If you've not heard of Isabella Weber, you might want to read this profile, as she is looking like becoming the next political economist (my designation, not hers) to join the slowly growing group of analysts arguing we need to rethink the global economic settlement in various ways.... she joins Kate Raworth, Marianne Mazzacuto and others who are setting out a new approach to our global political economy.

Excellent, because neoliberal capitalism clearly is at the end of the line. The US as a beacon for this has illustrates the end stage of the game. Winner takes all. Simply not an acceptable outcome.

@ChrisMayLA6 All though not an economist by trade, The Economist has/is still one of my weekly magazines.. Throughout my carreer Prof. Thomas Pikkety hass been my inequality guru. Isabelle has added Anti-fasiscm. I have preorderd her ebook. Thomas wrote 5 books so far on inequality - http://piketty.pse.ens.fr/fr/publications

@Pettet8
yes Piketty figured prominently on my students' reading lists - his work is interesting & insightful, and always worth reading.

For those interested, Wajahat Ali just did a good interview with Weber that's worth a listen

@ChrisMayLA6 And if you can understand German, Jung und Naiv has already done *four, actually* longform interviews with her. Here's the latest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiNVeBHn0Kw on antifascist economics.
