“One of the things most problematic about using the market to coordinate is that oftentimes it's only looking at the immediate period.” Moments of crisis fail to build lasting capacity when the response is left to the market. What's the alternative? 🔗👇 www.common-wealth.org/green-planni...

I have a new article out about US-China bloc formation, climate change, and war

Read the fourth essay in a new geopolitics series from @transitionsec.bsky.social—a new research center cofounded with @cmmonwealth.bsky.social—on what the US-China conflict means for the world economy.

Another outstanding contribution to our series on unsettling geopolitics in an era of climate crisis and warmaking. @mona-ali.bsky.social goes global and granular to tease out the causes and consquences of weaponizing trade and the potentials of multipolarity.

🚨Read the latest in @transitionsec.bsky.social's geopolitics series — @mona-ali.bsky.social on the transformation of US trade policy and its effects on the world economy. 🚨

The US and China have agreed to a one-year truce in their trade war. What lies behind this conflict and what does it mean for the world economy? Read @mona-ali.bsky.social on Washington’s assault on global trade and the alliances emerging in response. transitionsecurity.org/rebalancing-...

ICYMI, good stuff from the folks at @cmmonwealth.bsky.social.

🚨 NEW: Read @tobitac.bsky.social “Cold War on a Warming World” for sharp analysis of China’s economic development, its clean energy dominance and why Washington’s foreign policy response is a threat to global decarbonisation. 🔗👇 transitionsecurity.org/cold-war-war...

The Renters' Rights Act became law last week - the biggest change to private renting in a generation. Will it "transform the experience of private renting", like the government says? This week's New Economy Brief takes a closer look: neweconomybrief.net/the-digest/a...

“It is very easy to forget that society has massively changed in the past, and it can massively change again.” The dual crises of climate breakdown and the growing unaffordability of essentials require a new approach. We must plan for our future. This is how.

“A major focus for Common Wealth is building out a lefty response to the affordability crisis—one that isn’t just recapitulating the price-lowering strategy of neoliberalism.” Our newly-launched Green Planning Commission covered in The Prospect 👇 🖊️ @ryanlcooper.com prospect.org/2025/10/31/h...

So thrilled to be a part of the Green Planning Commission with so many smart progressive thinkers! I can't wait to support @cmmonwealth.bsky.social in coordinating the future of climate policy. Excited to bring progressive public finance to bear on our energy and affordability crises 😎☀️

What if we invested in real security: good jobs, national defence, green industry, thriving communities? Watch the full video on the Govan & Scotstoun shipyards & explore an interactive timeline of historic examples of industrial conversion below. 👇 transitionsecurity.org/green-clydes...

@cmmonwealth.bsky.social's Green Planning Commission launches today, focused on countering the failure of markets to address the twin crises of climate + affordability. I'm honoured to be one of its Commissioners. Check it out and follow their work! www.common-wealth.org/publications...

Really interesting thinking from the UK about how to democratise planning. The power of very large corporations is going to be, in many cases, a big obstacle to these things happening. So it's good to see that this agenda includes more democratic models of the firm, and international cooperation.

An excellent video and thread from @transitionsec.bsky.social on potential defence diversification opportunities that moves our economy away from militarism and lays the groundwork for a future based on real security.

“Reliance on military contracts to manage the economy will bring an insecure future: the military industry will create few jobs while investments in people’s everyday wellbeing are cut.” Khem Rogaly quoted in @scotnational.bsky.social www.thenational.scot/news/2556479...

Industrial conversion has happened before, and it can happen again.   Military industrial sites are directed by public investment and can be used to make more than just military equipment.   Watch our new video and explore the interactive timeline below.   transitionsecurity.org/green-clydes...

Our interactive timeline showcasing historic instances of industrial conversion in the UK, US and continental Europe.

We pay billions every year to expand the military industry, yet jobs vanish & insecurity grows.   We could invest in real security: good jobs, green industry, thriving communities.   Our video investigates alternative futures for the military industry via the Clyde shipyards.

Are side hustles bad for you? Amelia Horgan spoke to BBC Radio 5 on the problem with side hustles and the reasons we need them in the first place.
