Excellent new book arguing that we need to take the early modern household more seriously in order to understand the emergence of fossil-fuel based societies. An important addition to energy history scholarship #skystorians lup.be/book/fossil-...

@davidedgerton.bsky.social for @thebreakdownab.bsky.social on his histories of production and innovation and why we should be sceptical of much vaunted claims that technological innovation is the key to resolving the climate crisis.

In a new piece for the JHI forum on political economy, Federico D’Onofrio discusses the rise of a class of "agricultural economists" as part of a broader trend intersecting with and going beyond "rural modernism" in twentieth-century Europe.
