (as does about 98% of Copenhagen) and I love it.

I have seen nothing but the warmest of words since the news broke this morning. That says so much.

Public executions stopped in Britain in 1868, but effective abolition of the death penalty came only in 1969 (with the last execution taking place in 1965).

The 2016 blog is beautifully put Rachel (and sadly prescient). I can't say I knew Chris but he was very generous in his support (and chapter) for a book I co-edited. A very great loss.

Andrew Popp @andrewpopp.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Yes, awful news. I can't claim to have known him, but he was very generous in contributing a chapter to a book I co-edited and in attending the supporting workshop.

It's in these "thickets of mundanities" (to borrow from someone else) that we can discern humanity.

Andrew Popp @andrewpopp.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I mean, the little ones. OK, fair enough. But the giant ones …

Andrew Popp @andrewpopp.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Super interesting - thank you! I supervised a Masters dissertation on the Norwegian exit tax a couple of years, so it's great to begin to see some data.

Obviously, there are more Canadians and they were more frequent visitors, so that drop is more impactful. But the Denmark figures tell a story of a collapse in international standing.

Andrew Popp @andrewpopp.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Never mind Canada, look at Denmark.

As a business historian (kinda) with a background in design history, it was a particular pleasure to bring this great essay to publication.

Andrew Popp @andrewpopp.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

That's a shame. I've seen it paraded through the streets of Copenhagen and have a tiny pink plastic replica.

Andrew Popp @andrewpopp.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Well, I thought it was *quite* a funny joke.

My wife, lucky thing, found a perfect condition Gloverall duffle coat in our local recycling centre (e.g. it was free).

Andrew Popp @andrewpopp.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I’ve wondered about this as there’s also a handful of Spangs here in Denmark.

We have a tiny pink plastic version the artist was distributing at a rally in support of Greenland in Copenhagen.

I like to think of it as depicting TCW not dead, but in a fainting swoon, appalled at the outrages of the woke.

I can't help it, every time I see his name I automatically think of this painting.

The painting "The Death of Chatterton" by British artist Henry Wallis, completed in 1856.

My dept @ Copenhagen Business School is offering 1 postdoc & 1 Phd in the intellectual history of corporate politics, contributing to a project on contestations over the state-firm boundary & mobilization of analogies between state and firm in projecting political and economic visions. See below

I'm sitting in my kitchen, about 500m from his grave.

A joint special issue - that's a very cool thing to do.

I have been profoundly atheist for almost all my life but have always responded very strongly to church architecture not for the structures themselves but for the spaces they shape and contain.

Our sense of scale took a long time to adjust when we first moved to Copenhagen. You'd look at a map and think, oh, that's right over the other side of the city. And then you'd realise that it's still only 15 or 20 minutes away.

It's World Architecture Day and the Danish Architecture Center is celebrating by opening its latest exhibition - "Cities for People". There is a full program of events and the Center will be free to enter all day. No less than Jan Gehl will make an opening speech. #urbanism #architecture

Cities for People - Danish Architecture Center - DAC

Cities for People at the Danish Architecture Center (DAC) in Copenhagen explores the city at a human scale — and how urban spaces shape urban health, wellbeing and community.

There's a lot to choose from: Ted Heath? Or Norman Tebbit? Or Keith - "Edgbaston" - Joseph? Or Chris Patten?

I'm sure the letter writer would enjoy this signage in the visitor centre at Børsen in Copenhagen as it undergoes restoration following the devastating fire of 2024.
