Does anyone here have experience with raising concerns about the quality of a review to editors they are willing to share (possibly by email/pm)? I don't have much hope, but I think some things need to be said, especially after having the manuscript under review for almost 2 years.

LSE Inequalities @lseinequalities.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

Talk of building a good society is often met with the charge of utopianism. But this is wrong, argues @profkepickett.bsky.social of @equalitytrust.bsky.social. The blueprint for a fairer society lies in front of us – but it requires moving away from “trickle-down” economics #LSEInequalitiesBlog

Why my vision of a Good Society is evidence-based, not utopian

We have a choice about the kind of society that we build. A fairer, more prosperous society is possible, but requires moving away from “trickle-down” economics.
