#FollowTheMoney 🧵74/n Just finished listening to this 2part #TheDig podcast interview with Melinda Cooper about her book “Counterrevolution. Extravagance and Austerity in Public Finance”, and really cannot recommend it enough. A really excellent, grounded and stimulating account of the neoliberal “counterrevolution” as a deliberate project carried out over several decades by different political actors making fiscal choices that reshaped economy, values and politics

#FollowTheMoney 🧵75/n what i particularly appreciated: 1. Disaggregating each decade - how assets became the key focus of economic over time 2. How this links to a conservative political project - the family the key unit for multiple reasons 3. How asset economics the material basis for far right populism 4. Brilliant focus on changing construction worker politics,property speculators (Trump) and homeownership - construction such a key sector in all this https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-dig/id1043245989?i=1000731213819
