- Holy cow, my new book--"Offshore: Stealth Wealth and the New Colonialism"--is #4 on the @nytimes / @ezraklein recommended book list for 2024! Thanks for the boost, @anneapplebaum! Stocking-stuffer-sized at just 120pp & 7% off at Amazon: amazon.com/Offshore-Steal…
- Replying to @BlackKnight10k and @TristanSnellYou're correct. --a social scientist who is also a credentialed wealth manager & has spent 15 yrs on offshore finance No one has ever known exactly how much wealth is held offshore, because it's all shrouded in near complete secrecy. The best available information are estimates.
- Replying to @Heidi_CudaHmmm...I think I said: 1. 2 monopolies define modern nation-states: the legitimate use of force (military/police) & fiat money. 2. Crypto seeks to usurp 1 of those monopolies. 3. Doing so weakens ALL OTHER state powers, esp regulation & taxation. 4. Broligarchs ♥️ #3.
- Calling all social scientists whose work touches on offshore finance! Please submit your work to the special issue of Socio-Economic Review that I'll be guest editing with my fellow sociologist Kimberly Kay Hoang & historian Vanessa Ogle. Due date: 15 May. academic.oup.com/ser/pages/cfp-…
- Replying to @KareemHarper @AgainChloe and 2 othersYou handled that with grace. That's a rarity. Well done.
- Replying to @vanessahistory and @atossaaraxiaIf you have a chance, could you send me a PDF of the article or a gift link? It's paywalled and Dartmouth doesn't subscribe.
- Replying to @Heidi_CudaThank you for even remembering that I said those things! I'm trying to get an article published that addresses some of these issues. I'll post it here and on BSky if I succeed!
- Replying to @cat_abroadThis is how language works: humans define subtypes of things depending on what matters to them.Some societies make a lot of distinctions among types of snow. Not all societies consume leavened breads w/crust;those that do label distinct parts of the loaf. x.com/EBHarrington/s…
- Replying to @EBHarrington and @Heidi_CudaHere's a screen cap of my answer, because I'm about to delete all my tweets and head to BlueSky!
- Replying to @RtreatwilliamsYou can really see that protective mother love in your Nana. I put my arms around my son just the way she did.
