As part of the JHI Blog forum on political economy, Marie Louise Krogh examines Hegel's rare reflections on the 19th century international coffee industry as an entry point into the theoretical stakes of political economy in the midst of European imperialism.

My pedagogy piece (ending with Kafka btw) is officially out, we’ve just had a lively discussion of the book and the project in Bayreuth www.elgaronline.com/edcollchap/b...

Bravo, @dgindis.bsky.social and Cecilia Lanata-Briones! warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/econ...

His previous book on Rimbaud was fine

Venice was fantastic, even too intensive at times. New people, incredibly smart and insightful, a vibrant, ironic, beautiful collective intelligence. Off to the next conference (and almost final for this year) -- INEM meeting at Bayreuth. www.phil.uni-bayreuth.de/en/events/Wo...

Bravo! (I learned a lot from Dorfman's history of linear optimization when writing on Kantorovich)

“It will take decades to recover from this, if we ever do.” America’s cancer research system, which has helped save millions of lives and is in one of its most productive moments, is under threat by the Trump administration.

And a paper by @ivanboldyrev.bsky.social on 'A Bigger Game: Criticizing Market Design Models' #ENPOSS2025

UK trip was fantastic — thanks to colleagues and friends who hosted me and shared so many meaningful conversations. Next stop: Venice for the ENPOSS Conference at Ca’ Foscari (Sept 10–12). I’ll be giving a talk on some methodological disagreements in market design. enposs.eu

Heya. I got a bit bored by people asking me how to navigate away from the cycles of exhaustion and exploitation that the academia seems exceptionally well inclined to produce. So I decided to run a workshop on it. An antiwork-antishop, in effect. Sign up below. janabacevic.net/against-acad...

My review of Verena Halsmeyer's unique book-length history of the Solow growth-model is online. It is a great look at modelling in economics, the particular MIT-style of modeling, as well as a great case-study of how academic and policy prestige come about.

In this cool new JEM paper, Yam Mayaan rigorously documents something that several of us have been teaching for years, aka that Arrow's general equilibrium theory is meant as a normative ideal - a research tool to investigate how markets do not self-regulate: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Any g o o d discussions of degrowth in relation to Ricardian 'stationary state'? I remember Duncan Foley's Schumpeter lectures Unholy Trinity, but it is a bit old.

Here is another important announcement pertaining to my philosophical self. Together with Sebastian Stein and Josh Wretzel, I will be co-editing Hegel Bulletin, a great international journal devoted to Hegel and German idealism.

After quite some time in preparation, here is the special issue of the JEM I co-edited with Esther-Mirjam Sent on economists and policy, with cases from macro, development, market design, and behavioral econ. www.tandfonline.com/toc/rjec20/3...

I wrote a short review of Francesco Campana's fine book 'The End of Literature, Hegel, and the Contemporary Novel', the review is now out in Hegel-Studien meiner.de/fmv_de/hegel...

Together with his family, his cherished colleagues, many friends, admiring readers, and grateful students, we mourn the loss of Michel Callon, who passed away on July 28th. He was one of the intellectual giants of our era. See this insightful interview sociologica.unibo.it/article/view...

[FROM THE ARCHIVES] Arrow reflects on his lifetime research program in the wake of the Great Financial Crisis: "50 years ago, I thought I explained that general equilibrium theory could handle uncertainty. I now understand why I was wrong: it has to do with the distribution of information...

The list of talks at this year's THETS conference is available, looks awesome! And I hope that other Warwick people who are interested in the topic -- like @hyoyoonkang.bsky.social , @yuvalmillo.bsky.social , and Matthew Watson -- will be there as well thets.org.uk/2025-annual-...

The new paper co-authored with @emsent.bsky.social just dropped! Check it out, it’s the intro to the forthcoming special issue of the JEM, all of the papers are already available, I’ll post sth more about it when it officially appears. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

#hes2025 I always thought that my intellectual history pursuits were neatly divided between continental philosophy and 20th-century mathematical econ. It's ironic that someone like me—who believes that everything is connected to everything—could still hold onto the possibility of such a separation

Interesting threads about 'beliefs' in intellectual history. Oftentimes, in a half-conscious gesture of identification while commenting on some conference talks I invoked the revealed preferences argument: We might never know what the agents think/believe, but we might at least trace what they do
