I tend to think that academia mostly attracts smart people who prize the freedom to work on things they find interesting and people they like,and are happy to trade off higher private sector pay against this freedom (which is also why bureaucratizing & politicizing academia is a bad idea)

🚨 New(ish) Publication Alert! Delighted to see my article Credit Claiming in the EU @thejop.bsky.social I explore a classic question for accountability in Europe: when and why do govs claim credit for the work of the EU and shift blame onto Brussels to avoid responsibility? doi.org/10.1086/732970

It is not clear that Mr. Trump’s image can be featured on a coin. An 1866 law enshrined a tradition that only deceased people could appear on U.S. currency to avoid the appearance that America was a monarchy. Trump admin is planning to do it anyway.

"In Europe, the technocrats who govern [...] share the same incomprehension at the offensive they are facing. They [fail to] acknowledge that Trump and the tech bros’ goal is to impose regime change on this side of the Atlantic as well."

Over the last century, many democracies have started down the road to autocracy.

Some managed to turn around. What did these 'U-turns' have in common?

Political economist @marinanord.bsky.social & colleagues' conclusions are clear and succinct.
