1/ I recently wrote a review for @hfrancewebsite.bsky.social on Arnaud Orain’s Le monde confisqué: Essai sur le capitalisme de la finitude. The book has stirred major debate in France. It’s rare (and great) to see a historian of economic thought in the spotlight.

#GCFHSResist It was such a pleasure to meet/catch up with so many wonderful scholars in French history! Although French history/history/academia faces so many challenges, there is an abundance of kindness and generosity within the community that will help us face those challenges together.
