Is it fair to assume that some populations are selfish while others prosocial?

This is the question that I posed to behavioral economics in a new transdisciplinary journal, @GlobalPerspJnl

The debt crisis, the housing crisis, the climate crisis and other unmanageable spirals of financialized capitalism explained by Timothy Mitchell @Critical_Times_ through an original Foucauldian concept. Impressive.

El Gobierno de España condena la pena de muerte contra palestinos que acaba de aprobar el parlamento de Israel. Se trata de una medida asimétrica que no se aplicaría a los israelíes que cometieran los mismos delitos.

Mismo crimen, distinta pena.

Eso no es justicia. Es un paso más hacia el apartheid.

El mundo no puede callar.

An extremely clear defence of why market societies should have a "mixed economy" (investment not being as predominantly guided by capitalist decision-making):

The most lucid and unambiguous account that I've read @Foucault_News of what Foucault denounced as the power of "normalization," bringing out the best of critical theory and analytic philosophy together:

A very timely (open-access) article on the philosophical justification for the right to protest despite the burdens of political contestation:

What a bold call for a seriously open-minded debate in political theory pushing beyond the simplistic "critical" vs "liberal" divide:

We know the Sydney Harbour Bridge protest against the killing in Gaza was huge – but just how big was it? https://t.co/y10zITpnAJ

**IMPORTANT**

Macquarie Uni is proposing to cut Sociology entirely

11 of 14 staff may be made redundant, and student choice severely limited.

After 60+ years, Sociology and Politics could vanish from MQ.

[Carlos Palacios @Carlosptweets]

The project of decolonising economics (@divdececon) requires more than a critique of "homo economicus"...

Even the "homo socialis" of critical behavioral economists like Samuel Bowles (@sfiscience) must be quantified without a reductionist binary logic.
