Does anyone here have experience with raising concerns about the quality of a review to editors they are willing to share (possibly by email/pm)? I don't have much hope, but I think some things need to be said, especially after having the manuscript under review for almost 2 years.

We think this matters because the intellectual life of our region is shaped by distinctive histories, pressures, and difficulties that often remain invisible. Our inaugural post, by boruttrpin.bsky.social, is now live: eenps.weebly.com/blog

Talk of building a good society is often met with the charge of utopianism. But this is wrong, argues @profkepickett.bsky.social of @equalitytrust.bsky.social. The blueprint for a fairer society lies in front of us – but it requires moving away from “trickle-down” economics #LSEInequalitiesBlog

Why my vision of a Good Society is evidence-based, not utopian

We have a choice about the kind of society that we build. A fairer, more prosperous society is possible, but requires moving away from “trickle-down” economics.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

My new co-authored paper with Jay Zameska is out.

Very pleased to have this piece out with the fab @notesfrompoland.bsky.social, on the remarkable rise of participatory budgeting in contemporary Poland.

Notes from Poland @notesfrompoland.bsky.social · last yr.

Poland has become a global leader in participatory budgeting, through which local residents decide how some public money is spent. Over half of all such schemes in Europe are found in Poland, and they are quietly transforming its cities, towns and villages, writes Callum MacRae.
