Good morning-let’s hope for more days like this ….taken on the banks of Loch Lomond

THIS makes me think

My recent work on Economics of the #CommonGood offers a reframing of economics to focus as much on the ‘how’ as the ‘what’. I recently organised an event at the Vatican to discuss this approach with PM Mia Mottley & @pontifexeng.bsky.social Watch the full film here: youtu.be/Ev3SOKNNtF

I'm reading it. I'm teaching it. Let's read it together

I didn’t think it was possible to be more disappointed in Labour than I already was but here we are.

"Go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow...You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something." ~Kurt Vonnegut

when your plan is to get BlackRock to rebuild Britain, even the FT is to your left.

In awe of Gisèle Pelicot. Thinking of her and all survivors today.

Learning Disobedience in African Studies...Excellent talk by Keynote by Patricia Daley. You may also wanna check out the rich archive of the Cluster "AfricaMultiple" on youtube (www.youtube.com/@africamulti...). #geosky #geo #geography #socialtheory #afripolsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=36mR...

I love my rejection slips. They show me I try. —Sylvia Plath—

She looked us all in the face.

I stand with the thousands of Teamsters workers across the country who are striking over Amazon's refusal to bargain. Amazon had $15B in profits last quarter. Don't tell me they can't afford to bargain a fair contract.

Elon Musk is a clown, a descendant of racist white people that colonized South Africa. If you drive his cars, buy his garbage, you are part of the problem. All of us need to mock his dumbass early and often.

And so it continues. Musk could bankroll the entire European far-right to power and not see a dent in his fortunes. We have birthed a monster.

Join us!

I swear...this talk was given BEFORE the Musk takeover of DOGE/valley takeover of the White House.

Had the chance to teach the Banker Ladies film earlier this semester. Students loved thinking about mutualist and grassroots forms of community finance. Thrilled there is now this wonderful book! Congrats @carolinehossein.bsky.social #solidarityeconomy #communityfinance

and his adopted home was Sri Lanka. If I recall, he lived there until his death.

It's the Winter Solstice. After today, in the North, the days will slowly lengthen. Spring will come. It's a time when our ancestors marked the defeat of darkness with celebrations; so important they created a magnificent device to pinpoint the day. The light will return. Happy Solstice all! ❤️

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere. The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back. A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year. Fiat lux! 📷 by @annieworsley.bsky.social

A recent analysis found that when Trump imposed tariffs during his first term, companies who contributed to Republicans were more likely to be granted tariff exemptions. Trump's corporate donors won't shoulder the cost of his trade wars. It's crony capitalism at its worst.

A lot of people are urged to go to college as a magic ticket to economic security and end up with nothing but debt and jobs they could get without a degree. Some smart people recognize the trades are a better living, even with a degree.

What is the working class? Many invoke it in this election, but no one defines it. How much is it economic, when a plumber can make 10x as much as adjunct professor? How much is it cultural/an identity, or the kind of labor? Why so many 1930s white-guy versions when so many are women and BIPOC?

Our article, based on primary exploratory surveys of women, is published: "Capability Approach Lens to Public-space Sexual Harassment (PSH) of Women: Evidence from India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan" tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

We used to have a division of labour - we do value, you do wealth sort of thing (reminds me of a Soul Coughing song …) Then we put our heads together. We struggled to agree on things but eventually did - so you should read this stuff (-;
