Thrilled to have another piece out on the history of economic republicanism! In the 19th century, republican ideas were mobilised to argue for popular economic self-government, ideas that still have much to offer in our own age of oligarchy.

I enormously enjoyed this conversation with David Runciman about the history of compulsory voting, how it came to be adopted in countries like Belgium and Australia, and what it could for British politics today.
NEW EPISODE OUT NOW!

In today’s episode David talks to political historian @dmk1793.bsky.social about whether voting should be required by law and what might change if non-participation was no longer an option. Why have some countries made voting compulsory?

First historian who claims Lee Harvey Oswald and John Wilkes Booth were radicalized at university will get the Presidential Medal for Freedom (and possibly prime time interview on CBS).
