I agree with the contention of this piece that it is a mistake to see "Bidenomics" as a mere “derisking” of neoliberal investment. Rather, it represented a deep reconfiguration of state-economy relations, signaling the reemergence of the U.S. developmental state. journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....

Today, Noam Maggor (@maggor.bsky.social) concludes our symposium on @jasonbjackson.bsky.social's *Traders, Speculators, and Captains of Industry.* Although rooted in Indian history, he argues, the book’s thoroughly global-comparative mode of analysis allows it to resonate far beyond South Asia.

The Politics of Capitalist Legitimacy
At the core of Jason Jackson's Traders, Speculators, and Captains of Industry is a longstanding conversation among Indian modernizers about how to identify and nurture the ‘right’ kind of capitalists.
