Another though from a friend: Haden/Motian/Allen, Etudes
Now up on SSRN: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
Very much a work in progress. I'm already planning a big round of revisions--so please don't hesitate to reach out with questions or comments!
Thread and/or blog post to come
If I had the budget, I'd only wear these this summer

Maybe I should just embrace the point of the article being explaining the emerging instability, which requires first establishing stabilization as a background condition
The trouble is that the first argument of the article is that student loans STABILIZED federal politics of higher education finance and teasing out how they did so. And that sets up the turn to how their mechanisms of stabilization turned against themselves.
A bit too bloggy, methinks
That old Mos Def line has bee floating around in my head lately:
"Same press kickin dirt on Michael's name//showing Woody and Soon-Yi at the playoff game."
Which title is better for an article about how student debt made stable higher education policy possible by bridging political disagreements & then undermined its own stabilizing functions over time?
Student Debt and (De)Stablization of Higher Education
The Coalitional Qualities of Student Debt
Since you've liked this post, @ssrn.bsky.social, can you please @approvemypaper.bsky.social?
Probably better to put it in a letter to the Committee?
Surprisingly difficult question

The 80s are a weird decade for jazz. Almost no records that really stick for me. Even for all of these players, I think their best stuff is before and after (the Standards Trio notwithstanding)

Right, but you're just citing to be loyal to the quote or you agree with the ratio with respect to legal scholarship?
Sorry, 90% of legal scholarship is crap? Mediocre, maybe, but crap?
I don't think I'd put it that low. One of the valuable things about legal scholarship is how well it orients you toward a question and gives you a list of further readings. It can be read modularly.
I do think that almost every article could be significantly shorter.
There are a fair amount of such scholarly societies, some of which have journals, more of which would surely have them if those journals became more valued. I hypothesize that the main obstacle is your third step: developing practices of recognition. Maybe it will happen gradually?
What would this actually require? There are peer reviewed journals, which are taken seriously in some subdisciplines. But there are obviously not enough. And it seems like the main obstacle is actually a change in norms about how to evaluate placements
I mean "MMT is fake" is overly aggressive and also wrong.
But anyway my point in QT-ing was not that the left shouldn't favor broad-based tax increases but that it should be cautious about treating social provision as a simple function of taxes or taxpayers
I don't know if it was going to be a reply to me, but this wouldn't have felt overly aggressive. I agree with your first sentence, which does not imply any contradiction with MMT (depending on the mechanisms imagined by "redirecting productive forces").
One might say: doesn’t qualify as a university without baseline academic freedom, including baseline faculty governance. Tho if that autonomy right should extent to k-12, then maybe not
Very sad to see us revert back to “taxes fund spending” and “one must pay taxes to contribute to social investment” discourse
(the cheeky response would be: courts should uniformly strike down admin overruling of faculty decisions that are properly within faculties' domain on the grounds of per se violation of that prong of academic freedom)
