Though it's often said that the history of capitalism is Eurocentric, few have attempted to rewrite it from a non-Eurocentric perspective. Historian Andrew B. Liu rises to the challenge with "Tea War: A History of Capitalism in China and India." jacobinmag.com/2021/01/tea-wa…

@TheStalwart @MattNoahSmith yes but plastic isn’t as seasonally sensitive as fertilizers? fyi history of 73 crisis involved spiking plastic costs. it led to the small plastic toy trends of the eighties (gi joe dolls and stuff)

Hey @TheStalwart any idea if an oil price shock would affect the price of plastic and then everything downstream of that? Plastic is made from petrochemicals after all! I dunno - supply chain ep incoming?

My new piece tries to make sense of how the fantasy Axis of [Something Bad] caught on in DC despite being very silly. China seems weak because it can’t defend the (imaginary) Axis, so the Blob is starting to think that open aggression could work if they were at the helm.

global petrochemicals having their moment finally

Red@redbuckman

The chemical industry simply can’t turn plants off and on again, the design basis is to run at high utilization to make even a breakeven return.

Fossil fuel price shocks are redistribution shocks. Last time, we warned windfall profits would benefit the ultra-rich at the expense of everyone else. This time, there is no excuse. The numbers are in. We need windfall profit taxes & multilateral price caps now.

Was Habermas “one of the greatest” philosophers, as this obituary asserts? I very much doubt it. In any case, his reputation will be tarnished by his (unmentioned) complaisance in the Gaza genocide.
