Drawing on 37 interviews with Black and Muslim Italians living in Britain or returned to Italy, this article shows that meritocracy is rarely invoked as a coherent ideology but works as practical, embodied common sense about the world order.

Har skrevet lidt om, hvorfor fagbevægelsens frasalg af Arbejdernes Landsbank kan ses om en større bevægelse mod en fagbevægelse, der lever af sine investeringer frem for sine medlemmer.

Bankfusion er endnu et søm i fagbevægelsens ligkiste
Fagbevægelsens økonomi er i stigende grad afhængig af investeringer frem for medlemmerne. Det risikerer at stille bevægelsen på kapitalens side i stedet for lønmodtagernes.

Similar to its precursor (smart cities), the real money in these speculative projects lies not in any eventual product but in the ecosystem of summits, workshops, and gatherings that circulate the idea and monetize the fiction itself under the pretense of design or planning.
Yet another example of what Michael Lewis has described as “an experiment in capitalism with too much money”. Searching for this kind of ‘spatial fix’ not new, as @quinnslobodian.com describes in Crack-up Capitalism.
