#FollowTheMoney 
76/n i have just ordered the book (Counterrevolution) - i really feel it’s so important to get a grounded understanding of how this world that we now all live in was created - and, as Melinda Cooper brings out so clearly: none of this was inevitable, it was all done, bit by bit, on purpose. This doesn’t make it any easier to undo necessarily but understanding all this is surely a first, key step.
Here also Katrina Forrester’s review in the LRB

#FollowTheMoney 75/n what i particularly appreciated:
1. Disaggregating each decade - how assets became the key focus of economic over time
2. How this links to a conservative political project - the family the key unit for multiple reasons
3. How asset economics the material basis for far right populism
4. Brilliant focus on changing construction worker politics,property speculators (Trump) and homeownership - construction such a key sector in all this

#FollowTheMoney 74/n Just finished listening to this 2part #TheDig podcast interview with Melinda Cooper about her book “Counterrevolution. Extravagance and Austerity in Public Finance”, and really cannot recommend it enough. A really excellent, grounded and stimulating account of the neoliberal “counterrevolution” as a deliberate project carried out over several decades by different political actors making fiscal choices that reshaped economy, values and politics

.@FTM_nl #followthemoney heeft ontdekt wat #boodschappen in Nederland nog duurder maakt - in het programma Kassa werd dit verder uitgelegd.
Het lijkt erop dat de grote #levensmiddelen fabrikanten de markt opdelen en dat #supermarkten hierdoor onder druk worden gezet in ons land.
Als ik dit soort dingen lees / zie, is mijn cynische reactie tegenwoordig 'leve het kapitalisme!' (en het neo-liberalisme

Why is it that the world's tech companies currently seem hell-bent on *creating* the most terrible dystopia possible?
Despite hiring more agents and expanding detention centers, ICE deportations have dropped in 2025. Critics say the Trump administration’s tough immigration stance isn’t matching actual enforcement outcomes.
