Summer extravaganza by two usually boring people (at least one of us). We shouldn’t write it, hence we did. A #Marxian piece, disguised as Martian. About #Musk, #AI, robots, Mars, Iain M. Banks, with rather serious questions about #capitalism. Time well wasted. Or not. @zannymb @TheEconomist.

1/ Just out in the Journal of Post Keynesian Economics: "Meeting Pasinetti. Personal recollections and theoretical questioning". Part memoir, part homage to Luigi Pasinetti, one of the greatest political economists, and to the Italian style of political economy he belonged to.

📚 In Indiscipline no. 11 (Morlacchi Editore, 2026), in Italian, I edited a section on some of Keynes's works: Economic Consequences of the Peace (1919), Economic Perspectives for our Grandchildren (1930), A Treatise on Money (1930), General Theory (1936). Four contributions, four voices. A thread 🧵

I have followed yesterday evening the discussion at #UMass about the new translation of #Marx 's #CapitalBookI. I found it disappointing for many reasons on which I cannot elaborate on now. On somehow a separate note, a theoretical/political discussion about alternative translations could be good.

It's a pity that it was never put online this roundtable in Zagreb btw Giovanna Vertova, Michael Heinrich and yours truly. At the Subversive Festival, some years ago, we engaged in a panel discussion on issues at the intersection of gender, social reproduction, and the critique of political economy.

#MichelAglietta passed away. He was a crucial figure in the 1970s and early 1980s for those working at the intersection of #Marx, #money, #unequaldevelopment, #stagesofcapitalism (and later international currency). The early #regulationschool was in dialogue with #SuzannedeBrunhoff. /1

"1) we give a summary of the book. 2) we problematise some conclusions. 3) we concentrate on Mattei’s key comparison btw Britain and Italy after WWI, to draw different inferences. 4) we pull together the main themes, looking at the more recent decades and the book’s theoretical foundation."
