Solidarity with Mark ✊

Far-right harassment of academics has long been a problem across countries. Many legacy media ignore, minimize, or even facilitate it. #NoPaseran

Mark Bray @mark-bray.bsky.social · 3d
I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.

If journalists want to talk, DM me or reply here.

Yes, shared prosperity is really possible. In these dark times I hope this book will provide readers a glimpse of a brighter future and ideas on how to get there. (And a big thank you to some of my favorite scholars who offered the words of praise on the back cover.)

New Etched in Marble post: catherineeunicedevries.substack.com/p/etched-in-...

Timothy Garton Ash has for decades chronicled Europe’s upheavals with a historian’s depth & a journalist’s eye.

In my conversation with Garton Ash, one theme stood out: writing as a defense of democracy.

I'm truly honored to receive this year's Kershaw Award. I came into the policy research world almost by accident after a failed stint in the Australian Baseball League. To have my work recognized like this is a testament to the wonderful mentors and colleagues I've learned from these past 10 years.

That is also the example given in the VoxDev piece I cited. India is also a good example. I was thinking of Mexico, which went the other way after NAFTA: relative gains in the North, but worse performance overall.

Nice framework. And the normative complement would be that it is OK for majorities in power to delegate to technocratic bodies when they fear their future selves (the usual time inconsistency argument), but not OK when they want to lock in policy because the opposition might rule in the future.
