My latest, for @CombinationsMag & @RadxChange, in which I argue modernity - both in science and ethics - can be seen as an accidental offshot of medieval theology. But whereas others have argued this undermines the entire 'modern' endeavour, I argue exactly the opposite. 🔗👇

“Abundance has little explicit to say about democratic contestation and the gaining and losing of power. The book invokes the importance of the public interest without properly explaining how to figure out what that is.” - Henry Farrell

"How responsive network technologies can make politics to social needs depends on who owns and designs them. Technology per se is not an answer to anything." Wolfgang Streeck in Combinations.

The Catholic Church uses voting—not appointment or inheritance—to choose the Pope. In Conclave Democracy, Matt Prewitt argues this tradition reveals how voting can reinforce authority, not weaken it. Read via @CombinationsMag: combinationsmag.com/conclave-democ…

Among the charges against democracy, the claim that it undercuts stable authority holds special prominence. So why, asks @m_t_prewitt, does the Catholic Church—arguably the world’s stablest and most authoritative institution—choose its leader by vote? combinationsmag.com/conclave-democ…

The project of abundance had its beginnings in a fight that was broader than disputes between centrist and left-leaning liberals. It will perhaps have its greatest value in getting an even bigger debate started on sound footing. combinationsmag.com/the-abundance-…

The result is a book that has plenty to say about the public good but no theory of how we come to know it. Political contestation is presented solely as an obstacle to progress, not the means by which we figure out what a mutually desirable future could look like.
