Our master's programs provide the training needed to contribute to serious, progressive policy analysis in NYC and beyond. It is even for the math-phobic! Our curriculum helps students without an economics/STEM background build the skills needed to succeed in our coursework. 2/

Forgot about this book. Would be interesting to see a review essay on this and the recent Marxism in America book.

Gets my goat when Marx's critical theory is said to entail reducing natural appearances to the social relations that create them. As if the whole point isn't the criticism of these social relations and the society they entail....

“Oasis’ rise meant .. . . The c*nts taking over. The ‘proper’ homophobic mildly racist lads. The rejection of ‘poofiness’ stylistically, the reassertion of the English Rock Defence League’s tiny-minded ideas abou’real’ ‘proper’ music” https://t.co/oTc2Bvv5vp

The Gallagher brothers of the band Oasis famously grew up in working-class Manchester. But they were also children of Thatcherite England, and it shows. Under a thin veneer of class consciousness, their music always glamorized individual ambition.
