The new manifesto on the left: L’Insurrection qui vient has sparked great controversy more about the authorship than the content. Today I was surprised to find it published by semiotic Princeton University Press, with a blurb by Glenn Beck:
“I am not calling for a ban on this book. It’s important that you read this book. [...] And let me tell you something: Don’t dismiss these people. Don’t dismiss them.”
Violating copyright, the text is also pdfed online.
From the 22nd of June to the 4th of July, with a break for a academic conference in Denver, Colorado, I was on the road with Yann and Julie. In previous posts I have made notice of our progress using google maps, tracking our 5750 km.
Maps locate but don’t do much to give a sense of the experience. I was too tired by the end of the day to provide more than a brainless post from whatever motel we ended up at. We did however record 22 audio commentaries, at least one on the morning of every day, plus some audio curiosities of the trip. The quality is not great. As it turns out, having the car radio on creates a lot of background noise on the recording – rookie mistakes.

I am an historian of recent Economics. I am interested in the impact the ideas of economists have had on public imagination and our democracies. I am a very occasional blogger, an even more erratic twitter. You might see me cycling in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
