Populism & The Base-Superstructure Model

(Disclaimer: this piece is very old, when I thought being very snooty meant being very smart.) “A spectre is haunting the world: populism.

Misjudge A Nudge And It Might Not Budge — Spontaneous Order

But if it fudges, get ready for grudges. Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.’ While the latter clause of JFK’s now-immortal line rouses and rivets the dullest of hearts, the president clearly dodged a bullet on the former (too soon?). The question “what can — or rather…

Critique of Hayek’s Road to Serfdom

K-pop: ‘K’ for Kapital

How South Korea commodified idols Back in 2012 when Gangnam Style by PSY first made a big splash, it was when the Hallyu — the Korean Wave — hit the Western world. Some may argue over the nature of its viral popularity (bordering on notoriety) in Internet meme culture than…

Physics Envy Doesn’t Bite, But It Stings

The term “physics envy” conjures an amusing image of an economist lying on a reclining lounge, talking his heart out to everyone’s favourite psychoanalyst.

This pride month, we’re focusing on the sexual oddities of an unusual pair, burdened with their share of inescapable curses – Budh, a neither man nor woman and Ila, who was both. Tara (Star), tired of the prosaic ways of her husband Brihaspati, the preceptor of the Gods, fell for…

“Kids, being a Satanist isn’t all that bad.”

In fact, you might be one and not even know it. Do me a favour, would you? Close your eyes for a minute and tell me what you think about when I say the word: Satan. Did you picture a red fiend with horns, a pointy tail and a pitchfork? Or did you, imagine a specific figure, say, an angry, orange…
