Marx's Theory of Crisis
Simon ClarkeNate Holdren@CoreyRobin @NathanJRobinson @SethAckerman The sadly recently departed Simon Clarke's got a great book (unconscionably out of print!) that establishes this, Marx's Theory of Crisis. PDF's on his home page here: https://t.co/Tow3YhDZx4 He also argues there are conceptual ambiguities about frop as cause vs effect of crisis.

Bad Faith: Teachers, Liberalism, and the Origins of McCarthyism
Andrew FefferNate HoldrenSuddenly reminded of Andrew Feffer's excellent Bad Faith, on liberals persecuting communists in the mid20th century US. The book ends with reflection on how one result of that was a hemming in of social/political imagination, a big lowering of expectations. Definitely one to read

Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art
Scott McCloudNate Holdren@berlinALo @jc_leonard I don't think I've mentioned this - my oldest kid sort of out of the blue has started making comics, mostly fanfic kind of stuff. They're really funny. She was working from the Scott McCloud Understanding Comics book for examples on panel size, placement, pacing. I just got her

What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets
Michael J. SandelNate Holdren@emptinessthreat @RoxismMomism @cozyunoist Thank you both! You may know but Viviana Zelizer has written on cultural values of money, and Margaret Radin has a book on how that relates to commodification. Contested Commodification, maybe? Also Michael Sandel, What Money Can't Buy. I find those frustrating because I'm a bit

Governing Financialization: The Tangled Politics of Financial Liberalization in Britain
Jack CopleyNate Holdren@Prada_Meinhof Burnham's great. Since you're interested in his stuff, I think you'd like Jack Copley's book Governing Financialization, if you've not read it already. Jack also did a good thread of related work, some of it by former students of Burnham: https://t.co/RAbAFJGcZ7

Power
Michel FoucaultNate Holdren@rochellehd Michel Foucault investigated power as a dispersed and constitutive social phenomenon and The Jesus Lizard turned out a series of independent records filled with scathing guitar-driven pseudo-industrial noise, the choice to make here is really obvious!

From Bondage to Contract: Wage Labor, Marriage, and the Market in the Age of Slave Emancipation
Amy Dru StanleyNate Holdren@emptinessthreat @RoxismMomism @cozyunoist sectarianly marxist but I think there's something to what they're all doing. Oh! There's a *great* book, From Bondage to Contract by Amy Dru Stanley, on cultural and legal changes in meaning of markets in the aftermath of the end of slavery. Great chapters on marriage and sexwork
