When the state limits “unacceptable decision making” by women about their own bodies, both women and the babies they’re forced to have are at increased risk of death. Stock is not a feminist. She’s a death enthusiast.

Dear #skystorians, could you please guide me towards an *early* French historiography of World War II and the early postwar (1945-1948)? I am only finding either testimonies/biographies or things related to Algeria/resistance. Thanks!

nb: by early I mean 50s-60s

1/ I recently wrote a review for @hfrancewebsite.bsky.social on Arnaud Orain’s Le monde confisqué: Essai sur le capitalisme de la finitude. The book has stirred major debate in France. It’s rare (and great) to see a historian of economic thought in the spotlight.

Has anyone measured the impact of civil society actors (corporate, university, NP, etc) making political statements? Do these statements have substantive effect on movements’ success (recruitment, fundraising, policy change)?

Anyone studying this? #sociology #polisky?

I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world?

Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)

as someone who engages in both growth theory and economic history i'm happy to see both fields celebrated by this year's Nobel, but because i also dabble in history of economic thought i think it should be noted that the decision to pool them together may not be as natural as it seems.
