I agree with the contention of this piece that it is a mistake to see "Bidenomics" as a mere “derisking” of neoliberal investment. Rather, it represented a deep reconfiguration of state-economy relations, signaling the reemergence of the U.S. developmental state. journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10....

Today, Noam Maggor (@maggor.bsky.social) concludes our symposium on @jasonbjackson.bsky.social's *Traders, Speculators, and Captains of Industry.* Although rooted in Indian history, he argues, the book’s thoroughly global-comparative mode of analysis allows it to resonate far beyond South Asia.
The Politics of Capitalist Legitimacy
At the core of Jason Jackson's Traders, Speculators, and Captains of Industry is a longstanding conversation among Indian modernizers about how to identify and nurture the ‘right’ kind of capitalists.

1/ My article is out in HOPE and I am excited. In writing the first concept history of WTP I show how early neoclassical econs understood that the amount someone is willing to pay for something often does not reflect how much they value it because rich people have way more money!
