For the New Statesman, I wrote about this thing we call capitalism. By way of Borges and Braudel, I review the mappings and musings in Sven Beckert’s and Branko Milanovic’s brilliant new books.

How not to talk about capitalism
The more it penetrates our daily lives, the less we seem to understand the “system that runs the world”

While some have long sought to trace every major global transformation back to the internal dynamics of capitalism, others put more emphasis on the competitive states-system we inhabit. Here, I revisit the Q of how we should think about the relationship between capitalism and the states-system

UK tightening student visas during a uni funding crisis at the moment some of the biggest spenders on higher education are looking around for a new destination would be an impressive example of governing by polling against the economic interests of the country

China has Made in China 2025, an elaborate industrial policy, designed by an army of competitive bureaucrats and a financial system subordinated to them.
The US at this point has a guy with instinct, now afraid of the bond market

"Ethnos of the Earth" by Jaakko Heiskanen. As empires collapsed and nation-states emerged during the 20th Century, "ethnicity" gained traction as a means to talk of the "stateless" without recognizing self-determination
