How do digital platforms like Deliveroo and Uber Eats protect consumers from unsafe food? And how do they reconcile ethical imperatives to care for food safety with their commercial drive to promote consumer choice? Find out in my new OA Journal of Cultural Economy article: doi.org/10.1080/1753...

My new paper on "Economic sociology and the far-right" is out in the @jcultecon.bsky.social ! How do businesses promote the far-right? How does the far-right transform accumulation regimes? How is the new reactionary, post-neoliberal regime embedded in tools of surveillance and control?

I'd add that @jcultecon.bsky.social is open to comment pieces & analyses of the present conjuncture of this kind, under the excellent stewardship of @busedoyu.bsky.social. There's no "party line", other than a need to be in (maybe critical) dialogue with the kind of thinking the journal foregrounds.

We don’t think so. It’s possible we are, but only among the type of papers that we desk reject automatically (most often because they’re cultural economics)

The black box of academic publishing is dark inside indeed - and I've not even mentioned Manucript Central yet - but it also contains other academics doing their best as editors to steward your work with care and respect.

Editors are trying their best to maintain the scholarly infrastructures of knowledge exchange. It's not easy or feasible for most to set up open access elsewhere. Our journals, whatever their myriad faults, have helped sustain fields over years and decades.

Peer reviewers are exhausted. It's common to spend *months* inviting reviewers, getting refusals, inviting more, maybe 12 or more, then 2 agree but 1 doesn't complete, so you go again. That's why your paper is in limbo. I'm very sorry, it's awful, but it's also an untenable academic labour issue.
