I submit that the single most important book of social science in modern history is Karl Polanyi's The Great Transformation. Want to know what the hell is happening in the 2020s? Read Polanyi on the 1920s.

trump’s reaction (or lack thereof) to the attempt on the lives of gov. shapiro and his family ON PASSOVER is why it’s journalism malpractice to credulously report ANYTHING he does as being in service of fighting antisemitism.

as I joked with Martien Lubberink this week, a "one hundred year risk" is defined as "the kind of event that happens roughly once every 12 years", while a "200 year risk" is defined as "the kind of event that happens roughly once every 12 years"
