Working the conjuncture! @adamtooze.bsky.social brings me back to the classrooms, supervisor meetings and bars of my PhD with this discussion of conjuctural analysis using @jamiepeck.bsky.social 's work. Could hear Jamie's voice in my head while reading this.

My obituary for Michael Burawoy.

What distinguished him from other socialists was that he did not sidestep or ignore conservative criticisms of Marxism. Rather, he took them head-on to reconstruct sociology.

💬 Announcing our #AAG2025 EGSG Early Career Keynote lecture, 'Untethered: Scalable Computing and the Acceleration of Industrial Change' to be given by Devika Narayan, with @jamiepeck.bsky.social as discussant.

Hosted by @econgeog.bsky.social
Wednesday 3.26 at 10:10 AM in Detroit!

Poster on multicolored background says early career keynote and has a photo of Devika Narayan, University of Bristol, Speaker, with the title and text: 'Untethered: Scalable Computing and the Acceleration of Industrial Change: This Keynote examines the impact of a highly concentrated tech sector on firm practices across industries. I intend to answer three questions:
1) What is distinctive about computing technologies today? 2) What is the contemporary structure and organisation of corporate computing? 3) How does this configuration of computing relations alter firm practices? My claim is that digital technology and the tech sector intensifies volatility and chaos in capitalist industries through new forms of abstraction, modularity, and outsourcing. New tools and techniques of rapid experimentation speed up not just expansion and growth but also speed up the interruption of established firm practices. Overall, I contribute a theoretical framing of machinic hyper-flexibility and capitalist logics.' With the date, time, and plate listed as Wednesday 3/26
10.10AM - 11.30AM
AAG Annual Meeting
430A, Level 4

Shaina Potts has written a brilliant & incredibly timely book about law, capital, and American empire.

I tried to do justice to it in this review essay (which hopefully will lead you to the book itself):

How the US Courts Rewrote the Rules of International Trade

Shaina Potts’s Judicial Territory examines how the American legal system created an economic environment that subordinated the entire world to domestic business interests.
