In Iran, resisting the Pahlavist authoritarian right, while refusing imperialist solutions, leaves only a narrow space for any meaningful alternative. www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

A sharp, beautifully written piece by @oliviapaschal.com on Walmart’s “nostalgic capitalism” and the anarcho-capitalist conjuncture. www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

have a piece in @nplusonemag.com today trying to puzzle out where walmart sits in the new world order, also about how weird its new corporate campus is. www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

Walmart seems adrift: once at the forefront of changes in global capitalism and now something of a dinosaur figuring out how to respond, economically and politically, to them. www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/... I think anyone who worked on a UC dissertation can identify. A great memoir.

His favorite James book, he offered, was The Ambassadors. As people filed past us to take seats for the lecture, he animatedly described the plot in detail. “That happened to me,” John said. www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

Going back to this great piece by Jack Norton and Judah Schept in N + 1 on ICE expansion and US carceral architecture: www.nplusonemag.com/issue-51/pol... "ICE is of course a worthy target for resistance. It is a federal law enforcement agency that increasingly resembles a secret police force

"I asked if he’d been reading the Financial Times. This opened the floodgates for a speech about how no one here, at UCLA, in any department, is really Keynesian, how China holds the reins to the world’s economy, how Germany has no fiscal policy and doesn’t do anything for other EU nation states"

A powerful and depressing analysis of the powers at play in Iran and the prospects for the future (also depressing) www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

In 2019, the late Asad Haider wrote about Martin Luther King, Jr. “In the declaration of solidarity across every border, he offered a vision of freedom that extends to all.” www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

A brilliant analysis of how sanctions have transformed the Iranian government into a Chicago School regime of austerity that benefits those attached to the regime, creates precarious labour, and rolls back all the redistributive and social measures of the past: www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

If you’re interested in this phenomenon you gotta read this article www.nplusonemag.com/issue-49/ess...

For all his personal flaws and professional failings, perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the Eric Adams mayoralty is that, for better and for worse, the status remained quo. www.nplusonemag.com/issue-52/pol...

At n+1, Justin Taylor is typically excellent on the oeuvre of Katherine Dunn--which, with the inclusion of some posthumously published work, is much more than that one famous book www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

“Dunn’s interest in eros, filth, queerness, and misanthropy suggest her as an unlikely fellow traveler of Kathy Acker, who was roughly her age and started publishing around the same time.” www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

i liked this book review, and i think sophie lewis grasps a good insight of what feminism has been and is www.nplusonemag.com/issue-52/rev...

I wrote about @reproutopia.bsky.social's excellent book "Enemy Feminisms: Terfs, Policewomen, and Girlbosses Against Liberation" for the new @nplusonemag.com

For all his peculiarity, Eric Adams was also a continuity, a return to a primordial style of petty corruption in politics. www.nplusonemag.com/issue-52/pol...

“Given the history of intrafeminist conflict, Lewis suggests, it’s time we gave up the comforting myth that feminism is always and everywhere a force for good.” In n+1’s Winter 2026 issue: coeditor @dtortorici.bsky.social on Sophie Lewis’s ENEMY FEMINISMS. www.nplusonemag.com/issue-52/rev...
