Heterodox economists claim that they're systematically shut out of top econ journals. So I have a genuine question: What are the best recent heterodox papers that deserved publication in a top journal but were rejected? @IsabellaMWeber @devikadutt @DanielaGabor

3. transferring resources that are currently saved by the rich (at the margin) to government transfers or direct government consumption reduces the capital stock. This might be useful in times of r<g and secular stagnation, but current evidence suggests capital is scarce

Peter Thomas, the Marxist theorist best known for his work on Antonio Gramsci, has died. He restored the political edge to Gramsci’s theory of hegemony and saw his own scholarship as part of the Left’s fight for power. jacobin.com/2026/10/peter-th…

Ich wohne in einer Wohnung von Vonovia und muss mit meiner Miete literally den Ferrari von Aktionär*innen finanzieren. Und es gibt Leute, die das für gerecht halten 😂

GM just announced the biggest stock buyback in automotive industry history. Instead of investing in their workers or new product lines, GM executives are robbing from the future to pay themselves and their shareholders today. Stock buybacks should be illegal.

Muslims never invaded Christian countries. But Christian countries have invaded and are still invading Muslim countries. We know who wants peace and who loves war.

It’s amazing how not one person has refuted Marx in the thousands of interactions I’ve had on twitter. It’s always an attack on his background or lifestyle. I’ve yet to hear one good faith, well structured attempt at refuting Marxism or dialectical/historical materialism.

Very good explanation from one of the smartest French economists of why Mélenchon can cancel all French sovereign debt that was outstanding as of July 1st this year without any negative consequences, as long as he promises it’s a one-time default.

For those of you who are still being mislead by the fake news of the execution in Saudi. Here is what really happened. Now judge it yourself. Nazrul Islam and Sithi Akter, two Bangladeshi nationals employed as cleaning workers for the Bin Laden Group in Mecca, became romantically involved while commuting to work. Nazrul lived in a residential villa in Hayyal Iskan, while Sithi resided in Batha Kuraysh. In May 2023, the two engaged in illicit relations in a secluded stairwell room between Gates 85 and 87 of Masjidul Haram. Nazrul had asked an Indian acquaintance to stand guard downstairs, but the friend secretly recorded the encounter on video. Later, when the Indian national attempted to make advances toward Sithi and was rejected, he leaked the video online. The video quickly went viral, prompting immediate intervention by Saudi authorities, who successfully apprehended all three individuals. The Indian national received a 20-year prison sentence for recording and distributing the footage. Nazrul Islam and Sithi Akter were detained immediately following their arrest in May 2023. Nazrul had originally arrived in Saudi Arabia from Bangladesh between November 10 and 13, 2022. Following his arrest in May 2023, he remained incarcerated throughout a lengthy three-and-a-half to four-year judicial process leading up to October 2026. Throughout this period, official protocol dictated that the Saudi government notify the employer (sponsor) rather than foreign government authorities. Various rumors circulated online falsely claiming that the individuals were pilgrims performing Umrah or that the charges stemmed merely from public displays of affection. While the defendants were unmarried, the severity of the legal outcome was not solely based on the act of zina (adultery). Because the offense took place within the sacred precincts of Masjidul Haram, the court determined that they had severely violated the sanctity and honor of Islam's holiest mosque. Consequently, senior judges of the Supreme Court handed down the death penalty as an exemplary punishment aligned with Quranic principles and the Sunnah.

His ancestors died on the Marne, at Verdun, at Passchendaele and at Dunkirk for this.

The president called an African country a ‘shit house’ on camera. I remember the old days - his first term! - when calling African countries ‘shit holes’ was a huge controversy that had to be denied. We have normalized his Neo-Nazism now. Lucky us.

3-Step Plan To Save Social Security: (That could actually work) Raise the employer portion from 6.2% to 8.8% Make the employer pay on 100% of the income Don’t change benefits for anyone If you do these three things, we close the 75-year shortfall completely

Wow, one whole share of a company which Elon Musk owns 6.4 billion shares of and which loses money and is planning to lose trillions more on Moon and Mars missions that have absolutely no return on investment. Also your kid can't touch it until they turn 18

Every day we are fighting to prevent French stats from looking like this.

So if two people were caught having illicit sex in a church people will just look, laugh and pass? 🤔
