@tomasrotta From a joint reading of your findings, even more than Marx, they seems to very accurately prove all of Giovanni Arrighi theories in Adam Smith in Beijing and The long Twentieth Century. Also Aglietta much briefer reflections on the New Left Review

@ProtectourRoads I commute to work in Birmingham by bike every day. I get enormously slowed down by the line of cars stuck in traffic, yet I get to work way quicker than them. Build more bike lanes to allow more people to feel safe enough to choose bikes! Save time and save the planet

@drshawna Solidarity. I fear this may have to do with the (understandable) difficulty for many students to distinguish between the University as an institution - which makes an effort to be very unloving, and professors as individuals, that often struggle against the same institution...

@mrfw17thc If we distinguish between "amateurs" as passionate people devoting their lives to the subject even if without formal academic status, and celebrities that publish a book on topics they don't know a lot exploiting their fame, I think part of this 'paradox' may get solved...

Very interesting new advertisement strategy by @Brewdog , framing themselves as "anti-sponsors" to reinforce their #branding alignment with social responsibility by contrast. New, hybrid forms of corporate activism in-the-making.

@FromPhDtoLife I would it's not. PhD and academic work has many drawbacks, but intellectual freedom and time self-management are an incredible and undeniable privilege/benefit. When you're not teaching you can basically work when you want from where you want.

#Bonjour ! The #HipsterEconomy crosses the English Channel et arrive pour la première fois en #Fran çais! Merci beaucoup à @LCoromines et à @LADN_EU pour cette très belle interview sur les thèmes de mon livre

C'est quoi l’économie de hipster, en recherche d'authenticité ?

La quête d'authenticité façonne les habitudes de consommation, conduisant même à la résurgence de modes de production.

@HelanaDarwin As Sociologist, I fear you know the answer. A good mix of decline of Western economic hegemony and entrepreneurialization of the self. The first broke the good boomer equation between hig ed and 'good work', the second offered self-entrepreneurship as only alternative.

Un tema fondamentale di cui non si parla mai abbastanza. Sperando che la mia generazione accademica o quella appena dopo siano finalmente protagoniste di una transizione di massa delle riviste da Elsevier, Sage, Routledge e Wiley a case editrici universitarie in #OpenAccess .
