Just published in @aeonmag: My essay on economic republicanism — a forgotten tradition that linked freedom to shared power in work, markets, and finance. If democracy feels unfinished, this history might help explain why. aeon.co/essays/the-w...

My new article explores the neoliberalisation of the British worker coop movement. A lost history that speaks directly to today’s debates about ownership and the future of work. It's Open Access, so if it interests you, take a look! tinyurl.com/27r9j957

Thrilled to have another piece out on the history of economic republicanism! In the 19th century, republican ideas were mobilised to argue for popular economic self-government, ideas that still have much to offer in our own age of oligarchy. read.dukeupress.edu/hope/article...

I have a new paper out online in @crispp.bsky.social: I argue that a focus on domination can help us better understand a renewed politics of working time - a reduction in work, the right to disconnect, and challenging employer authority over free time. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Beyond the theoretical binary of state and market. In this new article, I revisit the work of JF Bray. I'm proposing it points towards an economic republicanism that resists both Bosses and Bureaucrats. Popular economic self government, that's the thing journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

I wrote this piece in an attempt to get to grips with economic thinking inside the faction of the Labour Party know as Blue Labour. I hope it's of some interest.
