My essay "When the Crescent met the Swastika" is out with @theindernet — my first attempt to bring my MA thesis to a wider audience. Writing it for a general readership meant a lot.

My new piece in Dawn Images today: I went to Portugal for a conference and found the age of crusades turning quietly into the age of empire.

@dekkani @theindernet Thank you for highlighting this! I know a little — Iqbal Shedai's collaboration with the Italian fascists, and Khwaja Abbas writing against Nazi propaganda — but would love to read more. Also a big admirer of your work, especially the piece on the "little Führer of Bombay."🙂

Polanyi on the rise of fascism:

"the victory of fascism was made practically unavoidable by the liberals' obstruction of any reform involving planning, regulation, or control."

Amazing review in the @thewire_in of @BaijayantiDiya's new book. It's a must-read for anyone interested in Indo-German entanglement from the early 20th century until at least WW II. Her work fascinates me since it intersects with my master's thesis.

Here’s a little ditty I wrote in @FTAlphaville today about the arithmetic gymnastics behind the assertion that Pakistan’s debt is sustainable.

This assertion requires a suspension of disbelief.

Thanks to the great Soumaya. The podcast is a good summary of how I see my recent work with Bernanke on inflation.

Thread 1/n: My kids and I were horrified at our recent visit to New York City’s American Museum of Natural History @AMNH . It was mindboggling, after the carefully curated exhibitions at the New-York Historical Society down the street. Is this a museum or a time-capsule? Why are

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:

"It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.

"There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.

"If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice!

"Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity."
