This is a new blog space for me. I am editor-in-chief of an academic journal, Class, Race and Corporate Power, which I’ve run since 2013 alongside my Managing Editor Nelson Bass and my Associate Editor David Gibbs. We devote the journal to a critique of corporate power. The goal is to try to bring together academics and activists to think strategically about how to build social movements capable of articulating the interests of workers, the poor and the dispossessed. I will write about the political economy of capitalism on this blog, extending the themes of my academic journal in a shortened, more easily digested form.
I will also use this site to ruminate about my other passions: baseball, film, literature and jazz. Whatever mood strikes will be explored here, with specific attention to contemporary news and events.
