Reading this guy's book for the first time and it's 🤯🤯🤯. Anthropology peeps, just curious how well has his work stood up?

@leaypi.bsky.social delivering the Dewey Lecture yesterday! It was a banger about freedom, capitalism and impersonal domination.

I grew up in NYC. As a child of a single mom who worked tirelessly to support me, whose career fell apart later in life and was on workfare when I went to college, hard not to feel like the city chewed me up and spat me out. But I guess I can call myself a new yorker again.

Claus Offe, the great German Marxist sociologist died yesterday. His essays collection Disorganized Capitalism is so good! I'm obsessed with "2 Logics of Collective Action", a rejoinder to Mancur Olson's neo-classical treatment of unions. "The Political Economy of the Labor Market" is also a banger!

So so sad to learn about the death of Jonathan Lear. His work on Aristotle and Freud was formative for me. He was a model of philosophical intelligence and curiosity. More importantly he was a human human, with rare integrity and sharp judgment. It's hard to imagine the world without him in it.
