Some very kind words on "Against Money" from @kmichaelwilson.bsky.social . Thank you very much! It is so gratifying to see the book make its way into the world, to see it being read, and perhaps even being helpful for folks! @jwmason.bsky.social , @chadzimmerman.bsky.social

The “teen takeovers” in Chicago take place in Hyde Park, and I can confirm they are a little nerve wracking. BUT ALSO, the term “teen takeover” is objectively hilarious and stupid, and I hope teen takeovers continue so we can keep saying it www.npr.org/2026/05/13/n...

Mac Barnett is 100% correct that most children’s books today are bad. My kids gravitate to problematic old stuff, which were at least respectful of young readers’ intelligence and ability to process complex emotions. If Jon Klassen publishes with Mac Barnett, then Barnett is bulletproof IMO.

The response from people who’ve read it has been so gratifying. They all talk about how brain-bending and genre-defying it is. And they’re right. Some people have compared it to Piketty or Graeber, and there’s some of that. But it’s its own thing, and it’s beautiful.

But their reasons and voices are never acerbic! AGAINST MONEY is like a loving study of something deeply stupid because its authors refuse to be cynical or rote or to give money any more oxygen that it already has.

Money privileges money because it makes more money. Mason and Jayadev mine the history of economic thought and the principles of modern economics to explain how.

Chad Zimmerman @chadzimmerman.bsky.social · 03/04/2026
In this way, money changes things: it perverts and subverts everything while it represents it. The real world becomes the money world. That’s bad, but now normal.

Money is weird. It’s our most important social technology, but it doesn’t do what it purports to do, which is offer a neutral shorthand for value and exchange in the real world. Monetary value, when you compare it to the world of actual things, is an ass-backward concept.
