Podcast appearances and mentions of melinda cooper

In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared that the third Sunday in June would henceforth be celebrated as Father's Day. It was a symbolic gesture aimed at strengthening paternal bonds, as well as a tacit rejection of the policies recommended by Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who had just left Johnson's administration in disgrace after his controversial report on Black family life and poverty was leaked. “As we know it,” Scholar contributor Augustine Sedgewick writes in his new book, “Father's Day is an unintended consequence of the fractious American politics of race, gender, and class.” Sedgewick's book, Fatherhood: A History of Love and Power, is the story of how such politics ensnarled parental care, and of the men who expanded the domain of fathers across generations of crisis and change, from Aristotle and Henry VIII to Freud and Bob Dylan. Go beyond the episode:Augustine Sedgewick's Fatherhood: A History of Love and PowerThe far right's signature style is less about dad pants and more about fatherhood: read Sedgewick's essay “Ku Klux Khaki”“Thoreau's Pencils,” Sedgwick explores the abolitionist's relationship with his family—and his family business's ties to slaveryFor more on the Moynihan Report and political interventions on parenting, read Melinda Cooper's Family ValuesTune in every (other) week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

A cento anni dalla nascita e a quarant'anni dalla morte di Gilles Deleuze, Moby Dick dedica una puntata al filosofo francese che ha rivoluzionato il modo di pensare la differenza, il desiderio e la creatività.Nell'ora centrale della trasmissione – condotta da Lina Simoneschi Finocchiaro- vi proponiamo un approccio al tema che accompagnerà le ascoltatrici e gli ascoltatori in un viaggio nel pensiero di Deleuze, tra filosofia, politica, arte e vita.

At the close of the 1970s, government treasuries and central banks took a vow of perpetual self-restraint. To this day, fiscal authorities fret over soaring public debt burdens, while central bankers wring their hands at the slightest sign of rising wages. As the brief reprieve of coronavirus spending made clear, no departure from government austerity will be tolerated without a corresponding act of penance. Yet we misunderstand the scope of neoliberal public finance if we assume austerity to be its sole setting. Beyond the zero-sum game of direct claims on state budgets lies a realm of indirect government spending that escapes the naked eye. Capital gains are multiply subsidized by a tax system that reserves its greatest rewards for financial asset holders. And for all its airs of haughty asceticism, the Federal Reserve has become adept at facilitating the inflation of asset values while ruthlessly suppressing wages. Neoliberalism is as extravagant as it is austere, and this paradox needs to be grasped if we are to challenge its core modus operandi. In Counterrevolution: Extravagance and Austerity in Public Finance (Zone Books, 2024) Dr. Melinda Cooper examines the major schools of thought that have shaped neoliberal common sense around public finance. Focusing, in particular, on Virginia school public choice theory and supply-side economics, she shows how these currents produced distinct but ultimately complementary responses to the capitalist crisis of the 1970s. With its intellectual roots in the conservative Southern Democratic tradition, Virginia school public choice theory espoused an austere doctrine of budget balance. The supply-side movement, by contrast, advocated tax cuts without spending restraint and debt issuance without guilt, in an apparent repudiation of austerity. Yet, for all their differences, the two schools converged around the need to rein in the redistributive uses of public spending. Together, they drove a counterrevolution in public finance that deepened the divide between rich and poor and revived the fortunes of dynastic wealth. Far-reaching as the neoliberal counterrevolution has been, Dr. Cooper still identifies a counterfactual history of unrealized possibilities in the capitalist crisis of the 1970s. She concludes by inviting us to rethink the concept of revolution and raises the question: Is another politics of extravagance possible? This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Read Stephen and Scott's book here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/733979/the-fall-and-rise-of-american-finance-by-stephen-maher-and-scott-aquanno/   In Counterrevolution, Melinda Cooper reads the 1970s economic crisis as an elite revolt rather than proof of the New Deal order's unsustainability. Her arguments rely on a rejection of Marxism as an analytical framework and of socialism as a political horizon.   Check out our new bi-weekly series, "The Crisis Papers" here: https://www.patreon.com/bitterlakepresents/shop   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.

Productivismo más allá de toda producción. Ayuno intermitente. Ayuno de dopamina. Ayuno de redes. Snacks de movimiento. Píldoras de conductismo testadas en las mejores celdas para opositores. Nostalgia de autoridad. Si hace unos cuantos programas vinimos al mundo bro por las risas (https://www.elsaltodiario.com/pol-pop-podcast/filosofia-criptobros-marco-aurelio-te-echa-bronca-no-ir-al-gimnasio) hoy nos quedamos por su alocado catálogo de prácticas sobre el sujeto. Y, para ello, nos sumergimos de lleno en uno de sus sectores más pujante: los coachers de productividad. Al mismo tiempo boyante subsector de la autoayuda para chicos y laboratorio puntero de las nuevas maculinidades reaccionarias. Cómo da miedo ir sólito y con amigos es mejor hemos convocado a Mozo Yefimovich, una de las personas que mejor ha profundizado en sus vericuetos en su canal de youtube (https://www.youtube.com/@MozoYefimovich) Hablemos claro. Ser yo es complicado. No ser este yo concreto podcaster. Que también. Sino ser cualquier yo sometido a las presiones y miserias de la vida contemporánea. Es tan complicado que hay siglos de saberes y prácticas humanas dedicados al asunto. Lo más significativo de este fenómeno del mundobro que nos fascina es, precisamente, que son señores muy señores -mucho muchísimo- los más enganchados a estas cosas de ocuparse de uno mismo. Porque aceptémoslo: los chicos no hemos querido ocuparnos demasiado de esto. La masculinidad oldschooler implica un activo rechazo a estas cositas de las que se sospecha pueden producir que tu pito se desprenda de tu cuerpo. Pero el mundo bro si participa de esa preocupación por uno mismo y nos ofrece sus propuestas. Lo que pasa es que el mundo bro también está enredado en el revival nostálgico de la masculinidad oldschooler, así que la cosa se pone complicada y barroca como película de Nolan. Porque todo esto -toda esta ansiedad, toda esta complejidad de llegar a ser uno mismo en la sociedad despersonalizante y competitiva hasta la extenuación del capitalismo tardío- podría ser pensado desde la interdependencia, por ejemplo. O los cuidados. Cosas sobre las que parece cernirse el conocido pánico atávico al desprendimiento de pito. Así que, vedadas todas esas otras opciones que abrirían mundos distintos, bajo pena de emasculación, lo que queda es pensarlo desde el individualismo, la competición darwinista y el asco por la feminización del mundo contemporáneo. Lo cual aderezado con unas citas bien instrumentalizadas de estoicismo romano aquí y allá, unas notas de conductismo para dummies, productivismo golden age y little big magufismos, componen este aroma inconfundible: the new brummel. La propuesta para una nueva masculinidad reaccionaria que nos ofrecen estos señores como respuesta a la ansiedad que a todos nos ocupa. La cuestión es que crear y esculpir un yo supone también proponer un mundo. En este caso el mundo bro, que es un mundo que traduce a un lenguaje popular y a un set de prácticas accesibles el vínculo contemporáneo entre una racionalidad neoliberal y una jerarquía social neocon. Esto, que fue motivo de hasta dos programas, sobre Wendy Brown (https://www.ivoox.com/pol-amp-pop-4x01-en-ruinas-del-neoliberalismo-audios-mp3_rf_92222423_1.html) y Melinda Cooper (https://www.elsaltodiario.com/pol-pop-podcast/valores-familia), y de una larga cantinela la temporada pasada, vuelve ahora en formato 5 consejos para tener el cuerpo que siempre has querido, invertir desde 0 o concentrarte para estudiar de una puta vez. Hay que trabajarse como un yo disciplinado, productivo y alfa porque ese yo se instala en una naturalización de la jerarquía social, el darwinismo y la guerra de todos contra todos. De hecho, es el mundo resultante de su sujeto (invisibilizado en esta creación de contenido) el que da prueba del delirio del conjunto. Pero eso es materia de otros programas. En todo caso, a este cuadro le queda por explicar la creciente afición juvenil por adentrarse en esta cueva. Podría ser que nuestras composiciones de mundo carecieran de propuestas para ese sujeto que se agobia y lo que tiene más a mano es el tubo de individualismo de internet. Es decir, no tenemos una propuesta de sujeto que acompañe a nuestra propuesta de transformación política, cuando es obvio que se la necesita si quiere activar cualquier impugnación realista del mundo.

Melinda Cooper en diálogo con Nuria Alabao. Encuentro con Melinda Cooper, autora de "Los valores de la familia" publicado en Traficantes de Sueños, la historia, el presente y las bases de esta alianza Cooper ha investigado cómo, a medida que los políticos neoliberales impusieron recortes en los presupuestos de salud, educación y bienestar, identificaron a la familia como una alternativa total al Estado de bienestar. Y a medida que el consumo se basaba cada vez más en el crédito familiar, las obligaciones de deuda de la familia se volvieron fundamentales para el orden socioeconómico.

La contrarrevolución de los ahorradores, las herencias y la disciplina familiar. En el inicio de esta temporada, nos propusimos tratar asuntos clave de nuestro presente. En un contexto en el que nuestras alternativas políticas se encuentran algo estancadas, tiene sentido indagar acerca de cómo mutan las racionalidades políticas dominantes. En este episodio, lo haremos de la mano del libro de Melinda Cooper, “Los valores de la familia. Entre el neoliberalismo y el nuevo social-conservadurismo”, E. Fernández-Renau, trad., Traficantes de Sueños, 2022. La hipótesis central de Cooper es que entre el neoliberalismo y el neoconservadurismo existe una relación intensa y constitutiva del capitalismo. Esto descarta distintas perspectivas políticas y estratégicas que, aunque cómodas, yerran el tiro. En primer lugar que haya contradicción entre los dos modelos. Es decir, que por ejemplo, el neoliberalismo quisiera disolver todo vínculo social en la dinámica de mercado, mientras que el neoconservadurismo quisiera reconstituirlo o protegerlo. En segundo lugar, que sobre estos asuntos se pueda hacer una mirada material o económica, que tendría como principal enemigo al neoliberalismo, o, por otro lado, una mirada afectiva, cultural o identitaria, que tendría como principal oponente al neoconservadurismo. Y, por último, que los avances en asuntos propios del conservadurismo – enaltecimiento de las relaciones familiares, por ejemplo – tengan un componente anti-capitalista. Para contrastar esta hipótesis Cooper desarrolla una mirada mixta – económica de asuntos familiares-afectivos y afectiva de asuntos económicos – sobre distintos aspectos del conflicto social. Muestra cómo el punto de partida del Estado del Bienestar ya contaba con ese cóctel liberal-conservador, del que fue clave de bóveda el salario familiar: un ingreso familiar proveniente del empleo masculino y del trabajo doméstico femenino, completado por prestaciones, seguros sociales y aumentos salariales progresivos, pero desplegado en el interior del espacio iliberal-patriarcal de la familia. Desde los años 1970, neoliberalismo y neoconservadurismo identifican aquí además un enemigo común, puesto que la libertad económica y afectiva introducida por las mejoras sociales – salariales y prestacionales – pone en riesgo la doble coacción – laboral y heteropatriarcal –, con la correspondiente amenaza del orden social capitalista. En concreto, Cooper despliega esta argumentación a propósito de distintas realidades sociales que permiten estructurar esas estrategias conjuntas. En este episodio, nos hemos ocupado del algunas, como la inflación, las herencias y el rigor en las obligaciones parentales. A partir de la década de los 1980s, todas ellas delimitan un nuevo pacto social entre las élites y las clases medias por la protección de las rentas financieras y del perímetro de transmisión familiar de la riqueza y del status frente a los riesgos económicos y morales de la inflación - cancelación del futuro de los ahorradores – y la necesidad creciente de endeudamiento para acceder a bienes básicos como la vivienda, la educación superior o la sanidad. Todo ello en mitad de un deterioro inducido en la capacidad redistributiva del Estado social. En síntesis, es impresionante cómo discusiones y conflictos políticos que tienen casi 50 años de antigüedad siguen vehiculando los principales problemas y reivindicaciones de nuestras sociedades. Anímense a este paseo.

In episode 34 of the podcast I talk with the incredible Women's Health Physiotherapist, Researcher, Published Author and all around Guru Mindy Cooper about how to best support yourself during breastfeeding, and also about how to take care of your mental health if it didn't work out as planned. In our culture we medicalise breastfeeding, if something goes wrong there is minimal support and we blame the woman. In early postpartum, rather than valuing rest and recovery, 'bouncing back' and being the perfect host to visitors is heralded.  This episode is not a how-to guide, rather a holistic management plan, and it covers: Why we grieve if our breastfeeding journey didn't go to plan Why there is so much judgement in the BF space How to set yourself up early to have a positive journey Why medical advice often doesn't work How to navigate mismanagement and poor advice Why inflammation is so common early on in BF And so much more I hope you all enjoy, and if you are a health practitioner looking to partake in any of Mindy or her team's amazing courses: COURSE DATES, LOCATIONS & REGISTRATION LINKS Level 1 practical dates and the links for registration:   WA | Sunday 2 April | King Edward Hospital, Perth https://www.registernow.com.au/secure/Register.aspx?E=48561     QLD | Sunday 30 July | Royal Brisbane Women's Hospital, Brisbane https://www.registernow.com.au/secure/Register.aspx?E=48565   VIC | Saturday 7 October | Venue TBC, Melbourne https://www.registernow.com.au/secure/Register.aspx?E=48566   Level 2 will be held in Melbourne, Victoria, probably same venue as Level 1 on Sunday October 8.

Melinda Cooper, who teaches "gender, sexuality, and culture" at Australian National University, tries to take on Murray Rothbard in an academic journal. As usual for a progressive, even though she finds him far more principled, antiwar, and pro-civil liberties than his neoconservative and establishment counterparts, she'll take Mitt Romney any day.

We talk about the recent Supreme Court decisions, the coming rightwing dictatorship, the collapse of liberal democracy, and why only Dark Brandon can save us now.

In this special episode of Superstructure, Cohost Natalie Tabb Smith (@orangeasm) is joined by Erica Robles-Anderson (@fstflofscholars) and Scott Ferguson (@videotroph) to discuss common interests between the Money on the Left Editorial Collective and the Oikos working group on kinship/economy. Naty, Erica and Scott reflect on households, financial forms, and reproductive politics in our contemporary political economy through the prism of Melinda Cooper's 2017 text, Family Values: Between Neoliberalism and the New Social Conservatism.

Since Donald Trump was elected president — partially on the strength of white working class support in the Rust Belt — we've heard that the GOP is a working class party; that liberals sold out American labor to globalized capital; and that American workers are too socially and culturally conservative to remain within the increasingly progressive Democratic tent. According to the populist right, the culture war is itself a class war, waged on behalf of real workers against a secular, libertine professional elite who control the commanding heights of the economy, government, and media. What's wrong with this story? Labor historian and essayist Gabriel Winant joins Matt and Sam to answer that question. Using Gabe's award-winning book The Next Shift: The Fall of Industry and the Rise of Health Care in Rust Belt America as a guide, we tell a different story about working class formation in this country, about the forces that led to the decline of America's industrial base, and about the prospects for renewing labor's power relative to capital. Along the way, we take on figures of the newly labor-curious right — Oren Cass, Sohrab Ahmari, and others — explaining how their vision is based on ideologically motivated elisions that seek to resolve rather than energize class conflict.  It's a hot one, folks! Further Reading:Gabriel Winant, "We Live in a Society," n+1, Dec 12, 2020— "Professional-Managerial Chasm," n+1, Oct 10, 2019— "Coronavirus and Chronopolitics" n+1, Spring 2020.— "Strike Wave," New Left Review, Nov 25, 2021.Sohrab Ahmari, "How America Kneecapped Its Unions," Compact, Mar 31, 2022.Julius Krein, "The Real Class War," American Affairs, Nov 20, 2019.Alexander Riley, "Labor Betrayed by the Progressive Left," Chronicles, Mar 2022. Landon R.Y.

To quote the headline for Ed's article, “Ok, what the fuck is Evergrande and is it going to blow up the global economy?” First question: Evergrande is the second largest real estate developer in China. Its business model is premised on infinite growth, it's massively indebted to everybody, and it is finally collapsing. Second question: Maybe! We lay out the dynamics leading up to, and unfolding now during, Evergrande's collapse and discuss the potential consequences of yet another “too big to fail” financial institution doing what they do best: failing.

Nearly everyone agrees that the American system is, in some sense, rigged. If it is, then how did it get that way. Mike Konczal (@rortybomb), Director of Progressive Thought at the Roosevelt Institute, a left-leaning think tank, argues that America has come to rely too heavily on markets. In his new book, Freedom from the Market: America's Fight to Liberate Itself from the Grip of the Invisible Hand, Konczal pushes back against the idea that "neo-liberal" market dependency is natural, inevitable, or even especially American. Drawing on the history of American policy from the founding up to now, he argues that markets are inseparable from politics -- that they are, effectively, government programs. But markets don't necessarily give people what they need, can't provide essential goods to people who can't pay, and can leave us subject to domination from the economically powerful. In a wide-ranging conversation, we touch on the appeal and implications of the republican conception of freedom as non-domination, World War II-era government daycares, the function that Medicare played in desegregating hospitals, the nature of so-called neoliberalism, and a lot more. When Mike sent me his book, he included a note expressing his intention to turn me into a social democrat. I'm not sure that he succeeded, but one thing our chat made clear to me is that once you're willing to accept that markets are essentially political and that market structure is a policy choice, it’s possible to have a constructive conversation free of dogmatic ideological table-pounding.   ReadingsFreedom from the Market: America's Fight to Liberate Itself from the Grip of the Invisible Hand by Mike KonczalFrom Slavery to the Cooperative Commonwealth: Labor and Republican Liberty in the Nineteenth Century  by Alex GourevitchLand-grab universities by Robert Lee and Tristan Ahtone, High Country NewsSocial Insurance: With Special Reference to American Conditions by I.M.

“The key element shaping inequality is no longer the employment relationship but rather whether one is able to buy assets that appreciate at a faster rate than both inflation and wages”. So argue Lisa Adkins, Martijn Konings and Melinda Cooper in The Asset Economy (Polity Press, 2020), extending the argument in Thomas Piketty’s 2014 best-seller Capital in the Twenty-First Century. Inheritance, they claim, is no longer a 19th-century-style transmission of property titles after death but a “strategically timed transfer of funds that need to be leveraged and put to work in the speculative logic of the asset economy”. In the Anglo-Saxon economies at least, households are no longer just a unit of subsistence or consumption but a dynamic Minskyan balance-sheet manager.

On their way back to Prof. Stefan Eich's office after the interview, Tiger told Prof. Eich that he had been considering pursuing a Ph.D. because he values intellectual curiosity and derives a lot of joy from constantly learning about new ideas. Prof. Eich chuckled and told Tiger that academia might be one of the most anti-intellectual places of all because people are so focused on their niche and don’t interact with other disciplines enough. We've heard this criticism not only from Prof. Eich – or many other guests like Prof. Reinhard Busse – but almost every academic we've interviewed. People clearly recognize that the academia needs more people who can draw interdisciplinary connections. If one can bring financial economics, political theory, climate change, and many of the other fascinating debates together in a thoughtful way, this person is most likely a wonderful academic. And we believe that Prof. Eich is such an academic. While we don’t have the ability to do so yet, we do hope to build Policy Punchline to be as similar to a think tank as possible and bring different voices together. As we strive for that goal, we're excited to present this episode to you. Stefan Eich is Assistant Professor of Government at Georgetown University. Before arriving at Georgetown, he was Perkins-Cotsen Fellow in the Society of Fellows at Princeton University and received his Ph.D. in Political Science from Yale University. His research is in political theory and the history of political thought, in particular the political theory of money and financial capitalism. His book project, "The Currency of Politics: The Political Theory of Money from Aristotle to Keynes" (under contract with Princeton University Press), recovers debates about money as a constitutive political institution by studying six moments of monetary crisis and their imprint in the history of political thought. Besides its analysis of the conceptual and historical roots of the political theory of money the book offers an account of the modern politics of monetary depoliticization and places this history in conversation with the contested future of money. He is co-editor of a book series on "Currencies: New Thinking for Financial Times" with Melinda Cooper and Martijn Konings at Stanford University Press.
