It's a very sad day. Just notified that @iza.org is closing its doors as of 31 December 2025. At a time when labor is under attack and technological change moves at an ever-faster pace, I can't help but think that this is a short-sighted decision. My heart goes out to those folks who work there.

Reminded of this paper by Akerlof that applied the work of Burawoy to challenge some established ways of thinking around incentives and market clearing in economics. Rare crossover of ideas but illustrates the erudition of Burawoy's work. RIP www.jstor.org/stable/18163...
