I have a new paper out in the European Journal of Sociology! Commodification and Social Reproduction: Theory and Mixed-Method Evidence on the Effect of Privatization on Childbearing. I have friends who do brilliant work on #social #reproduction, take #Marx seriously, but don’t…
You cannot say it better than Adam Smith: "In the courts of princes, in the drawing-rooms of the great, where success depends not upon merit but upon favour, truth is seldom heard. This disposition to admire, and almost to worship, the rich and the powerful… is the great and…
The rules-based international order was never truly universal, was upheld selectively, and attacked cynically even in its strongest days in the 1990s. But at least it functioned as a rhetorical anchor and a moral ambition. Not anymore. American politics has been explicit about…
Democratic backsliding is coordinated. Our response must be too. 2025 CFK Global Fellows Flávia Pellegrino, @gscheiring, and @IVejvoda share the alliances and shared strategies needed to confront rising authoritarianism today. Their call to action is clear: build solidarity,…
I was happy to talk the Boston-based @masslivenews for this article on what the U.S. can learn from Hungary’s crackdown on higher education. The transatlantic convergence of the far right, even if important differences remain, should worry anyone who takes universities,…
When people feel unseen or powerless, authoritarianism grows. 2025 CFK Global Fellows @gscheiring, Koketso Moeti, and Chris Muriithi, explain why addressing fear, inequality, and exclusion is central to defending democracy. Get a deeper understanding of today’s democratic…
This is an incredible story by Reuters: they reveal that China now has a working EUV lithography machine prototype, which makes China the only country in the world to have succeeded at replicating the ASML technology, years earlier than anticipated. The machine apparently "fills…

Today, we are publishing our World Inequality Report, which reviews the most recent #inequalitydata and exposes the scale of #inequality over time and across space. The third edition of the report, prefaced by @JosephEStiglitz & @Jayati1609 comes at a challenging political…
I have a cellular-level disrespect of disciplinary silos, so it was a great pleasure to contribute a reflection piece to Current Anthropology, one of the field’s most prestigious generalist journals. It’s not every day that a political economist gets to debate the anthropology of…

"Inside the rise and fall of Podemos" This is very good, though of necessity incomplete: but everybody on the left should read it. Take good note that it says little about party lines - but a lot about the effect of politics on its participants. theguardian.com/world/2025/nov…
I am working on a book on radical right populism around the globe, and Cihan's work is one of the most important sources of inspiration. Here he pulls together the threads of his work in a single thread (see what I did here). Check it out!
The theory of populism needs to be reconstructed by attention to some of the cases neglected in generalizing debates: India, Turkey, South Africa, China, and Iran. I point out in this article that the dominant theories of populism are based on the West 1/ annualreviews.org/content/journa…

A young Russian friend tells me tonight in New York how her family, in a city some 100 km from Moscow, was short of food in the 1990s. And I remember @nytimes and all those (obscenely highly paid) Western consultants to Yeltsin writing articles "Freedom works". And you say:…
