I did this interview for Rosa Luxemburg Foundation with several brilliant colleagues. We talk about liberalism, socialism, strategy, and the urgent need to overcome the capitalist law of value. I think you'll like it: rosalux.de/en/news/id/535…

Interesting paper: 161 researchers in 73 research teams used the same data and hypothesis (immigration reduces support for social policies among the public), but arrived at different results and conclusions. Paper in PNAS

Zohran Mamdani stands for making essentials affordable for all. A mission relevant way beyond NYC and a real alternative to end-times fascism. Proud to be the first signatory of our letter of economists in support of Zohran Kwame Mamdani

I'm excited to announce this new paper with Jostein Hauge. It establishes a progressive industrial policy framework to scale down harmful industries, organise production around public benefit, and achieve global ecological justice. Link in the next tweet, open access!

No matter how often I see this data, I always find it shocking. Of all the massive growth in output produced by the world's workers since 1980, more than half of it has been captured by the richest 1%. This is what happens when capital controls production.

The most enduring marker of success isn't wealth, fame, or power. It’s what we create and contribute to others. In the short run, status symbols capture attention. In the long run, achievement is judged by impact. The highest accomplishment is improving the lives of others.

Too often, violence based on sexual orientation or gender identity goes unseen—not because it isn’t happening, but because it isn’t measured. As #PrideMonth comes to an end, we must remember: What we don’t count, we can’t confront. Learn more: unwo.men/qI9250WhJHR

Some unethical and faulty proposals pitched for electronic monitoring, surveillance, AI & prediction technologies in #prisons & #probation in England & Wales. That's where techno-utopianism leads. People in custody or under supervision have human rights. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…
