Breaking up the tech giants won’t be enough to rein in their power, writes Nils Peters. Instead we must recode the way that platforms operate – and in whose interests. opendemocracy.net/en/oureconomy/…

I reviewed The Asset Economy by Prof Lisa Adkins, Melinda Cooper and Martijn Konings. Very much hope it will inspire the study of assets and their owners, a topic that has only gained in importance as the pandemic lingers on

A Goldsmiths Politics Masters student I am supervising is looking for participants to interview for a study on ppl's experience of furlough. Please share & get in touch with Hannah Trippier (see image for details & contact)

My review on "The Last Neoliberal: Macron and the Origins of France's Political Crisis" by Bruno Amable and Stefano Palombarini is out. Thanks to the brilliant Antipode for their help and support!

PERC towers on the picket!

Associate lecturers at Goldsmiths were among the first targeted by SMT's budget cuts. We're willing to fight, but on precarious contracts the big question is how to afford it. If you can, donate to our strike fund so we can win the #Goldstrike

Very much looking forward to reading this
