Eugenic ideas and scientific racism spread as public education and communication efforts are shut down…
Looks like two sides of the same coin (given we think of human, honest, and responsible agents of public communication).
Very pedagogic comment on statistical differences between cross section and longitudinal data regarding aging as measured by brain scans. Highly relevant also for applied microeconomics, stressing important differences between differences between different people and the development within people.

Il faut lire l'ouvrage de @manongarcia.bsky.social surtout (mais pas seulement) quand on pratique le pénal au quotidien, il y a un avant et un après.

hätte nicht gedacht, dass wir an einen punkt kommen, an dem dt journos dafür bezahlt werden, zu recherchieren, ob gesunde kinder ausgehungert werden o ob es "nur" vorerkrankte sind.keine ahnung,an welchem punkt der "debatte" wir da sind. für mich hat das etwas vom ende jeglicher würde&zivilisation.

Today is International #DayOfPoliticalPrisoners: the EU always lectures other states about political prisoners - but what else should we call the thousands sentenced to decades in EU prisons simply for daring to search for safety, a better life, explore the world? 1/2
1/ There have been some comparisons between Trumpism and the Vichy regime (see this paper by @joolia.bsky.social : www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...). Having worked on Vichy's "scientific" policies, I think there are indeed ideological similarities worth exploring. 🧵

There couldn't be a better moment for scholars to pick this up and run with it.
I thank @economicsethics.Bsky.social for recommending Landa’s work and Landa’s 2009 book that was published also in German. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Also in the current context of fashism the work of the historian Ishay Landa is very interesting on individualization in liberalism and in fascism. Very extensive study on the links between fascism and classic liberalism.
This focus on the role of individualisation I have not seen a lot so far in the history of economics. But as economists have often been active fore speakers for certain types of individualization, I find their book super inspiring. (For example the focus on incentives for individual responsibility)
… (public administrations, public discourse, etc…) render its constituant people as “individuals”. On top of that there their book links to many connected works of interest to economists in the sociology and philosophy literature (often in German).
Not only do Amlinger and Nachtwey provide a neat introduction to some of the thinkers of the Frankfurt school of Critical theory (Erich Fromm, Herbert Marcuse, and others), it also illustrates that it matters to think about how societies …
#historyofrecenteconomics : I highly recommend this book on how economic liberalism has shaped people to become authoritarian libertarians by sociologists @camlinger.bsky.social and @onachtwey.bsky.social .
Faschismus ist ein Problem der Mitte der Gesellschaft, wie @fschutzbach.bsky.social hier beschreibt. 💯 Für alle die sich lost fühlen zwischen den aktuellen Ereignissen in den USA, Deutschland, Frankreich, etc. hat sie auch einige konkrete Ideen, wie wir aktiv werden und uns solidarisieren können. ✊🏻
Wenn die Anträge der CDU/CSU morgen angenommen werden, wird sich mein Rechtsstatus und der vieler Menschen in diesem Land ändern. Meine deutsche Staatszugehörigkeit wird dann effektiv weniger wert sein, weil ich nicht ethnisch deutsch bin. Ich bin dann rechtlich nicht mehr gleichgestellt. WTF.
Wenn Rechte den Islam zum Feindbild deklarieren, geht es ihnen nur vermeintlich um Religion. Dass hinter dem Islamverständnis der Rechten alte Argumente der kolonialen Rassentheorie stecken, ist in der Debatte um den Anschlag in Magdeburg deutlich geworden.
