@kaiheron.bsky.social, @bertrussell.bsky.social, and I have been working hard on this. Great to get it out the door.

This is quite useful, actually. It focuses attention on disparities of wealth and raises questions as to why, despite this country being wealthier than it has ever been, living standards are sliding and the public realm is dropping to bits.
It's easy to dismiss this as just a online thing - but increasingly the 'wealth tax/billionares will pay for it' is cutting through more generally

You can see it on normal, non-politicos insta feeds-particularly driven by the Greens. It's hugely damaging to the leigitimacy of actual progressive tax
Tax policy on the British left is pure "anti-bedtime left". Bizarre idea that you can have a big social democratic welfare state without everyone contributing properly www.economist.com/britain/2025...

The private sector has let our public services down again and again. So why do we assume the private sector is always the best person for the job? Because we don't value the expertise and competency of communities, says @francesnorthrop.bsky.social on the latest New Economics Podcast 🎙️

🚜 Britain’s farming sector is in crisis.

Global over-production keeps commodity prices down, and state support that once propped up private farms has largely disappeared.

The solution lies in commoning agriculture. 1/2

🎉Another exciting episode of the New Economics Podcast out now!

This week we were joined by @kmilb.bsky.social and Frances Northrop to talk about the failure of privatisation, what radical abundance means, and how communities are building alternatives to capitalism.

This conversation was so enjoyable to record because it moved pretty seamlessly from the big macro picture of the past 40 years to the fine detail of how privatisation, neoliberal institutional reform and the struggle to overcome their effects hits on the ground.
