There’s a famous saying in management circles: Culture eats strategy for breakfast. In a warming world marked by populist politics, the climate equivalent might be: Culture eats climate policy for breakfast. As air conditioning becomes the latest front in the culture wars, climate hawks would be wise to avoid the culture war trap being set. Instead we should meet the world where it is with a simple, culturally relevant, and popular approach that keeps people cool on a warming planet — a h...| Heatmap News
While there is a lot of focus on left-wing NIMBYs in public discourse, there’s also a lot of right-wing NIMBY mobilization too. For instance, the conservative California city of Huntington Beach is leading the resistance to state efforts to require upzoning to facilitate housing.

Illustration by Maria Farre Originally published in Turkish in Ayrıntı Dergi: a Quarterly of Socialist Politics and Culture, and translated with the help of Tilbe Akan. Since the 1970s, the world left has gradually lost its claim to represent the total liberation of humanity from capitalism and imperialism. At first, the left was drawn into the path of taming the order through “new social movements.” The blocking of this path, as well as the increasing destructiveness of market capitali...| Lefteast

At the Battle of Ideas last Saturday, a panel on "populism" spent an hour and a half discussing everything except economics. Sherelle Jacobs of the Telegraph called for the Tory party to replace what she called a "twisted morality of sacrifice and dependency" with the "Judaeo-Christian" values of thrift and personal responsibility. And when a brave audience member asked "shouldn't we be discussing economics?" Tom Slater of Spiked brushed him off and carried on talking about cultural issues. E...| www.coppolacomment.com

Populist leaders like United States President Donald Trump are zealously challenging the authority of independent technocrats and judges. This backlash follows decades of steadily increasing delegation of policymaking authority to unelected experts, bureaucratic agencies, and the judiciary. In new research, Gabriele Gratton and Jacob Edenhofer argue that such backlash is a predictable development in political environments where majorities are unstable and new political coalitions frequently f...| ProMarket
