So excited to reconnect with my intellectual community over here - exciting new work in critical social studies of finance. Can’t wait to read this Nick!
My new book is out!
Just published with @plutobooks.bsky.social, Fictions of Financialization is a critique of financialization narratives, and (maybe more importantly) an attempt to lay out a more useful Marxist perspective on the power of finance capital.
