Its UN General Assembly Week, and Sudan will be a hot topic. As I argue below, its probably the last chance the UN will get to even discuss the country, as by this time next year there may be little left of it - unless countries act now. engelsbergideas.com/notebook/the-l…

I am thrilled to announce that my book 'Central Europe: The Death of a Civilization and the Life of an Idea' will be out with Hurst Publishers next year. It explores the rise, fall, and strange resurrection of some place called Central Europe from the 18th c. to the present day!

Understanding how science, knowledge & the brain work is a bigger story than the subtopic of how economics works. Hayek played a central role in solving this bigger problem—undoing the neo-Kantian paradigm in the process—and solving the economic sub-problem is just a sub-story.

My book on Vienna - in German "Stadt der Ideen" - has won one of Austria's big prizes, the Bruno Kreisky political book of the year. Its a tribute to Red Vienna as the hard right closes in on central Europe!! I am honoured. buecher.at/bruno-kreisky-…

Gave a lecture recently at the great Institute for Science and Technology Austria, on the urgent need for a big dollop more of Vienna's 'critical rationalism' and scientific methodology in these days of bots and misinformation. Introduced by Martin Hetzer. youtube.com/watch?v=L6b8rx…
