I strongly recommend reading The Player and the Played by Max Haiven (MIT, 2026)! IT IS OPEN SOURCE! Search it and download for free. This is the first of several review reels I’ll post.

I think @naomiaklein.bsky.social is hitting on something deep with the analogy that Mark Carney is presenting Canada to the world like it's a Costco for fascist preppers. Get the new book co-written with Astra Taylor.

Mark Carney’s the guy you get when capital needs to chill tf out and seem totally normal.

In 2015, Carney gave a speech to a Lloyd’s of London banquet that showcased his skill for making rich people feel warm and fuzzy and responsible and smart with pseudointellectual hackery. I think it helps explain what we see today. Part 1.

Carney and the frictionless flow of capital and investor ease. Resistance might be low because of consumer training.

Explainer on what Carney is doing to labour by expanding and routinizing Section 107 of the Labour Code.

In polite fascism, managers can rely on the downline for things like scapegoating.

Answering 2 objections to calling Carney a “polite fascist,” citing Mark Bray’s distinction between definitions and urgencies.
