TIL E. F. Schumacher's father Hermann advised Walter Eucken, who was the father of ordoliberalism
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Eu… Also just learning that E. F. Schumacher was a friend of David Astor, and wrote with George Orwell at Astor's The Observer. Astor was buried next to Orwell.

Bought "The Big Break," so I'm going to leave some notes about Leah Hunt-Hendrix and Sean McElwee here 🧵 It's mostly favorable for Leah Hunt-Hendrix. She seems to rarely compromise her ideals, but her candidates were getting crushed by SBF money, so she sought truce which only materialized with Maxwell Frost. By the end of the book, FTX had crashed, to her satisfaction.

On the traditionalist AND theosophical roots of the communalist and environmentalist left by way of E. F. Schumacher who inspired organizations like the New Economy Coalition. From Mark Sedgwick's "Against the Modern World." ImageImage It jumps out at me that he advised Burma to abandon development and focus on Buddhism. Apparently he was a Rhodes scholar, a protégé of Keynes, was inspired by Gandhi, and also advised Zambia and the India Planning Commission. ImageImage

@EBBerger @drposhlost @subliminaljihad Learning lots of things today. ImageImageImageImage @EBBerger @drposhlost @subliminaljihad Trying to process realizing an old friend's dad employed by BMO has the last name of the de facto first PM amid the Jacobite rebellion of 1715 and founding of RBS, and that my own great great grandfather named campbell was a pro-Anglo banker around the turn of the 20th century.

@subliminaljihad Nice research. Haven't completely validated, but I think that David Hunter might be Malcolm's great uncle rather than his father.

geni.com/people/Dr-Davi… @subliminaljihad Looks like that still makes Malcolm and Nancy McAlpin Bell first cousins.

This is going to be a long thread beginning with the story of Leah Hunt-Hendrix, an oil heir and left-wing activist, and then branching out to other left bourgeoisie in her orbit and their project of social entrepreneurship in general.🧵 First, some background on me: after the 2016 election, I sought out the most radical orgs on the electoral left, leading me to follow the work of Justice Democrats and related orgs to which Leah was central.
