"Spéculation / Réaction" @ Multitudes 101 www.multitudes.net/category/l-e...

SF suprémaciste, utopies anarcho-capitalistes, théories de la conspiration libertariennes : que faire quand l'extrême-droite s'approprie les genres spéculatifs? C'est la question que Boris Le Roy et moi-même explorons dans le numéro de Multitudes avec notre dossier "Spéculation/réaction"...

Glad to have contributed to the 2026 "State of Power" of Transnational Institute with an interview on "Follow the money: The business interests behind the far-right"! 👇

Intéressant que les fortunes de la tech qui cherchent à "vaincre la mort" comme s'il s'agissait d'une idéologie à combattre se nomment entre eux les "Vitalistes", une ontologie chérie du fascisme qui pense la vitesse et la jeunesse comme hygiène du monde. www.technologyreview.com/2026/01/29/1...

Imagine if the hype was around the Greens' rise rather than Reform Imagine if instead of putting far-right issues on the agenda, mainstream parties talked about hope, justice, redistribution, public services etc That would put real change on the table and that's why Reform is a safer bet for them

China has the largest installed wind capacity in the world.

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it. We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics. What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

'In total, the 20 universities spent £8.3 million on remuneration for their vice-chancellors. The accounts also reveal they collectively let go almost 7,000 staff in the same year – costing £124.6 million in compensation for loss of office.'

"J'ai dit au chef de la France: 'Je suis désolé mais tu vas devoir tripler le prix des médicaments.' 'Non, non, non, je ne ferai pas ça!' 'Oh si, je t'assure que tu vas le faire.'" Ainsi Donald Trump racontait-il lors d'un meeting son échange récent avec Emmanuel Macron...

Compelling EU states to pay more for US drugs, forcing EU firms to lower drug prices in the US. In our column w/ @susigeiger.bsky.social for @theguardian.com, we show how Trump wants Europeans to pay for sky-high pharma profits, in a context where US citizens can't accept more extortionate prices...

America is a rogue and malevolent state and global bad actor

And there ya have it… Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

In the 1980s, a monster was assembled in the pharmaceutical world that pitted patients' interests against those of pharmaceutical investors: the neoliberal pharma model. In PEAK PHARMA w/ @susigeiger.bsky.social, out today @academic.oup.com, we show that this monster is entering a crucial phase...

THE ASSET CLASS, my first book, will be published by @wnbooks.bsky.social on 9 April 2026. It’s a narrative investigation of private equity, a secretive and relentlessly destructive wing of finance that penetrates almost every aspect of our lives - and it’s available to pre-order now!

Many businesses have recently come out for the French far-right, from fossil and media billionaire Vincent Bolloré (left pic) to farmers' lobby Coordination rurale (right pic). If you want to know more on businesses and the French far-right, attend my talk next week in Sciences Po (and remote) 👇 👇

Un vent eugéniste souffle fort sur l’Assemblée nationale, et c’est douloureux de voir des députés de gauche souscrire au principe du « laisser mourir » les moins bien lotis 😣

Someone at a Russell Group university was moved to almost-poetry by their Faculty Meeting… Can anyone do better?

My new article with @econsocjournal.bsky.social on Gary Becker's analyses on suicide is out! I use Becker's assertion that ‘Most (if not all!) deaths are to some extent suicides’ to reflect on how the late Chicago School framed death and mortality as a choice, thus normalising mortality inequality

Based on our workshop on the Economic Project of the Far Right @vladimirbortun.bsky.social, @theobourgeron.bsky.social and myself are editing a special issue in Emancipations; we are seeking additional contributions; you can find the call for papers here: scholarsjunction.msstate.edu/emancipation...

Lorsque Thibaut Poirot a rédigé ces posts, beaucoup ont cherché à en savoir plus ainsi que l'identité de l'historien concerné.

Aujourd’hui @lemonde.fr publie l’interview d’un homme qui a été mon directeur de thèse. Cet homme a été sanctionné pour plusieurs faits de harcèlement moral. Un homme qui parle « déni de responsabilité » applaudi par @edwyplenel.bsky.social et d’autres, pendant que ces faits sont tus.

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?

Mince, Michel Callon est mort, il était l'autre grand nom des STS françaises, avec Bruno Latour, bien sûr, avec lequel il a beaucoup écrit et collaboré, donnant naissance notamment à l'ANT. Les coquilles Saint-Jacques ne seront pas les seules à pleurer sa disparition 😢
