Today's the day: submissions are now open for the inaugural Association of Law & Political Economy conference!

📢 Heads up! The Association of Law & Political Economy is accepting submissions for our first-ever conference starting THIS Friday 🎉

Today, @msjamshidi.bsky.social argues that the recent US sanctions against Francesca Albanese—a human rights expert whose work threatens several major American corporations—exemplify the economic goals that are part and parcel of U.S. sanctions policy.

Today, @profhilaryallen.bsky.social explains how Silicon Valley Venture Capitalists turned “innovation” into a smokescreen for regulatory arbitrage—and how we underwrite this behavior by showering VCs with public subsidies.

*extremely* excited about this new development!

The G7 is exempting American multinationals from the global minimum tax. It’s pathetic and scandalous.

Last night, a three-judge panel of the federal Court of International Trade unanimously held that Trump’s use of emergency powers to bypass Congress and impose worldwide tariffs is illegal. It’s a tightly reasoned decision that reaches the right outcome. 1/18 apnews.com/article/trum...

This is a terrific piece which does a great job at both critiquing the criminalisation of ecocide and offering crucial insight on the law-as-a-quick-fix and the implications thereof
