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
