The zenith of Wikipedia?

"Ricardo was followed by two able and well-trained pupils — Marx and Marshall. Meanwhile English history had gone right round the corner, and landlords were not any longer the question. Now it was capitalists. Marx turned Ricardo’s argument round this way: Capitalists are very much like landlords. And Marshall turned it round the other way: Landlords are very much like capitalists. Just round the corner in English history you see two bicycles of the very same make — one being ridden off to the left and the other to the right."

"Keynes says the crisis comes about through a lack of ‘effective demand’, namely an unaccountable fall in investment and consumption and this causes profits and wages to fall. Marx says: let’s start with profits. If profits fall, then capitalists would stop investing, lay off workers and wages would drop and consumption would fall. Then there would be a lack of effective demand, as Keynesians like to put it, but this would not be due to a drop in ‘animal spirits’, or ‘confidence’ (we often hear that phrase from economists: ‘a lack of confidence’), or even due to ‘too high’ interest rates, but because profits are down. The problem lies in the nature of capitalist production, not in the finance sector."

• 20% of renter households in Richmond were threatened with eviction in 2016
• Of those actually evicted, the median amount owed was $686
• Judgments issued in majority white neighborhoods were far less common
• Mr. Desmond’s eviction calculations are probably conservative: They include only households that touched the legal process, not those in which people moved with an informal warning

CrimethInc on the rise and fall of La ZAD.

"On January 17, 2018, the French government announced on television, via the voice of Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, that it had given up on pursuing the highly controversial project of building a new airport at Notre-Dame-des-Landes (NDDL). This decision capped five decades of political, economic, legal, environmental, and personal struggle. The airport was to be located approximately 30 kilometers north of the city of Nantes in western France; instead, the site became la ZAD—the Zone a Défendre (Zone To Defend). What began as a small protest camp grew into a world-famous space of autonomous experimentation that lasted almost nine years."

I'm a fan of Mischief Brew and Erik Petersen, and I just discovered this tribute to his life and music. From the video description:

"Opening with Stan Rogers' The Mary Ellen Carter, The Folks Show on 88.5 WXPN invited the friends and family of Erik Petersen of Mischief Brew to the show to play some covers pay tribute to him. Show opens at around the four minute mark. Songs are interspersed with reminiscing, talk of inspirations, and exactly what you'd expect from this kind of thing.

"Hosted by Ian Zolitor; also present are Erik's partner Denise, his brother Chris, bandmate Shawn, and others."
