Don't Just Do Something, Talk · Slavoj Zizek on the financial crisis - One of the most striking things about the reaction to the current financial meltdown is that, as one of the participants put it: 'No one really knows what to do.' The reason is that expectations are part of the game: how the market reacts to a particular intervention depends not only on how much bankers and traders trust the interventions, but even more on how much they think others will trust them.... Don't Ask Henry · Alan Hollinghurst: Sissiness - The story of Belchamber's publication is probably better known than the book itself, which, like its author, has suffered the ambiguous fate of becoming an accessory to the life of a more important writer. It is his friend Henry James who keeps Sturgis's novel distantly in view, at the same time as casting a long shadow over it. James read it in proof, and wrote a characteristic sequence of letters to Sturgis about it, beginning with neat praise ... Cut, Kill, Dig, Drill · Jonathan Raban: Sarah Palin's Cunning - Sarah Palin has put a new face and voice to the long-standing, powerful, but inchoate movement in US political life that one might see as a mutant strain of Poujadism, inflected with a modern American accent. There are echoes of the Poujadist agenda of 1950s France in its contempt for metropolitan elites, fuelling the resentment of the provinces towards the capital and the countryside towards the city, in its xenophobic strain of nationalism, stu... Why Not Eat an Eclair? · David Runciman: Why Vote? - Why would anyone vote for Barack Obama? Not why would anyone want to see Obama elected president rather than John McCain (or Hillary Clinton for that matter), but why would anyone who desired that outcome think that his or her individual vote could make the slightest difference in helping to bring it about? General elections are never decided by a single vote, so no one's vote is ever going to be missed. If you want Obama to win, and plan to vote... The Khugistic Sandal · Jenny Diski: Jews & Shoes - Great shoemakers of our day: Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin. None of them, I think, very Jewish. And if there had been any great pre or postwar Jewish shoe mavins they would certainly have been pointed out to me by my parents, who identified any Jewish achiever in any sphere as one of the family: Alma Cogan, Einstein, Marx, boxing promoter Jack Solomons (the Sultan of Sock), it didn't matter what they were known for, everyone cou... Why It Matters · Ellen Meiksins Wood: Quentin Skinner's Detachment - Is it possible, Quentin Skinner asks, that an entire tradition of political thought, including the most influential conception of freedom in anglophone political theory in the past half-century, 'has been insensitive to the range of conditions that can limit our freedom of action'? A reasonable question, one might think, not only about Isaiah Berlin's influential defence of 'negative' against 'positive' liberty but about the whole tradition of li... What's in a Number? · Donald MacKenzie: The $300 Trillion Question - Judged by the amount of money directly dependent on it, the British Bankers' Association's London Interbank Offered Rate matters more than any other set of numbers in the world. Libor anchors contracts amounting to some $300 trillion, the equivalent of $45,000 for every human being on the planet. It's a critical part of the infrastructure of financial markets but, like plumbing, doesn't usually get noticed. Only a handful of economists, and no ot... After Kemal · Perry Anderson - In a famous essay, one of the most acute self-critical reflections to emerge out of any of the youthful revolts of the 1960s, Murat Belge - a writer unrivalled in his intelligence of the political sensibility of his generation - told his contemporaries on the Turkish left, as yet another military intervention came thudding down over more than a decade of ardent hopes, that they had misunderstood their own country in a quite fundamental way.1 They... Making Do and Mending · Rosemary Hill reads Penelope Fitzgerald's Letters - In 1997, three years before her death, Penelope Fitzgerald asked her American publisher, Chris Carduff, who had offered to send her any books she wanted, for a copy of Wild America by Roger Tory Peterson and James Fisher.
