@HeerJeet @NidhiSrinivas_ It seems to be the latest “opinion-forming” talking point dished out by the blob: Accuse China of seeing the world as it is; equate rejection of exceptionalism with “disloyalty;”sprinkle with geopolitical projection to taste; serve up lukewarm at the NYT, MSNow, etc…

Marx failed to consider how seriously the most patently uninformed appreciations of his work would be taken, both by his critics and by his supporters.

@franzose13 We are all collectively failing our students. That's the point!

@plbds Vermutlich haben Sie dann Ihre Aufgabe als Lehrer verfehlt.

@DonaldClark @DonkorST I was going to suggest you ask a friend to help you understand the tweet. But I decided to do one better and asked Claude, which yielded text conveying a better sense of understanding than yours.
Wishing you the very best, regardless of analytical or political stances,

In Trump’s defense, only epidemiologists, public-health experts, and pretty much everybody else thought that cutting surveillance would lead to more outbreaks of infections like Hantavirus.

Reading these slides >>> Reading the classics
Jesús Fernández-Villaverde@JesusFerna7026
Since I have posted so much on Marx vs. Weber, modernity, and development over the last few weeks, I have posted an updated slide deck of my lectures on Karl Marx and the Marxian Tradition (together with @ferarteaga) here: sas.upenn.edu/~jesusfv/ET_3_… This is a long deck: 437 slides in the last compilation! (It also takes a few seconds to upload.) If I were to teach it carefully, with plenty of class discussion, I would require a whole semester. Even then, some topics (e.g., the Frankfurt School) receive only a cursory treatment because I focus more on economics and political economy, broadly construed. I hope to extend the discussion of those someday. However, I cover topics rarely seen in these courses, such as Hans-Georg Backhaus and the Neue Marx-Lektüre, because most of the work is not translated into English and must be read in the original German. I don’t have an equivalent slide deck on Max Weber, as I haven’t lectured on him. Hopefully, one day I will. Comments and feedback are very welcome.

This was an outstanding conference and engagement between academics, activists, organisers, and officials in the new NYC government. Hopefully the start of a series of conversations. The organisers helped us live up to the traditions of critical, public scholarship that have defined the @NSSRNews our Department of Economics for many decades.

Proud of the great conference we put together! Stay tuned for another People's Policy Conference in the future...

True story, after centuries of Romanov incompetence, the Czar was going to pull and all nighter and fix everything -- but then the revolution happened!

The Russian Empire was weeks away from universal education in 1917. Then the revolution happened, and set it back by a decade. You were never told this. Here's what the numbers actually show. 🧵👇 By 1914, literacy was rising quickly. In cities it reached 60–70%, and among army recruits it exceeded 70–80%. Recruits were not an elite group, they came largely from the peasantry. If the army was receiving literate young men, it meant that education had already penetrated rural Russia.

Luiz Melodia performing "Estácio, Holly Estácio" at Teatro Dulcina, Rio de Janeiro (1980).
Raised in Estácio, the birthplace of samba, Melodia fused samba, soul, blues, and rock into something entirely his own. A true trailblazer.

Elsevier is now also demanding that people working in journal editorial committees sign contracts stipulating the responsibilities of editors and the many rights they waive, all while defining no obligation for Elsevier.
Contracts that only commit one party to doing anything!

The BBC doesn't just spread war propaganda in English. "The BBC was unable to verify this information independently," reads a line BBC Brasil's, "The billionaire business empire of Cuba's secret elite," published days after President Lula condemned the US' murderous blockade.
