#FollowTheMoney 🧵76/n i have just ordered the book - i really feel it’s so important to get a grounded, understanding of how this world that we bow all live in was created - and, as Melinda Cooper brings out so clearly: none of this was inevitable, it was all done, bit by bit, on purpose. This doesn’t make it any easier to undo necessarily but understanding all this is surely a first, key step.

Here also Katrina Forrster’s review in the LRB

#FollowTheMoney 🧵75/n what i particularly appreciated:
1. Disaggregating each decade - how assets became the key focus of economic over time
2. How this links to a conservative political project - the family the key unit for multiple reasons
3. How asset economics the material basis for far right populism
4. Brilliant focus on changing construction worker politics,property speculators (Trump) and homeownership - construction such a key sector in all this

#FollowTheMoney 🧵74/n Just finished listening to this 2part #TheDig podcast interview with Melinda Cooper about her book ā€œCounterrevolution. Extravagance and Austerity in Public Financeā€, and really cannot recommend it enough. A really excellent, grounded and stimulating account of the neoliberal ā€œcounterrevolutionā€ as a deliberate project carried out over several decades by different political actors making fiscal choices that reshaped economy, values and politics

.@FTM_nl #followthemoney heeft ontdekt wat #boodschappen in Nederland nog duurder maakt - in het programma Kassa werd dit verder uitgelegd.

Het lijkt erop dat de grote #levensmiddelen fabrikanten de markt opdelen en dat #supermarkten hierdoor onder druk worden gezet in ons land.

Als ik dit soort dingen lees / zie, is mijn cynische reactie tegenwoordig 'leve het kapitalisme!' (en het neo-liberalisme šŸ™„).

Remember two things:

1. The purpose of a system is what it does.

2. Follow the money.
