Heaven help me, I am a Podcaster now. I recently talked to @katharinapistor.bsky.social about capitalist law and its discontents (with a particular eye toward the law’s impact on labor and worker organizing) for @cunyslu.bsky.social’s Reinventing Solidarity podcast: soundcloud.com/cunyslu/epis...

This year I made two big changes to my graduate International Political Economy syllabus: 1) I leaned in to money and capital as organizing themes, and 2) I assigned (nearly) all books. Here's our reading list, ft. Karl Polanyi, Benjamin Cohen, @stefeich.bsky.social, Ngaire Woods, J.C. Sharman ...

It was great talking to you!

One might think that central banks would jump at the opportunity finally to create a money system that serves the people rather than the banks. @katharinapistor.bsky.social explains why they haven't. bit.ly/4poyYSE

»Ein solch feudalistisches Geldverhältnis halte ich für unvereinbar mit den Grundwerten einer demokratischen Ordnung.« @katharinapistor.bsky.social im Interview mit Stephan Kaufmann (@nd-aktuell.de) über die Geldverfassung der Gegenwart (Adorno-Vorlesungen 2025). www.nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1195...

On the blog, Prof Neil Buchanan recounts how faculty disempowerment in Florida laid the groundwork for the broader assault on academic freedom and indeed higher education, first in the Sunshine State's war on woke, and then nationwide. 👇

Come join us this evening @nyhistory.bsky.social for a lost history of the 1920s -- and the paths that got us through eerily similar democratic crisis a century ago. With the great David Blight, 6:30 pm at 77th & CPW. @simonandschuster.bsky.social

Thanks for posting this

Important reminder that history is not deterministic. There is no one-way road to fascism, but neither one out of it. There is hope in the plurality of (well-funded) resistance. What gave me pause, however, was the role of media then and now.

At Balkinization, @katharinapistor.bsky.social and David Pozen argue that if Columbia is going to review its University Senate, the same scrutiny should be applied to the more powerful, less democratic components of Columbia’s governance regime.

Es ist im Grunde schon eine Festlegung in der Sache. Nach dem Grundgesetz sind verfassungswidrige Parteien keine Konkurrenten. Wer sie Konkurrenten nennt, beantwortet damit für sich die Frage der Verfassungsfeindlichkeit
