Freue mich über die schöne Besprechung meiner Adornovorlesungen am @ifsfrankfurt.bsky.social letzte Woche (wenn auch der Titel meines vorletzten Buches nicht ganz stimmt … )

Danke für die Einladung und die perfekte Organisation!
Auch der letzte Abend der Adorno-Vorlesungen war, wie die beiden vorherigen auch, sehr gut besucht.

Important reminder that history is not deterministic. There is no one-way road to fascism, but neither one out of it. There is hope in the plurality of (well-funded) resistance.
What gave me pause, however, was the role of media then and now.
My new essay describes the CIO, the UAW, and the industrial union as building American democracy out of the ashes 100 yrs ago. Where are the parallels today? @uawarchivist.bsky.social @uaw.org @lizshuler.bsky.social @aflcio.org @seiu.org @lawcha.bsky.social @aft.org www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/o...

My latest on Project Syndicate. Given that institutions like central banks are under attack, we might just as well rethink what they should do in a democracy

Rethinking the Politics of Money
Katharina Pistor argues that it’s high time to rethink how money can be managed in ways that benefit the people, not finance.

The same old story: deny the rights of others to claim full control for yourself. This is Capitalism.
Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"
