If you’re around Cambridge this Friday, join @manuelaboatca.bsky.social and I on our panel on „Rethinking Europe”: www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/48642/

La cooperación es imprescindible. No hace falta ser un experto en demoscopia para ver la irracionalidad de tantas candidaturas en un terreno electoral ya de por sí complicado para la izquierda. Si no es posible a nivel formal, que sea informal y desligado de estrategias de despachos en Madrid.

Algo va mal en Europa. Intentamos hablar el lenguaje del poder y terminamos con el SMS de Mark Rutte. Es un momento de incapacidad discursiva sin precedentes. Escribo sobre Tony Judt, la cumbre de la OTAN y qué alternativas debe considerar la UE: de-siria-a-soria.ghost.io/como-hablar-...

Via Martin Wolf, here is what happens when populists take control. on.ft.com/47fVDsb Maybe the UK was pitched exactly onto this curve. We got Brexit and Johnson, and it dropped our GDP by 4% relative to not doing that. Elect another populist government in 2029, and maybe we'll get the next 6%

We wrote about the US ruling class taking the reins to manage its own decline. What do the Trumpist factions of capital want? Can that be squared with the interests of the MAGA base? Capable state managers could potentially thread the needle, but that's all gone. With @cedricdurand.bsky.social.

De la doctrine néolibérale au désenchantement populiste. Depuis les années 1990, le mécontentement populaire face aux performances des gouvernements a trouvé son expression dans un rejet des partis en place et un soutien croissant aux insurgés populistes:. politicsrights.com/fr/comment-n...

This book revisits the embrace of liberal capitalism in post-communist Eastern Europe to show that recent concerns about the rise of populist movements obfuscate the limits and the contradictions inherent in the concept. 📚Contribution: Chapter 2: #EUenlargement www.routledge.com/Velvet-Capit...

Read @tudzarovska.bsky.social latest article The rise of technocratic politics in the EU: the legacies of neoliberalism link.springer.com/article/10.1... #EUeconomicgovernance #Neoliberalism #EUcrisis #Pandemic #Statetransformation

Karl Polanyi rightly saw the subordination of the human or social purposes of governance to the logic of an impersonal market mechanism as the deepest flaw in market liberalisation (Polanyi 2001, p. 76). More in: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I submit that the single most important book of social science in modern history is Karl Polanyi's The Great Transformation. Want to know what the hell is happening in the 2020s? Read Polanyi on the 1920s.

I suscribe to this view 100% (see also lwbooks.co.uk/product/for-...)

The European Parliament has voted to strip two MEPs from Poland’s national-conservative opposition PiS party of legal immunity. They face charges in their homeland of not complying with a ban on holding public office, a crime that carries a potential prison sentence.

LE PEN BANNED FROM OFFICE FOR FIVE YEARS www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

Some observations about the Marine Le Pen verdict: 1) WOW. They really went for it: prison term (w/electronic tag) and 5 years of ineligibility. That's almost exactly what the prosecutors asked for, so she's seriously guilty. 2) Will this halt the progress of the far-right in France? No. But... 1/
