@benburgis.bsky.socialReposted by @mikejbeggs.bsky.socialAtlanta friends! Come out day after tomorrow--so, Sunday, October 11th, at 4 PM--to see me and @mattpolprof.bsky.social chat about my (and @mikejbeggs.bsky.social and @sunraysunray.bsky.social's!) new book "The Blueprint: How Socialism Can Work in the Real World" at A Cappella Books.
@benburgis.bsky.socialReposted by @mikejbeggs.bsky.social@sunraysunray.bsky.social, @mikejbeggs.bsky.social, and I are in @jacobinmag.bsky.social today with an essay adapted from the first chapter of The Blueprint, explaining why opposition to capitalism has to come attached to serious answers to concerns about the economic viability of transcending it.
@mikejbeggs.bsky.socialLocal Australian launch will be in February
@mikejbeggs.bsky.socialOur book is finally out today! Looking forward to talking to people about it
@versobooks.bsky.socialReposted by @mikejbeggs.bsky.socialOut today! The Blueprint: How Socialism Can Work in the Real World by @sunraysunray.bsky.social, @benburgis.bsky.social and @mikejbeggs.bsky.social
"This is a book to 'pry open our imaginations and put the biggest questions of politics back on the table.'"

@mikejbeggs.bsky.socialThe whole issue 'Australia in the Fraser Years' is now live and full of good stuff. Owen Bennett's paper "The Australian Union Movement and the Politics of Full Employment, 1945–1976" makes for a nice complement to mine on monetarism and arbitration. Thanks to editor @joshuablackjb.bsky.social
