📺🌎 COMING SOON: The Break Down with Adrienne Buller

With Common Wealth, we’re launching a new independent media project dedicated to exploring capitalism, climate crisis, and ecological breakdown.

this reminds me of the time I presented research & a senior figure dispensed the feedback that I needed to 'drop the faux humility'

you can't win: confident in your research? that's arrogant! nervous? that's meek. awkward or unsure? faux humility! passionate? that's fast-talking

How might we build a new common sense for health and our economy?

In this open-access article, Dave A. Chokshi, MD, Darrick Hamilton, and I lay out why a 'political economy' lens is critical in the face of persistent inequities in health and stagnating life expectancy

Chuffed that the first review of my book with Thomas Stubbs is by a scholar I admire *and* so positive!

My review of A Thousand Cuts by Alexandros Kentikelenis & Thomas Stubbs is now out International Affairs!

'It should serve as inspiration both for those researching the financial institutions that make our world & for the policymakers & activists who wish to transform them.' academic.oup.com/ia/article/100…

Today, I have the privilege of presenting my work on the relationships between fossil fuels and synthetic materials and what they imply for renewable energy transitions.

It is happening in two hours, and it is possible to join online.

‘Good theories are relevant abstractions, and relevance alters as history moves on’

(Victoria Chick, Macroeconomics After Keynes, 1983)

The polycrisis is prefigured in Arrighi’s theory of hegemonic transition. Systemic cycles of accumulation culminate in chaos as conflict escalates & new & old rules compete.

Our new open access paper links the accumulation process & chaos using a logistic map. 🧶

THE BIG CON at Tirana Airport in Albania! 🤩 Mariana Mazzucato

Also feat Grace Blakeley's Vulture Capitalism 📕

Thanks to my mum's friend for the picture

Striking parallels between the Berlin and Columbia crackdowns: Shockingly authoritarian, bizarrely disproportionate and clearly aimed at spreading fear, possibly not legal, enacted at high cost to the respective institutions/governments. Real home front fighting vibes.

“Extractivism is the modality through which capitalism is lived in the periphery.”
