Tax avoidance? We’re shocked, shocked to find that corporations stash their wealth in low- or zero-tax jurisdictions, making everyone else pay the bill for civilization. @Chuck99to1 discusses the Pandora Papers in @jacobin https://t.co/cqmwKnKpQc

Fascinating talk with @IsabellaMWeber on how China rejected both neoliberal shock therapy AND egalitarian ideals (however imperfectly held), surrendering to "capitalist realism." Like much of the left in US and Europe? @danieldenvir https://t.co/X2tBc0oYIh

A Dutch court ruled last week that people employed by Uber are—shockingly—Uber employees. They actually have rights. Here’s an interesting interview with @jamesfarrar, ex-Uber driver, movement organizer, & lead claimant in the UK case https://t.co/eR1W3TICBS @wilfredchan

“The making of a synthetic world is a missing piece in understanding the place of oil in contemporary capitalism”, argues Adam Hanieh in the @NewLeftReview—and thus in understanding how corporate power assumed its present form. https://t.co/ZgnenuPYYf

Interesting review article by @LalehKhalili for @LRB on the global trade in primary commodities (its obscure and often diabolically shady politics) https://t.co/hbxP1DsZkM
