My thoughts on the life and work of Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie, historian of peasants, climate change, class struggle, and a lot more newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/…

"As in the US, a gap has opened up between popular sentiment & any meaningful political expression of it: 80% of Labour voters—and 64% of Conservatives—want a ceasefire"—@zevin_a for @NewLeftReview on the war on Gaza as seen from the US & the UK: newleftreview.org/issues/ii144/a…
The Biden White House continues to arm, fund and provide cover to the IDF’s slaughter of civilians in Gaza. I examined how the issue has played out in Anglo-American politics and culture. newleftreview.org/issues/ii144/a…
For Sidecar, Joshua Rahtz on Germany's new left-wing party: newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/… 'Far from signalling a "normalization" of the AfD, Wagenknecht's alliance points the way back to a more formidable and dissident left, one which foregrounds its opposition to war'.
For Sidecar, I wrote on Biden's vision for the Middle East and the extent to which it aligns with the Israeli war on Gaza: newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/…

‘Viewed from the halls of power, the anti-China orientation of US industrial policy is not an unfortunate by-product of the green ‘transition’, but its motivating purpose…its precedent is not in the New Deal but the military Keynesianism of the Cold War’ newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/…
I wrote on @AntonJaegermm and @DanielZamoraV's superb history of UBI, and the policy's self-contradictions as a tool for sustaining market society: newstatesman.com/the-weekend-es…
