Is an author of some really quality work I've read on c4ss.org his book length analysis of rent seeking comparing classical rent seeking to Cory Doctorow's "enshittification" ideas is particularly good. He needs support. So go download his PDF and then send some money his way via liberapay or patreon using links shown on his profile.

The Rentier Economy, Vulture Capital, and Enshittification

  The Rentier Economy, Vulture Capital, and Enshittification   There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of...

Center for a stateless society has a great commentary piece about #UBI

I actually like the point that's made about how people used to live in larger communal organizations and were more isolated from the need of wage labor, increasing labor bargaining power and this has been systematically dismantled

Basic Income: The Wonderful World That Might Have Been

Advocates of Basic Income have trotted out a lot of arguments for its benefits, but I never expected John Stossel (“Universal Basic Income Shows Why Giving People ‘Free Money’ Doesn’t Work,” Reason, October 9) to produce such a convincing one. When I was young, If I hadn’t needed to work to support myself, I wouldn’t...

What is a Tariff?

If you’re a Trump Voter, the Answer may Surprise you. What Trump Supporters think tariffs are For nearly a decade now, Donald Trump has been promoting tariffs as a tool of choice for solving America’s economic woes, at one point calling them “the greatest thing ever invented.” He has made them a central point of...

i highly recommend the newest #MutualExchangeRadio with Christopher Coyne and Abigail Hall on "How to Run Wars". obvious CWs apply, though it focusses mostly on the underlying social mechanics, not the individual acts of cruelty.

Mutual Exchange Radio: Mikayla Novak & Akiva Malamet on Gender as a Discovery Process

This episode brings Austrian economics into the gender identity discussion. We get into a lot of messy and fascinating questions about gender, identity, and social structures.  Read the paper here:  Mikayla Novak is senior fellow with the F. A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. She is the author of Inequality: An Entangled Political Economy Perspective (2018) and Freedom in Contention: Social Movements and Liberal Political Economy (2021). Her research work has been published in a range of academic journals, including Research Policy, Constitutional Political Economy, Review of Austrian Economics, Journal of Institutional Economics, and Journal of Public Finance and Public Choice. Mikayla’s research interests include Austrian and evolutionary economics, public choice, entangled political economy, economic sociology, public finance, and regulatory economics. And listeners will recognize Akiva Malamet, a returning guest to the show. Akiva previously appeared our June 2020 episode of Mutual Exchange Radio to discuss his work on Nationalism and Identity Formation. He is a contributing editor at Unpopulist and an MA candidate at Queens University, and a long-time friend of C4SS.

i've been reading a lot of the "Anarchy and Democracy" symposium on #C4SS recently:

https://c4ss.org/content/49206

some of the preliminary texts are very long. one is like a whole book by David Graeber, another a series of articles on CrimethInc.

but i think it's worth a look, especially for anarcho-curious.

June C4SS Mutual Exchange Symposium: Anarchy and Democracy

Mutual Exchange is the Center for a Stateless Society’s effort to achieve mutual understanding through dialogue. Following one of the most divisive Presidential elections in recent American history and a dangerous victor’s contested ascension to power, the political climate is one of intense ideological strife and disagreement.
