I mean, read everything Gabe writes, but especially the things he writes for the LPE blog 👀 This piece does an excellent job laying out why we can't just sub in any identity category to Stuart Hall's famous formulation & the stakes of what it means to say something is a mediator of class

LPE Blog@lpeblog.bsky.social · last wk.

Today, @gabrielwinant.bsky.social explains why a clear picture of how age mediates class would reveal not gerontocracy, but capitalism and the fractionated class system it produces.

(Two) weeks in review: Madison Condon and Luke Herrine on the economics that Law & Economics ignores, Jeremy Bearer-Friend and Sarah Polcz on taxing AI equity, Matt Bodie on the persistence of shareholder primacy, and Diana Reddy on theorizing discrimination for the bad jobs economy.

Today, @matthewtbodie.bsky.social welcomes the appearance of a kinder, gentler, more ecumenical version of law and economics. Yet in corporate law scholarship, where shareholder primacy still reigns supreme, he finds scant evidence of any such shift.

Twilight of the Gods

Contemporary proponents of law and economics claim to have abandoned the idea that law is an instrument for maximizing economic efficiency and wealth. Corporate law scholars haven't yet heard the good...

ICYMI: Luke Herrine @lookheron.bsky.social and I wrote a (pretty chill, I think) response to being called part of an "intellectual vacuum"

The Economics that Law and Economics Ignores

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

law and econ ppl really will call the law and political economy movement an "intellectual abdication," a "vaccuum," "curiously unlettered" and that econ explores inequality "at a level of sophistication beyond LPE's wildest comprehension" and then be like LPE ppl should stop being mean to us

Madison Condon@madisoncondon.bsky.social · 3w ago

I really enjoyed working on this piece with Luke (from whom I learned so much!) responding to a Law and Economics UChicago symposium that I thought was pretty rudely dismissive of the work done by Law and Political Economy scholars

Luke Herrine@lookheron.bsky.social · 3w ago

As promised, @madisoncondon.bsky.social and I have an essay on how L&E scholars ignore LPE’s uses of non-neoclassical economics and then criticize LPE-ers for not knowing economics. In the spirit of better debate, we canvass some of that literature lpeproject.org/blog/the-eco...

really think that if democrats hold any chamber of congress next year that a condition of passing a budget is the removal of russ vought, who has a genuinely tyrannical vision of presidential power and is a focal point of the lawlessness of the trump administration

Phil Rocco@philiprocco.bsky.social · 4w ago

I don’t think people really understand how bad the OMB proposed rule is going to be for state and local govt. We’re talking about putting a full third of state budgets under the explicit control of Russ Vought. (1/2) www.bondbuyer.com/news/cities-...

The week in review: Jeff Gordon on anti-entrenchment industrial policy, M. Sandhu against legislative primacy, Aslı Bâli on *The Constitutional Bind* during the interregnum, and R.H. Lossin on early-20th-century criminal syndicalism laws. Plus, new CFPs, jobs, and articles from around the web!

Today, R.H Lossin explains how early-20th-century criminal syndicalism laws invoked "sabotage" and property protection to criminalize the IWW's speech and organizing — a formula for anti-left repression that remains widely appealing.

Property, Sabotage, and the Origins of Anti-Left Repression

Between 1917 and 1921, twenty-one states passed anti-criminal syndicalism laws. These laws, which were intended to help eliminate the Industrial Workers of the World, have largely faded from public…

"The old constitutional and international settlements are unraveling together. Rana’s achievement is to show how Americans came to mistake constitutional veneration for democratic freedom and imperial leadership for internationalism."

LPE Blog@lpeblog.bsky.social · last mo.

Today, Aslı Bâli argues that in this moment of deepening constitutional and geopolitical crises, the left must recover traditions that refused to separate democracy at home from anti-imperialism abroad. And no recent text has done this better than Aziz Rana's *The Constitutional Bind.*

NYC Policy Forum@nycpolicyforum.bsky.social · last mo.

Today, Andrew Perry (@nyfiscalpolicy.bsky.social) examines the "Swiss Army Knife of NYC government": the Economic Development Corporation (EDC)--its powers, how they've been used in the past, & how they could be used to tackle the city's housing crisis nycpolicyforum.substack.com/p/nycedc-soc...

Stop Subsidizing Office Buildings and Stadiums, Start Building Social Housing

The EDC’s tax giveaways don't get the best deal for the City. Mayor Mamdani has a mandate to build 200,000 homes and a powerful tool to help him do it.
