I reviewed Chris O’Kane’s new book for Marx and Philosophy Review of Books. The short of it is this is important scholarship that sets many Marxist debates on new terrain. Go check out the review to see what you might learn. marxandphilosophy.org.uk/reviews/2276...

‘Social Constitution and Fetishistic Social Domination in Marx, Lukács, Adorno, and Lefebvre’ by Chris O’Kane reviewed by Jacob Spenser Wilson

For those steeped in value-form theory, who have read the third section of chapter one so many times they dream in coats and linen, who are acutely aware of the debates concerning value’s necessary fo...

Between O’Kane’s new book and this one (recently translated in English), there are now no excuses for anyone to read section 4 of chapter 1 of Capital as a theory of ideology anymore.

For Field Notes, I wrote a history of the anti-deportation movement that, for now, culminated in defeating the White House's "surge" deportation operations in the Twin Cities earlier this year. This defeat halted the domestic momentum of the Trump administration. brooklynrail.org/2026/07/fiel...

This was really ahead of its time for anglophone scholarship. I am sort of surprised I have not encountered more discussions around Cleaver’s work today. Interesting though that the language of a Marx revival appears here in 79.

Had the lovely experience of watching my Linux distro implode in front of my eyes as I prepared for the next day’s work. Thankfully I recovered all the important stuff like dissertation copies. Really makes one appreciate good instructions and the good will of people on forums.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Call for PhD Student! I'm recruiting a PhD student to work with me on a project related to my Future Fellowship at Monash University on the political economy of insurance, risk technology, climate governance, and the crisis of uninsurability. Here's the overview of my fellowship.

A necessary analysis of polycrisis and its consequences must account for the industries, technologies, and policies that govern risks-and, crucially, how they engage in socio-technical processes of defining, predicting, and valuing risks. By synthesising the following objectives into a cohesive research program, this Future Fellowship aims to create essential empirical knowledge about urgent problems of insurability, which will inform new policy solutions and critical theories, all for the purpose of understanding and tackling the complex polycrisis at the nexus of insurance markets, risk technologies, and climate governance regimes. • Objective 1: Examine the design and construction of climate risk models by insurance industry and risk analytics firms to identify the assumptions, trade-offs, values, and goals built into these systems. • Objective 2: Engage directly with governments and communities at the frontlines of risk vulnerability to understand how abstract computational models and simulations connect to lived experiences and ground truth. • Objective 3: Develop new policies and frameworks for climate risk justice, which are informed by original empirical work and contribute to greater equity and security in risk governance. • Objective 4: Generate critical theoretical contributions that guide analytical and applied work about the techno-politics of risk governance in an age of global polycrisis. This fellowship advances our understanding of climate risk governance across three Workstreams. Workstream 1 will conduct ethnography at insurance industry conferences and with companies building climate risk models. Workstream 2 will engage in research with governments and communities who are managing the risks and realities of uninsurability from natural disasters. Workstream 3 will collaborate with a climate policy think tank to develop innovative policies grounded in original empirical research and conceptual analysis-that advance climate justice.

"Previous attempts to find a source of women’s subordination in in Marx’s theory of value (a 'unitary theory' of sexism and exploitation) have largely resulted in transhistorical theories of household production that are based in biological determinism and presuppose a bourgeois family-household..."
