One of the joys of writing a book: travelling to talk about it! Heading home after APSA and talks on Marx and the Politics of Need at Yale and Florida International. Huge thanks to Paul North and Matt Shafer for hosting so warmly. Flying back with lots to think about! tinyurl.com/MarxandthePo...

A real pleasure to talk Marx and the Politics of Need at APSA, and especially to have such generous, thoughtful critics to talk it through with. Lots to chew over, lots to take away, and such a fun way to spend a Sunday morning. Huge thanks to everyone who came along! tinyurl.com/MarxandthePo...

Many thanks to Matthew Rutherford for such a generous and thought-provoking review of Marx and the Politics of Need. A pleasure to read, and it leaves me with some excellent questions to think through! marxandphilosophy.org.uk/reviews/2275...

‘Marx and the Politics of Need’ by George Boss reviewed by Matthew Rutherford

Needs occupy a central place in political debates; we need access to healthcare, we need public transport, we need economic growth, etc. But despite the prevalence of needs in our politics, needs them...

George Boss @georgeboss.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

For those of you wondering what I'm currently up to... Learning lots already. Still pinching myself that I get to do this for three years. Speak to me anytime about needs, voice, poverty, activism.

Excited for this one: workshop @ QMUL on work, needs, and their connection. Bringing together political theorists and researchers across geography, political economy & more to ask how we assess work beyond the size of the paycheck — dignity, security, purpose, flourishing? 📍Graduate Centre GC101

Our issue on Public Political Philosophy is out in the world! tinyurl.com/PublicPolPhilo We asked about the gap between political philosophy and everyday politics: why it’s there, how to close it, whether we ought to. The answers were engaging, rigorous, exciting, often surprising. Do take a look!

Yay for physical copies of the book (one day late for the first book talk, but never mind)! The thing is open access (as per funky open padlock symbol on the front cover doi.org/10.4324/9781...), so can't imagine too many of these will find their way into the offline realm
