@n_hold @mutualcreation ah, you finally got the block too i see. drumm is just a thin-skinned loser who can’t handle any pushback at all on his goofy takes. once you see that there’s no point in interacting further

quite a sharp little book. notably, Veblen’s acct of business cycles is based on the aging out of industrial capacity when new, more efficient tech/firms are introduced, and the competitive pressures that creates - a market-based theory Brenner tried to present as “marxian”

@policytensor Sure but why are they sanguine? Capitalists that don't invest without massive state subsidies/derisking, don't trade without bailout guarantees, can't survive w/o plugging into the defense budget (e.g., Silicon Valley), does that look like a healthy, vigorous capitalism to you?

[Jamie Merchant @pathtopraxis]

@policytensor well to sanction or approve of sth is different than doing or carrying it out oneself, no? anyway i’m explicitly arguing against this notion you’re attributing to me of a unified capitalist interest that could be directly imposed in the first place, so i think you’ve misread

[Chapo Trap House @CHAPOTRAPHOUSE]

We're joined by author @pathtopraxis for a deep dive into Trump 2 economic policy: intra-elite class war at the heart of Tariffs, the legacy of Bidenomics, and the future of U.S. trade and manufacturing. PLUS, the e-girl influencer drama tearing apart the far right

My thoughts about Jamie Merchant's great book, Endgame @LAReviewofBooks https://t.co/dtEA3wtzyM

[heatwave magazine @heatwvmag]

In his contribution to our dossier, @pathtopraxis argues that the latest iteration of Trump's economic policy represents a window into the global restructuring of class conflict, "a renewed ruling class offensive." Read Jamie's piece below 👇

[Cihan Tugal @CihanTugal]

The global significance of the protests in Turkey:
1) The world is shifting to the far right and Erdoğan is the only far-right leader in an electorally competitive context who has had an uninterrupted 23-year rule.
2) There were several electoral victories, uprisings and coup

Hey y'all. This week we have @WilsonSJake review essay, focusing on the different views on nationalism in Wolfgang Streeck's Taking Back Control (@VersoBooks ) and @pathtopraxis 's Endgame (@reaktionbooks, @UChicagoPress ).

nothing more contingent and random in capitalist society than a bunch of capitalists smashing up the state and handing it off to their cronies for privatization

"History is contingent" absolutely crushing "it's all structural forces" recently
