Thrilled to see our new paper out now in @cps_journal: ‘They Take Our Healthcare’: Health and Attitudes towards Immigration in Europe 👉Check it out: journals.sagepub.com/eprint/F6UHJUQ… Why are people in poor health more hostile toward immigrants? Our study pushes the debate beyond income or…

The Paramount-Skydance saga "reeks of Orbanism." That's the assessment of @GScheiring, who experienced Viktor Orbán's autocratic power plays in Hungary firsthand as a member of the Hungarian parliament.

It was an honor and a pleasure to discuss threats to democracy with Steven Levitsky at the @KetteringFdn Conference this Monday in Washington. I spoke about what unites authoritarian leaders: the politics of fear. As Roosevelt said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear…

“If you look at the history of democratization. . . . in many cases, the biggest advancements in democracy came from the masses organizing.” —CFK Global Fellow @gscheiring #KFConvos

Glad to share my latest piece on the autocratic threat and why a lasting solution requires rethinking what democracy is. Democracy thrives when it includes. Out now on the @KetteringFdn blog, Resilience & Resistance. While illiberal forces remain strong in places like the UK,…

🚨New paper out in @cps_journal with Torben Iversen: doi.org/10.1177/001041… We empirically separate economic factors from cultural backlash as competing explanations for right-wing populism, and find evidence for the former. We define the concept of “unfunded public goods.” 🧵

🌍 Why does democracy keep losing to illiberalism? In the latest in #ResilienceResistance, CFK Global Fellow Gábor Scheiring makes a bold case: the rise of illiberalism is about the failure of democratic systems to deliver security, dignity, and real political voice. From…

It was a deeply rewarding experience to co-organize a stream of four panels with @CihanTugal: fifteen presentations on the sociology of populism at the International Sociological Association (ISA)’s World Forum in Rabat last week. Our panels brought together scholars who are…

"When the ultra-rich and corporations have huge sway in government decisions and are able to operate without accountability, democracy deteriorates. This comes at a huge cost to the majority of people, our communities, and the environment." In this power punch essay, @Kmoeti…

I was happy to contribute to this analysis on the radical right's impact on labor. A critical topic that gets neglected way too often. Far-right governments across Europe are increasingly attacking trade unions, eroding labour rights, and scapegoating the vulnerable, all while…

New Book Review on BRAVE NEW EUROPE The Spectre of State Capitalism by Ilias Alami @IliasAlami and Adam D Dixon Reviewed by J. D. Evans braveneweurope.com/the-spectre-of… #Capitalism #Economics #statecapitalism #history #geography #marxism #bookreview

In another galaxy: a new hope. The democratic socialist @ZohranKMamdani has beaten Cuomo and is now the Democrats’ nominee for Mayor of NYC, de facto Mayor-Elect. Democrats and liberals who are serious about defeating illiberalism better pay attention. There is a model for…

Very well said @EldarMamedov4 @RStatecraft "Europe’s leaders have internalized their own subordination. They betray international law not for tangible gains, but out of reflexive obedience, a habit that weakens Europe’s global standing while emboldening Washington’s and…

Astounding graph

1. Trump's tax cuts overwhelmingly help the rich 2. His spending cuts are targeted at the poor 3. Tariffs cost the poor a larger share of their income Roll these three regressive policies together and you get the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history.
