I go through these questions in the paper, reviewing the literature about the intersections between businesses and the far-right. The article figures in the excellent company of @philiproscoe.bsky.social 's "Markets after neoliberalism". Find my paper below: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Just published open access @jcultecon.bsky.social. On the aestheticisation of money in hip-hop; a cultural logic since generalised. Its also a theorisation of mediations of political economy and cultural form operating across scales of time and space www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

My new paper on "Economic sociology and the far-right" is out in the @jcultecon.bsky.social ! How do businesses promote the far-right? How does the far-right transform accumulation regimes? How is the new reactionary, post-neoliberal regime embedded in tools of surveillance and control?

I'd add that @jcultecon.bsky.social is open to comment pieces & analyses of the present conjuncture of this kind, under the excellent stewardship of @busedoyu.bsky.social. There's no "party line", other than a need to be in (maybe critical) dialogue with the kind of thinking the journal foregrounds.

"the rise of reactionary politics is an epochal trend that reshapes markets and capitalist systems in depth" @theobourgeron.bsky.social in @jcultecon.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

In our last editorial we imagined how bad academic publishing might get, and hopefully how it might come out better www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The black box of academic publishing is dark inside indeed - and I've not even mentioned Manucript Central yet - but it also contains other academics doing their best as editors to steward your work with care and respect.

Editors are trying their best to maintain the scholarly infrastructures of knowledge exchange. It's not easy or feasible for most to set up open access elsewhere. Our journals, whatever their myriad faults, have helped sustain fields over years and decades.

Peer reviewers are exhausted. It's common to spend *months* inviting reviewers, getting refusals, inviting more, maybe 12 or more, then 2 agree but 1 doesn't complete, so you go again. That's why your paper is in limbo. I'm very sorry, it's awful, but it's also an untenable academic labour issue.

And now with open access on our blog www.journalofculturaleconomy.org/a-sociology-...

Happy to see this article of mine published. Based on research in Istanbul’s recycling sector, the article looks at how Turkish scrap dealers accuse migrant waste pickers of taking recyclable waste without engaging in real trade, portraying them as economically illegitimate and morally suspect.
