Sam Friedman The Economist Mixed review from The Economist means the book hit the right notes. :)
Vladimir Bortun Aaron Bastani I wasn't in Labour Together, I worked on a project training Labor campaigners with them
Labour Beyond Cities Aaron Bastani You said yourself you were in Labour Together. My comment was about the role of this group not you personally.
Vladimir Bortun Hardly mate. I ran several party endorsed campaign events in 2019 working for free, whilst someone who now works for Momentum took credit for my hard work. Aaron Bastani spoke at one of them. I know the twitterari love wading in on things they know nowt about though so carry on.
Labour Beyond Cities Remarkable lack of self-reflection on your behalf. You were part of a group that played a key role in the construction of that 'unelectability'.
Aurelien Mondon Fully agree with this. I think Gaza and other crucial issues show that there may be many academics who are also radicals but not that many radical academics.
Muneeb Salman St John's College Thank you Muneeb, that's really kind of you!
Vladimir Bortun St John's College Congratulations, and keep winning! Your works are always very inspiring
billrobs Vladimir Bortun Thomas 🇦🇲 Curtis Daly Aaron Bastani Novara Media Oh - you've got a slam dunk here. Bankers got to gamble and either win - or get bailed out by the government. Shameful. This was a total fail in terms of governance. But the solution is better regulation: not replacing the entire financial system with government and gulags.
Alex Napier Holland 🦍 Vladimir Bortun Thomas 🇦🇲 Curtis Daly Aaron Bastani Novara Media Who bailed out the current model in 2008?
billrobs Vladimir Bortun Thomas 🇦🇲 Curtis Daly Aaron Bastani Novara Media That's roughly as logical as, 'Last week someone was stabbed in our capitalist system - therefore capitalism is bad'. Yes. In 2008 a bad thing happened. Significant changes were made to the regulatory environment that investment banks operate within as a response.
