Glad to hear it Julia!
I'm excited to announce a cfa for Roadsides' fall issue on 'Markets as Infrastructures.' Together with Hasan H. Karrar we edit this issue and we look forward to receiving abstracts from far and wide, incl. #economicanthropology #politicaleconomy #decolonialstudies www.roadsides.net/collections/...
Thanks Chris!
For the forum on political economy, Lars Cornelissen answers Samuel Moyn’s call to conceptualize the social side of ideology by turning to Stuart Hall’s idea of ideology as “practical reason,” examining the material networks that led neoliberalism further rightward.
@lcornelissen.bsky.social
In Neoliberalism and Race, @lcornelissen.bsky.social argues that race is the organising principle of neoliberalism. He shows that racial motifs have always shaped neoliberal thought—and cannot be removed without rendering it incoherent.

The paper revisits the main argument of my book, that neoliberalism is constitutively racialised, and applies this idea to the way Structural Adjustment Programs were ideologically justified in the early 1980s
I have a new paper out in @ripejournal.bsky.social:
From colonial economics to structural adjustment: race, neoliberal ideology, and pernicious financial inclusion
It's Open Access!

Great reporting:
"In total, the IEA accepted £479,992 from oil and gas firms, with the majority (£357,063) coming from 1991 onwards. These fossil fuel giants were among the biggest corporate contributors to the IEA during the period, according to DeSmog’s analysis."

I really enjoyed recording this podcast on my new book, Neoliberalism and Race, with Morteza Hajizadeh

Yes, it definitely could! Let me know if you decide to look into it further, I'd be very interested in your findings
Nice one Benjamin! I'd be curious to know what you've come across. I never took this further than looking into the links between Pirie and Serebriakoff so would be interested to know if there are further links between Mensa and the ISA as well
Congrats Carla! So excited to see this out!
Thanks Viktoria! Hope you enjoy it!

Neoliberalism and Race will be coming out mid-October with @stanfordpress.bsky.social
Turns out the men who founded the Adam Smith Institute held some pretty controversial views on race, IQ, and segregation.

At no time in our history has the need for higher education been greater: at no time has the demand been more insistent, or the requirements more exacting. The scope and content of many aspects of scientific learning has more than doubled in the course of a generation; and with the growth of science a corresponding efficacy in the processes of general and humane education has become essential. The University of Edinburgh, conscious of the immensity and responsibility of its task, is painfully aware that its physical assets, in the shape of laboratories, classrooms, ancillary accommodation, and the necessary equipment, are inadequate and out of date. These things cost money. Though much will be provided from Government sources, the University itself will have to meet the cost of a substantial part of its building programme, which, over the next few years, will involve the expenditure of many millions of pounds. To this end it is making an Appeal to all its graduates and friends, and has aiready raised more than £363,000. Still more is required if our young men and women are to have the education they desire and deserve. All contributions will be most gratefully acknowledged, and full information on the University's needs and plans, with advice on methods of contributing, will gladly be sent on application to the Secretary to the University, Old College, South Bridge, Edinburgh, 8
(2/3) ... For reasons I haven't been able to reconstruct, the first five or so volumes of the MQ sported on its back cover an advertisement from the University of Edinburgh asking alumni to donate money towards the upkeep of the uni's estate and facilities.
(1/3) Apropos of the University of Edinburgh's report on its historical relations to slavery, colonialism, and race science:
For the first years of its existence, The Mankind Quarterly was published and printed in Edinburgh, which is where its editor, the intellectual fraud Robert Gayre, lived...
"Snowdon’s is a knee-jerk reflex calculated to protect the neoliberal project and some of its most precious philosophers from what he perceives to be a smear campaign."
