Possibly the best way to phish academics would be to just send them email that looks like a request to review an article and embed your malware in the "decline to review" link

Good piece by Palma Polyak. In a sense she is illustrating the global version of the Kalecki Paradox, or what Fed chairman Marriner Eccles explained in the 1930s: without rising consumption you cannot justify rising production, and without rising wages you cannot sustain rising consumption.

Heartbreaking. And a wake-up call. It is no longer about being difficult to find a way to sustain yourself through your work online. It is no longer sustainable to keep a website up now. Axel has done so much for the web and all of us. Buy one of his books if you can. We've learned so much from him.
