Cultural theory was right about the death of the author. It was just a few decades early — Crooked Timber

There’s a great anecdote about Roman Jakobson, the structuralist theorist of language, in Bernard Dionysius Geoghegan’s book, Code: From Information Theory to French Theory. For Jakobson, and for other early structuralist and post-structuralist thinkers, language, cybernetic theories of information, and economists’ efforts to understand how the economy worked all went together : By aligning the refined conceptual systems of interwar Central Euro…Read Article

The mug — Crooked Timber

I’ve owned this mug for twenty-five years now. Bought in the gift shop of the Metropolitan Opera in New York on my first ever trip to America, which I doubt I shall ever visit again. The mug, in art nouveau style, celebrates Pucchini’s La Bohème, which we might have seen there. I forget what we saw from the cheap seats, high up. The colours are badly faded after a quarter-century of machine washing, which suggests that its manufacture was cheap,…Read Article

Whatever happened to Romney Republicans? — Crooked Timber

Have they changed, or just become their worst selves While Trump is unpopular with a majority of Americans, his support among Republicans remains solid. That’s despite blatant corruption, fascist policies and a failure to deliver any of the economic benefits he promised. Faced with this depressing fact, the standard New York Times response has been to send an intrepid reporter to “Trump Country” (rural Kentucky or Midwestern diners) to find out …Read Article

The Protestant Work Ethic, Libertarianism, and the Welfare State — Crooked Timber

Many thanks to Hannah for her beautiful post on George Eliot’s Silas Marner and the evacuation of moral purpose from the Protestant work ethic. That resonates with Hijacked, my latest book, which traces the history of the work ethic from 17th century Puritan theologians, through the economic theory and policy debates of the 18th and 19th centuries, to today. I argue that the work ethic split into two versions during the Industrial Revolution. On…Evacuations · United States Read Article

Open letter to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on the skewed selection process for head of European Data Protection Supervisor — Crooked Timber

Hi CT readers, I’m publishing this open letter here so there’s a public record of the letter I’ve co-written and signed about what looks, walks and talks like a good old-fashioned Brussels stitch-up aimed at weakening the EU organisation that oversees data protection in EU institutions. Thank you, Maria (Comments welcome, as with any other post.) 19 June 2025, by e-mail From: Dr. Maria Farrell, Prof. Douwe Korff and Prof. Ian Brown. To: Preside…Ursula Von Der Leyen · Brussels Read Article

Review of Patriarchy Inc by Cordelia Fine — Crooked Timber

“When diversity, equity and inclusion become ‘threats’ to the order of society,” Judith Butler wrote recently, “progressive politics in general is held responsible for every social ill.” Authoritarians are empowered to oppress vulnerable people in the name of “the nation, the natural order, the family, society or civilization itself”. The links between sacrificing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and upholding patriarchal white supremacy ar…Read Article

Here's How inDrive Drivers are Leading the Way on Empathy

Ride-hailing services are often seen as tools for convenience; however, many drivers on the inDrive platform treat each trip as an opportunity to demonstrate character, professionalism, and genuine care for passengers, even in unexpected situations. Muhammad Olatunji, a driver on the ride-hailing app, had just wrapped up a long-distance trip from Lekki to Festac late at night. It was his final ride of the day, and he was already headed home when…Ibadan · Ibadan See the Story

Platform work, redux — Crooked Timber

A few days ago, I experienced a strange auditive mix-up. My favorite German radio program, Deutschlandfunk, sent a documentary about “platform workers”. Uber, Deliveroo, etc., you might think, but no. This was about workers on oil platforms in Norway: about the oil boom in the North Sea, about the hard work on the oil rigs and as diver, about the many long-term health issues that arouse, and about the long battle for recognition and compensation…Norway · Norway Read Article
