Thinking a lot about Prof. Anwar Shaikh these days of course. We, his students, must all remember him however we can...
Somebody needs to remind Jimmy that cricket administration generally but especially in England has been fucked up for years. I'm sure he knows it first hand, but a reminder from someone who's already been outside the circus for a bit can't hurt. Nothing wrong with Jimmy.
James Anderson says he is "sad" and "shocked" by his release by Lancashire.
Anderson added the decision made him question whether there is "something fundamentally wrong with me as a person".

Removing barriers placed for route of the @ECB_cricket team led to 10-year sentence to lawyers @ImaanZHazir & @AdvHadiali. I know it’s only a grotesquely absurd legal cover for the naked tyranny of this regime; but I wish we wouldn’t have these damn teams visit Pakistan at all!

There is a kind of Pakistani man that has the most indefensible opinions and is morally repulsive but he thinks he's Harvey Specter.

One can distinguish phases in Anwar Shaikh's work, but some issues appear from his first to the last contributions. One is crisis and crisis theories, on which he wrote a primer in 1978. It is still key to understanding to different understandings of crisis between economists.

Today the police in Lahore stopped @NSM_official1 from holding a study circle on provincial autonomy, democratic rights and the implications of the imposition of Governor's Rule and Emergency in Pakhtunkhwa. This is shameful. Students stopped from holding a discussion. #Sharamnak

You can’t make this up. Minouche Shafik, the former @Columbia president who caved to hostile politicians in a disastrous hearing, called the NYPD onto her own campus, had students arrested by the hundreds, then resigned in disgrace, is now in charge of @LSEnews new forum for “democratic debate.”
Will she call the police on the debaters too?

This is why the events at Columbia were emblematic of the entire higher ed sector. It was not an isolated incident.

Social murder is Fredrick Engels' term for when society places workers in a position where they cannot maintain health or live long, when it deprives them of the means of life, and when it knows this & does nothing. There’s no individual killer bc it’s the arrangement that kills.

Capitalism is apparently the most efficient allocation mechanism ever invented, provided you ignore empty houses, homeless people, destroyed food, planned obsolescence, medical bankruptcies, wage theft, monopolies, pollution, bullshit jobs, and periodic financial catastrophes.
What neutrality?
