"Studebaker ignites a necessary conversation about the intertwined nature of legitimacy and ideology. For those concerned with the future of embedded liberal democracies, this timely and insightful book serves as a warning against complacency." - @enzoreds

Coming with @EdinburghUP in November! Democracy as a hydra in a tar pit
Burdened by an excess of narratives, it is weighed down by the very means of its survival

I've even seen the ebook going for under $15 on Google Play
As of today, you can get my 2nd book in paperback for under $25 (under £20). I consider it to be the best thing I've ever made. Its performance in the market will affect my ability to publish affordable books that are intellectually rigorous.

It was a blast catching up with Mikey and Nance! We talked about all the things people do in politics that don't work and why those things don't work.
May 22
In this very special episode, Nance and I are joined by the one and only Benjamin Studebaker for a discussion of his book ‘The Chronic Crisis of American Democracy: The Way Is Shut’! We consider this text to be a classic in political theory. Link in comments.

It does seem hard to deny that Plato was the most important philosopher who ever lived

There is no longer any force in UK electoral politics that even feigns interest in socialism
This does not produce clarity about the limits of parliamentary politics or call social movements back into existence
Rather, it results in the enshittified slopulism of the Greens

Very pleased to have contributed my piece on political theory birds to Cadell's anthology. The owl of minerva, the Gallic rooster, and, of course, my vulture! But in this piece, I come up with even more birds--the eagle, the hawk, the turkey, even the turkey vulture! It was fun

One of the great things about books is that you can read people who wouldn't speak to you or give you the time of day
Most of the people in your social circles are happy to take you as you are
But the people you read might help you become a better person

A continuous need to introduce more abstractions, without stopping for even a moment to conceptualize those that have already been introduced
Populism at the level of language, an endless string of floating signifiers, flung out on the assumption that the reader will not think

What would it take to make a world where people with a plurality of conflicting sincere convictions are able to live in accordance with those convictions, instead of conforming to the imperatives of commercial and security competition? We had a fun conversation about this
