I'm kinda curious about how Carlson's Hitler/Nazi Germany was not so bad take squares with his pro-Russian, pro-Poutine orientation.

I just spotted that my book was one of those reviewed in this suggestive essay about the transnational circulation and contestation of, and adaptation to, neoliberal ideas in late C20th European social democracy. Very pleasing to be read alongside such excellent authors. doi.org/10.1017/S096...

Privatization wasn’t on the ballot when Canadians voted for Mark Carney. Really foul the way he’s using the blind trust so many continue to have in him to make massive, fundamental changes to Canada (hurting normal Canadians) so big companies can profit. Please pay attention.
