Thank you, dearest Durba, and for your help! 🙏❤️

I’ve been off social media a while and I can’t come back without mentioning the genocide in Gaza, which is more devastating each day. So please also read Tareq Baconi in the same issue www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

I tried here to capture one part of its indispensable story and to convey Cooper’s crucial lesson: that fiscal politics is always also moral politics, and that histories of finance should also attend to struggles over the organisation of social relations

Counterrevolution’s history of struggles over public finance goes further than anything I’ve read to explaining how things have got as bad as they are. Like Cooper’s Life as Surplus and Family Values, it will change how you think

Self- and other- nominations welcome!

We've extended the deadline to April 15.

Please email nominated papers to kforrester@g.harvard.edu and DanHanley@clarku.edu

thank you, I should do this!

thanks Anthony. i'm familiar with what I think of - no offence intended :) - as the "historical" contributions, like HW's. I was more wondering about recent work, but I think I was conflating a piece of Martin's and Joe Guinan's... but thank you

thanks Martin. I'm writing about the GLC right now so any Wainwright content is always appreciated

yessss Martin thank you!!! I think this is it. I'm so glad I didn't imagine it. (I have sort of missed the transition at Renewal, sad to hear...)

oh and good call on Griffiths i will check!

thanks Stuart! yes i know this great piece of yours (i've been thinking a lot about the same cast of people recently, maybe i'll be in touch about that soon)... i think i may have dreamed the Lucas Plan paper. thanks anyway!

gah, that might be it! I'm going to hold out hope a little longer but I think you may be right... thanks Tom

ah it's ok, i may have imagined it. maybe it was @stuartgwhite.bsky.social ??

oh how nice to hear of the connection!

thanks for posting this, so glad to see and so great to hear!
