The Disney+ era was another example of Doctor Who becoming an indigestible mix of 60+ years of lore and canon, making the show feel old.

Note: I have not published blog posts about my academic papers over the past few years. To ensure that my blog contains a more comprehensive record of my published papers and to surface these for folks who missed them, I will be periodically (re)publishing blog posts about some “older” published projects. This post is closely …

The gilt market is mendicant, not master. Why we must stop our devotion to an empty throne and remove this phantom veto on democracy.
The 2026 Oxfam report, Our Unequal Sweden, issues a damning indictment of the nation’s economic trajectory, systematically dismantling the enduring myth of Swedish egalitarianism. It reveals a society undergoing a profound and deliberate schism, where escalating mass vulnerability exists in parallel with unprecedented wealth consolidation among a tiny elite. The empirical evidence is overwhelming and … … Continue reading
More Epstein documents have been dumped, and they’re atrocious. It seems like most of the US elite was involved. There are two reasons for this. One is that people who are super-powerful and super-rich feel like ordinary morality and laws don’t apply to them, and rape and torture and pedophilia are, to them, an ultimate […]
. What yours truly most admires about Ann Pettifor is her ability to cut through economic abstraction with clarity and moral purpose. She identifies what most mainstream economists miss: that finance is not a mere technical side note, but the very arena where power and real-world consequences collide. Her Minsky-Keynes-inspired analysis of the financial system … … Continue reading

by Koray Caliskan* Over the past few decades, the idea of performativity has quietly reshaped how many of us think about markets, identities, technologies, and institutions. The basic intuition is simple but powerful: descriptions and representations (scientific or not) do not merely reflect the world; under the right conditions, they help bring it into being. […]

Hey, patriot.
It’s been a week.
As ICE spreads terror through the streets, and Teacup Eichmann presided over the murder of yet another innocent civilian in Minneapolis (bringing this year’s known death toll up to eight), I know a lot of you are struggling to recognize me lately.
And while I don’t know what’s going to happen next either, I want to at least assuage your fears that I’m turning into Nazi Germany or Franco’s Spain or some other scary, distant place torn from your history books. Because that’s not what’s happening.
Baby, look into my star-spangled eyes. It’s me.
I’m your America.
Maybe you didn’t recognize me without my hood up.
I’ve been brutalizing civilians in my streets ever since I was built on stolen land.
Reading the corporate media over the past few days, you might come away with the impression that national (and international) outrage over state-sanctioned terror and killings of civilians in the streets of Minneapolis has led to the Trump administration moderating…
