My new article with @mihjournal.bsky.social is at long last in orbit. It explores how the neoliberal fantasy machine has used space colonisation to wish away the problem of environmental limits and revive the legitimation of private property.

How does rampant #assetisation and variation in #assetmanagement affect social conflicts? Our special issue co-edited with @theobourgeron.bsky.social in New Political Economy proposes a framework to analyse such asset struggles and brings together 7 papers with key empirical studies. 🧵

This is a lovely write-up of a remarkable place. Quietly transgressive in ways that already now feel impossible. Was my dream job to join Perc, so sad to see it go

A eulogy from Will here on what we were able to do at PERC, with a handful of staff, a small budget, a willingness to carry furniture when organising events, a brilliant wider network & some amazing students. It was a very special time and place.

Such sad news! I'm feeling rather emotional reading this... I'm so glad to have been part of the PERC adventure. So many exciting collaborations and events, and more importantly so many friends met along the way... Thanks @will-davies.bsky.social for keeping the light on until the end.

My new article with @econsocjournal.bsky.social on Gary Becker's analyses on suicide is out! I use Becker's assertion that ‘Most (if not all!) deaths are to some extent suicides’ to reflect on how the late Chicago School framed death and mortality as a choice, thus normalising mortality inequality

Sur le prix Nobel d'économie décerné au macroniste Philippe Aghion, ce rappel instructif de @cthibout.bsky.social.
Message publié sur LinkedIn : "Comme je le montre dans ma thèse sur la stratégie d'influence politique de Google en France, Philippe Aghion, nouveau "nobélisé" d'économie, est parmi ceux dont les travaux furent le plus mobilisés pour délégitimer toute tentative de régulation des grands acteurs du numérique, dès la fin des années 2000, en France comme à l'échelle de l'Union européenne. Son argument phare ? Un schumpétérianisme de bon aloi : "ne maltraitons pas les acteurs innovants"."

You will not see a more tangible encapsulation of the genocide. A war of utter annihilation waged as a joint enterprise between the Israeli state on the ground and its allies in consistent support. The debt of reparations that the West owes to the Palestinian people at this point is incalculable.

I wrote about how Israel mobilises a highly permissive interpretation of the international humanitarian law prohibition of starving civilians to portray its starvation campaign as a ‘tragic humanitarian crisis’’ and give legal cover to its genocide. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
