I reviewed @JKandiyali's terrific new book for Jacobin. As I hope the review communicates, I strongly recommend it to anyone interested in Marx, the politics of work, political and social philosophy, etc!

[Jacobin @jacobin]

In his new book, “Flourishing Together: Karl Marx’s Vision of the Good Society,” philosopher Jan Kandiyali argues that Marx had a rich and coherent vision of the good society and that recovering it matters for socialist politics today. https://t.co/3HEt5gaxnv

[Jan Kandiyali @JKandiyali]

Many thanks to @CallumZMacRae for this very generous review of my book in Jacobin.

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Karl Marx dismissed speculation about a future socialist society as “writing recipes for the cookshops of the future.”

A closer reading suggests he had a rich vision of the good life, based in the idea that people flourish by meeting each other’s needs. https://t.co/3HEt5gb5d3

[Jacobin @jacobin]

In his new book, “Flourishing Together: Karl Marx’s Vision of the Good Society,” philosopher Jan Kandiyali argues that Marx had a rich and coherent vision of the good society and that recovering it matters for socialist politics today. https://t.co/3HEt5gaxnv

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Against both postwork politics and universal basic income proponents, Jan Kandiyali argues for an interpretation of Karl Marx as holding that meaningful, mutually beneficial work is not a burden to be escaped but central to what it means to live well. https://t.co/3HEt5gaxnv

Bonus challenge!: there are 14 years separating this paper from Stanczyk's. Does anyone know of a longer gap between response paper and original article in philosophy?

[Callum Zavos MacRae @CallumZMacRae]

Thrilled to have this new paper—"Towards A Rawlsian Theory of Productive Justice"—out in Free & Equal (responding to Stanczyk's terrific 2012 paper "Productive Justice"): https://t.co/VFfrLWGxGb.

[Callum Zavos MacRae @CallumZMacRae]

Stanczyk argues that when it comes to productive justice, Rawlsianism issues incoherent judgments. I argue that this rests on a misunderstanding of Rawls. If we get Rawls's theory right, it's actually a surprisingly promising framework for guidance wrt productive justice.

Very pleased to have this piece out with the fab @notesfrompoland, on the remarkable growth of participatory budgeting in contemporary Poland.

[Notes from Poland 🇵🇱 @notesfrompoland]

Poland has become a global leader in participatory budgeting, through which local residents decide how some public money is spent

Over half of all such schemes in Europe are found in Poland, and they are quietly transforming its cities, towns and villages https://t.co/FhxLPBqocy

[Martin O'Neill @martin_oneill]

I've decided to leave the Labour Party, after over 31 years of membership.

Here are a few thoughts on why I've come to this conclusion, which may be of interest to others who find themselves rethinking their own political attachments and affiliations.
