Public pension schemes never run out of money. Such statements aim to manipulate the public in order to convince for private pension funds which gave a rise to financialisation.

America, the land where mothers get arrested because they can't afford diapers for their babies while rich pedophiles get away with raping children.

Johannesburg friends, the launch of How the International Monetary Fund Strangles Africa, my new book with @vijayprashad, will take place on 6th August, 6pm, at The Forge in downtown Johannesburg. Details below 👇🏿

The U.S. bombed and killed 168 schoolchildren in Iran — with no accountability. That’s why we disrupted “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth this week.

New video shows a cop violently assaulting 21-year-old Eryn Bonner in Tempe, Arizona. The officer can be seen tackling the woman to the ground and then punching her in the face. Here’s where it gets batshit crazy: 𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭. The charges against her were dropped, but the cop who actually committed the assault has not been charged. How much more violence are the American people going to let the police inflict on our communities? 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫.

Abderrahim Fakir died of suspected lung compression after several minutes pressed to the ground by Italian police. The killing has shone a light over police impunity, just months after a new law helped shield officers from prosecution. jacobin.com/2026/07/italy-…

This is correct.

More mainstream coverage of sociology. At a certain point, simple self-interest should start getting some sociologists to critically reflect on the situation. wsj.com/us-news/educat…

There's a scourge of NDAs surrounding data center development — tech billionaires are getting local politicians to keep their projects a secret. People around the country are increasingly outraged to find that their politicians have signed on to agreements proposed by the oligarchs at Meta, Google, Anthropic and other corporations that allow tech giants to hold them to secrecy. We went down to Louisiana and talked to folks who say this is a crisis of corruption.

This is Robert Blecker's last article he sent to @ReviewofPE I have asked that it be made Open access. This should happen Monday. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

We are saddened to learn that Prof. Robert Blecker, a member of the editorial board, has died. He will be remembered for his several contributions to Post Keynesian open macroeconomics. Read about his work in this article by @RicardoSumma & co-authors elgaronline.com/view/journals/…

🚨 YESTERDAY: ICE agents kidnapped a woman while she was pumping gas and assaulted the observer who was filming and questioning this act of terrorism. ✊🏾 TOMORROW: We shut it down and demand an end to ICE terror. The agents who killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo with impunity must be named, arrested, prosecuted, and ICE must be abolished. H-TOWN, SHUT IT DOWN❗️

BREAKING: This is Gaza right now. Israel is dropping bombs on residential buildings in the middle of the night, while families are asleep. The genocide never paused. It never stopped.

This is the intellectual dignity of neoliberal clowns. Before the decision of the ECB, he wrote "the Taylor Rule still puts the appropriate policy rate about 1.7pp above where the ECB has it", after the decision he wrote "in line with expectations".

The editorial board resigned in a show of protest after the association caved to the publisher's demands, which will transform ROSE into a watered down fee-based service for authors, ultimately at the expense of genuine heterodox scholarship.

Guy who knows nothing about Marxian economics, it’s long history, or politically-motivated marginalization in the economics profession.

@kmunro_econ Absolutely shameful decision-making on the part of the administration. There goes another "light in dark times"...

It has been surreal watching this debate over "viewpoint diversity" unfold while the heterodox economics dept I joined at Utah 4 years ago is being actively dismantled. American public universities aren't run by "woke" humanities professors but by state govts and major donors.
