Nice to see that I've got Thomas Piketty to write approvingly (albeit briefly) about Rudolf Meidner. From a special issue of Analyse & Kritik on Piketty's *Capital and Ideology*. Piketty's paper is open access; happy to send my paper to anyone interested. https://t.co/R2sYKt7cVO https://t.co/EmcK1ckinm

The Buddha of Suburbia

Hanif Kureishi
Martin O'NeillMartin O'Neill

Very sad news to read. Sending best wishes to Hanif Kureishi & hopes for as full a recovery as possible. I have a vivid memory of a rapt reading of The Buddha of Suburbia on an overnight coach trip from Montpelier to Calais back in 1994. I’d never read anything like it before. https://t.co/I4yCSMnZiU
