@rike_reimer Thank you. Absolutely indispensable and life-changing. So fortunate to be able to benefit. Should be no taboos and available for everyone who needs it.

@DuncanWeldon Gives you something to aim at. And something you dont feel bad about hitting.
@William_C_Meade Everything you can get hold of by Michael Geyer and Charles Bright. Especially jstor.org/stable/2168200… And cambridge.org/core/journals/…
@pbardossy @atbwebb Cheers. Thanks for the mention. But, yup, Adam it is. Though Paul is very nice too.
@policytensor @M_C_Klein Dont disagree at all. In a different context I would have made that point explicitly. You convinced me on this entirely.
@grimmer_solem Great book. Truly fascinating. Will link to it next week.

@leee_harris @PrincetonUPress KNOCKS Sebald into a cocked hat. But then I am no fan!
@leninology For one thing, her relationship to the worker/labour is oblique.
Im kinda curious about its impact on the Salvage Collective @leninology et al. I’ve googled but can’t find the trace. twitter.com/adam_tooze/sta…
@leee_harris @PrincetonUPress And her's is some kind of double bluff. She says she is "showing not telling", but, in fact, book is studded with so many “tells”! It is almost like a conceptual algebra with lots of QED passages. It is almost musical (One of her analogies) with refrains. Dont fight it, I figure.
@leee_harris @PrincetonUPress 🙂 On the second reading I am enjoying it almost entirely metaphorically. Its like a lush conceptual and methodological toolkit.
@KatharinaPistor @PrincetonUPress Oh Katherina have it as an xmas present! Its mind-blowing. You will love it … I’m pretty sure. H/t @nina_econ

Deluge started in medias res in 1916. That left at least one reader wondering: “what about 1914? Why is he not talking about 1914. I bet it’s because he’s a liberal and that’s a touchy subject."

Far from 1914 neatly aligning democracies v. Autocracies, advanced v. backward combatants, an essential driver of mobilization was fact that smart progressive people could make arguments for/against both sides.

How you read 1914 is crucial to orientating yourself in 20th century. In Chartbook #57 I argue for “age of imperialism” as crucial frame, stressing novelty, violence and pressure of historicity. V. More generalized “clash of Empires” or hegemonic crisis. adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-57… https://t.co/T1fMyrh7RT

Chartbook #57 just dropped. I’ve been thinking about 1914, age of imperialism and hegemony. I think @BuddyYakov may appreciate this. Joining up some dots. One for the history peeps this. And #2 in the Anderson series. adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-57… https://t.co/RsmA2bpkXX
