The Ordinal Society
Organizations now measure and rank nearly every aspect of our lives, using data to make predictions about our purchasing power, tastes, and character. The Ordinal Society shows how these predictions structure life chances, producing a hollow morality that launders familiar forms of social advantage into an illusion of merit.
The Indebted Woman
Women, and particularly poor women, have become essential cogs in the wheel of financialized capitalism. Globally, women are responsible for managing household debt, and that debt has exploded over the last decade, reaching an all-time high after the COVID-19 pandemic. Across various categories of loans, including subprime lending, microcredit policies, and consumer loans, as well as rent and utilities, women are overrepresented as clients and managers, and are being enfolded into the system. The Indebted Woman discusses the crucial yet invisible roles poor women play in making and consolidating debt and credit markets. Isabelle Guérin, Santosh Kumar, and G.

Many areas around the country may become economically uninhabitable before they become physically unlivable. In Underwater, Rebecca Elliott explores how families, communities, and governments confront problems of loss as the climate changes.

Constructing Economic Science shows how the new "science" of economics was primarily an institutional creation of the modern university. Keith Tribe charts the path through commercial education to the discipline of economics and the creation of an economics curriculum that could be replicated around the world.
Precarious Progressivism
I then use time series regression methods to evaluate three sources of political neoliberalism since 1973: economic conditions, Anglo-liberal influences and left-right political competition. I find that Anglo-liberal influences are important, economic factors have surprisingly low explanatory value, and the political power of the center-right has a negative effect on center-left neoliberalism. I propose that Anglo neoliberalism shapes European politics directly via economic relations, and indirectly via American 'hyperpuissance' and the internationalized economics profession. Finally, the study examines elites' struggle over the social in the EU political field. Historicizing this struggle w...
