Very honored that my book "Traders, Speculators, and Captains of Industry," is a shortlisted finalist for the @asanews.bsky.social Political Sociology Section's Distinguished Contribution to Scholarship Book Award! And it is currently 25% off on the @harvardpress.bsky.social website! See info below:
Today, Noam Maggor (@maggor.bsky.social) concludes our symposium on @jasonbjackson.bsky.social's *Traders, Speculators, and Captains of Industry.*
Although rooted in Indian history, he argues, the book’s thoroughly global-comparative mode of analysis allows it to resonate far beyond South Asia.
Earlier this week, the University of Chicago announced a new minor in Law and Political Economy. Yes, really. And, yes, the good kind of political economy!

I'm in The Blog today on the turmoil in higher education finance. 🧵
The Trump Admin is simultaneously trying to get things back to normal (pre-COVID status quo, but more punitive) and to dismantle the whole system (selling off the portfolio, closing Dept of Ed)
