Emancipation in Precarious Times: Review of “Capitalism on Edge” by Albena Azmanova

I recently reviewed Albena Azmenova's excellent book, "Capitalism on Edge" for 3 Quarks Daily.

Here's the review.

The World After COVID-19

My latest article for 3 Quarks Daily: The World After COVID-19:

"But the changes will not be the same everywhere because the conditions and cultures vary so much across the world. It is impossible – even for a relatively ignorant armchair thinker with no skin in the game – to look at all the possibilities, so I will confine my wild speculations to geopolitics with a brief nod to cultural and social norms. Of course, if some sort of economic ventilator can be found to keep the world economy breathing until a solution emerges, things may go very differently, but that is the dull stuff of management and policy. This piece should be read as an exercise in imagination – a synopsis for a semi-dystopian novel that will never be written."
