"South Sudan has recently — belatedly — received some vaccines. But distribution infrastructure is so weak that “tarmac-to-arm” is an eye-popping $22 a person, excluding purchase price of vax” @gilliantett on need to get real about global vaccination push ft.com/content/fcd037… https://t.co/hTZKaVpq94

"The idea of a green investment rule in the EU has been under discussion for some time, but it is viewed with intense suspicion in frugal capitals, not least given the difficulties of accurately defining what constitutes green investment.” @Sam1Fleming ft.com/content/44871a… https://t.co/rB8UmGav0s

@grahamwjenkins For those outside the defense sphere I promise you it is pretty f***ing mysterious. Eager to read other accounts of this entire phase. Do you have recommendations?

In their paper, the eight fiscal hawks led by dutch, Austrians and NL indicate that they are willing to see the EU's fiscal rules reapplied without changes once the suspension ends, probably at the start of 2023. ft.com/content/ba20ed… https://t.co/nnRzCcVGUa

@vpalsmith33 @BungaCast One of my project for the Chartbook on Shutdown series is to take on the Brenner reading of 2020. Escalating Plunder and Neofeudalism seem to be key. More to follow.

@voices_hive NOTE TO SELF: READ MORE DELEUZE.

@LadLabour @BungaCast Yeah. Sorry. Lapavitsas I ain’t. But agree that he would be a great guest for the Bunga team to have on. I’d definitely tune in for that.

@voices_hive I recently discovered the concept of the “non-finito”. Really into that. adamtooze.substack.com/about

@jwassers @GavJacobson Completely agree. I am sure there must be earlier examples in the 19th century.

In medias res: Frequently asked question: how did you write a history like Shutdown in real time? (Short) answer: We all do, that's all we ever do. The more aware of it we are, the better. Chartbook on Shutdown #2 adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-on… https://t.co/bqlxZc8YZz

"There is a hierarchy of grief and I know my place in it. I lost no one. I never fought in the wars that followed. I never came home from those wars missing a limb or a friend. I just stumbled around lower Manhattan for two hours.” @bhgreeley ft.com/content/ca4a25… https://t.co/FyTcgRRSjF

@meadwaj @davies_will @poltheoryother I would say that you need to read hierarchy and introduce (rather than impose) structure.

@davies_will @meadwaj @poltheoryother Keynes, Keynes, Keynes … v. Schmitt v. Weber v. “Orthodox” economics.

@davies_will @poltheoryother @stefeich Seriously … I find what is normally made of Weber excruciating (Bielefeld school, pol sci realism). It took reading Radkau’s mind- blowning/mindblown biography of Weber to be able to relate at all. https://t.co/zkQdpoDcdV

@meadwaj @davies_will @poltheoryother Hi James more indebted to a loose reading of Althusser and his conception of “complex totality” by way of Stuart Hall et al Policing the Crisis. H/t w/t @BarnabyRaine (btw where are you Barnaby?)

@davies_will @poltheoryother “Allure of dark times”: Fair (and nice) but as @stefeich and I outlined in the piece below, Weber and the (mis)reading of Weber as realism is a warning as much as an example. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… https://t.co/WRpoM4sNTD
