As my book will argue, demanding good things once drove politics in the US. Real things happened as a result but such an audacious politics was not to last. The vibes of morning in America replaced the fierce demand for a New Deal. So here we are.
I feel like so much of politics has turned into “well, if you give a mouse a cookie…” politics, without interrogating the fact that we actually deserve food and a warm, comfortable place to sleep and free hours in the day.

I would read 10,000 words on this. I really did not understand or appreciate book production until I started seeing some really dreadful ones in the last few years.
Very here for these shots being fired. I know that academic publishing is a tough business and margins are tight, but the precipitous drop in production quality across the board in recent years (without a corresponding drop in prices!) has really been something to behold.
I recently got a volume from Brill's series, Nag Hammadi and Manichaean Studies, and the poor quality of the paper and binding would be surprising at any price: much more so at over $200. Caveat lector et emptor.
