Just read @jonathanbchait.bsky.social "The Antitrust Theory of Everything" and response from Barry Lynn @openmarkets.bsky.social. Have to side with Lynn. The neo-Brandeisians do not claim that antitrust cures all - but address imbalances of power more broadly. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Just back from the Emerging Political Economies Network meeting in Johannesburg. I was struck by some startling glimpses of idealism: e.g. Doris Tshepe on antitrust policy in the public interest, or Zane Dangor on a principle-based global order. Crazy, right? witsepenetwork.witsevents.co.za

What determines how much you get paid? I started to think about this a few years ago, and that led me on a winding path through labor economics textbooks and sociological research and eventually resulted in this piece just out (open access) in Politics & Society. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Considering a PhD in political economy? Or advising students who might be? We think we have found the right formula. Candidates apply to the department of their choice and then they can join an incredible interdisciplinary community by adding a "designated emphasis" in political economy.
