Where did the land for the US land grant universities come from? Why haven't we asked this question before? A stunning piece of investigative reporting by a historian-journalist-cartographer-photographer team. In High Country News.
Took years, but it's finally out! An investigation reconstructing how nearly 11 million acres of Indigenous land funded the land-grant university system.

An important piece on the crack-up of America's neoliberal order and the opportunities for progressive politics that have, as a consequence, opened up.
The neoliberal order is dead, or at least dying. I wrote about the activists, historians, and political operatives—not all of them household names—who are thinking about what comes next.

It is stunning to me how little historians of the US twentieth-century (I, too, am part of this pattern) have worked the pandemic of 1918-1920 into the stories we tell of radicalism, reaction, and reform in the interwar years (1919-1939). Why is this?

Agreed. A fascinating attempt to make sense of what is different about our political moment, built on Chris Clark's reinterpretation of the significance of 1848 (Revolutionary Spring).
This, from
@DanielZamoraV
, is one of the best statements I've seen on what is old and what is new in our moment. Takes off from the recent book on 1848 to re-situate the global situation. Also, stellar use of historical analogy/disanalogy.

We need EJ's optimism & Biden resolve. MI & PA may take days to count absentee ballots, which could swing vote to Dems. Milwaukee results delayed till Wed AM. No blue wave, but maybe a squeaker--like Trump in 2016. Prepare for fierce court battles over which votes count.
In all this Biden gloom, let's note that North Carolina and Arizona could still flip. Arizona likely, North Carolina on a knife edge. With those two, Biden would need only Michigan or Pennsylvania to go over the top. (Or Wisconsin plus a 2016 Trump CD in Nebraska or Maine.)

A sad day and a big loss. Gitlin's Years of Hope, Days of Rage, part history, part memoir, is one of the best books ever written on the 1960s in America.
So sad to hear about Todd Gitlin's passing. He lived a remarkable life and had a major impact shaping the social justice movements of the 1960s. Gitlin will not be forgotten. His legacy will endure. May his memory be blessing.

This is an important essay, deserving of wide readership and discussion among all those interested in US (and global) political economy, past and present.
It's out! Just in time for the new year. My co-authored paper with Stefan Link on the 'US as a Developing Nation', now in

The Biden era is indeed making the history of the New Deal, its limitations and its achievements, newly relevant. These books can serve as a guide to that earlier progressive moment.
These companion volumes from the University of Pennsylvania Press are essential reading at the dawn of the Biden era. Edited by Gary Gerstle, Romain Huret, Nelson Lichtenstein, Alice O'Connor, and Jean-Christian Vinel they offer readers 26 original essays, all radical in temper.

Thank you
@krystalball
for this conversation on the neoliberal order, "what could come next, and...how this all fits into the political moment we’re living through." We covered a lot of ground.

Thanks, Hugh,
@hlinehan
, for a terrific discussion and for your deep engagement with the issues at the heart of the book.
On today’s Inside Politics podcast I’m joined by
@glgerstle
to discuss his new book The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order, which explores how neoliberalism took hold, how it shaped society in the US and beyond, and what its decline means.

WHERE'S THE INK? Or, the wonders of the American electoral system (from the NYT)
The absentee ballot results in Green Bay, Wis., are delayed because one of the vote-counting machines ran out of ink. An elections official had to return to City Hall to get more.

Thanks Sam, thanks John. Here's the missing jacket cover. Due out this August, if the pandemic doesn't shut down the publishing industry as it seems to be doing to every other sector of our capitalist economy. This state of exception may be a long one.

Hey, I did a blurb for it yesterday referring directly to its relevance in our current "national emergency"! An amazing book.

Wonderful appreciations. And what a writer! In the tradition of Hofstadter & Lasch. We met in 1984 at the labor history conference that was going to change the world. Then the fog rolled in. Literally and metaphorically. Michael always stayed the course.

Est-ce la fin du néolibéralisme ?
Pour certains, le «pic» est passé ; pour d’autres, nous sommes sur un «plateau» : Comment s’y retrouver et comment imaginer l’après ?

Buckle up. It's going to be quite a political ride across the next few months.
The eerie coincidences between 1968 and 2024 make one wonder whether a third coincidence looms, notes
@glgerstle
. Will Democratic Party disarray at the convention in August hand the White House to the self-proclaimed party law and order?

Some reflections on what Ukraine may mean for the future of neoliberalism.
Is neoliberalism still a good idea, when a virus or regional war can collapse an entire world order? |
