The Bizarre Debate Over Europe’s Air Conditioning (/Prof Gio | Giordano Scarciotti)
-
“The new supporters flocking to One Nation are not so much attracted to the policies but the emotion – and especially the chance to punish the major parties for their inaction in the past few decades, but particularly the past five or so years.
Regular readers of this column will be familiar with the warnings that Labor’s continual march to the right vacated by the Liberals (who have gone further right) will leave voters who have hoped for more disillusioned and angry.”
#AmyRemeikis Truth to Power once again. Nothing Amy talks about shocks me or anyone else having a second look at our current curcumstances, but she bring clarity to what I think is the public mood of the day. We’re not just angry about our major political parties’ drift to the right and lack of gumption, we’re also disheartened that we’re in ‘more of the same’ circumstances, nothing is moving forward. Successive govts have been about as progressive as an extinct dodo. Political change is all just a hopeless shift to the same #neoliberal nonsense that keeps us all in the same quagmire, up to our necks in the swamp with seemingly no way out of it.
Major parties, PHON and IND (I’m of two mind about the Greens — wishful thinking?) are political minnows content to make ripples in puddles when what we really need is a tsunami in the lake.

I recently read a couple of Elmore Leonard crime novels -- "Riding the Rap" and "Out of Sight".
I don't read that much contemporary fiction, nor do I have a deep background in crime fiction as a genre, so you'll have to make do with the remarks of a relatively ill informed reader.
I can see why Leonard is a both popular and respected writer. He knows how to structure a gripping narrative, and his dialogue rings true.
On a more critical note, I can imagine these two novels providing future students of US culture with material for a study of the anxieties and aspirations of middle class white men in an America seemingly riven with disorder.
In "Riding the Rap", Leonard's background as a writer of westerns comes across; the US marshal protagonist brings order to a lawless frontier by acting on his own initiative rather than a mere agent of a federal bureaucracy. Here though, the frontier is no longer in the west, but in Florida, and the threatening nonwhite others are no longer American Indians but a Puerto Rican hitman and a Black Bahamian immigrant who, as part of his assimilation to Black America, adopted an Islamic name.
Leonard's depiction of racial attitudes intersects with his representation of socioeconomic class distinctions. The two nonwhite criminals act for a while as henchmen to a drink and drug addled wealthy white playboy, whose kidnapping plan drives the plot forward. His exploitation of his senile mother's wealth and the revelation of her ugly racist attitudes point to the class and status tensions that exist between a decadent white upper class and the Appalachian coalmining heritage of the US marshal protagonist.
These racial and white populist themes recur in "Out of Sight", where middle aged, middle class, white bank robbers are contrasted with African American home invaders, the latter being characterized by their cruelty, treachery, idleness, lust, and greed.
In both novels the middle aged male protagonist beds a much younger female character; some readers might find these glimpses of the fantasy life of ageing men unintentionally ludicrous.
I think I'll reserve final judgment on Leonard until I've read another of his books. "Swag" is supposed to be good, but neither my local second bookstore nor my libraries have it available at the moment, and I don't want to pay full price for it.

Nobel prize for studies of how institutions are formed and affect prosperity
500 years of European colonialism, extractivism and the resource curse"Among countries colonized by European powers during the past 500 years, those that were relatively rich in 1500 are now relatively poor. We document this reversal using data on urbanization patterns and population density, which, we argue, proxy for economic prosperity. This reversal weighs against a view that links economic development to geographic factors. Instead, we argue that the reversal reflects changes in the institutions resulting from European colonialism. The European intervention appears to have created an “institutional reversal” among these societies, meaning that Europeans were more likely to introduce institutions encouraging investment in regions that were previously poor. This institutional reversal accounts for the reversal in relative incomes. We provide further support for this view by documenting that the reversal in relative incomes took place during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and resulted from societies with good institutions taking advantage of the opportunity to industrialize."

" #Thaksin's proposal sounds good on a pamphlet, but it #needsmorework to ensure #fairness for all. The use of #publicfunds to fulfil an #unreasonable #populist #policy where only certain groups will benefit is #inappropriate. The era of #populism, in which #politicians just make big #promises without showing clear plans & a source of funding, should be over. Populist policies must come with thorough #explanations of where the money will come from"

The enduring personality cult of Narendra Modi
The formula for the Indian prime minister’s brand of populism was developed in Gujarat, a “laboratory for Hindu nationalism”. (An excerpt from 'Gujarat Under Modi: Laboratory of Today’s India' by Christophe Jaffrelot (Hurst Publishers, February 2024).
