New technologies don't necessarily mean new politics. To understand why, check out this great new book on political party use of new information and communication techs by @NandoRosenblatt @rafaelpineiror and coauthors:.

Glad to know #ageofdiscontent is helping people understand what's happening. less glad to know it's still very relevant to US politics.

NIMBYs love weaponizing making the perfect the enemy of the good. Generous social housing policy > market housing policy sure, but market > ridiculous antisocial current housing market and zoning rules.

So many people, w/o a hint of shame, will pretend to not see any difference between.a) Giving rich people more money and hoping they do socially beneficial things with it.b) Allowing rich people to do a thing with the money they already have that we know is socially beneficial.

So happy to report that I'll be spending the Spring 2025 semester (along with Hank) as a Fulbright Distinguished Scholar at the University of Manchester! So excited to start an extremely important project on democratization and popular organization with @NandoRosenblatt.

Great article about economic insecurity and its causal role in populism! Interesting that the effect on right-wing populism is clearer than on the left-wing populism. And of course it's always nice to see outside support for our work in Age of Discontent @RachelNavarre.

Excited to share our article just out in @BJPolS #OpenAccess. The first meta-analysis of the evidence of a causal association between economic #insecurity and #populism provides a definite answer confirming that economic insecurity is a robust cause. @ManuSeral @alexdmoise
