I’ve been off social media a while and I can’t come back without mentioning the genocide in Gaza, which is more devastating each day. So please also read Tareq Baconi in the same issue www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

I tried here to capture one part of its indispensable story and to convey Cooper’s crucial lesson: that fiscal politics is always also moral politics, and that histories of finance should also attend to struggles over the organisation of social relations

Counterrevolution’s history of struggles over public finance goes further than anything I’ve read to explaining how things have got as bad as they are. Like Cooper’s Life as Surplus and Family Values, it will change how you think

thanks Anthony. i'm familiar with what I think of - no offence intended :) - as the "historical" contributions, like HW's. I was more wondering about recent work, but I think I was conflating a piece of Martin's and Joe Guinan's... but thank you

I’m excited to reiterate the classic political dilemmas of exilic communities on here. Do we attempt to replicate the lost community? Engage in revanchism? Hybridize our traditions with the new environments where we find ourselves?
