This book I'm supposed to be reviewing is really attached to framing stuff as what "we" take for granted or "our" way of life and I am having flashbacks to teaching industrial designers with @sparks bc we used to drive the students insane by insisting they be specific w/r/t the "we" language
Hahahahaha I was looking up past bylines by this author and in 2018 he wrote an op-ed for the Sunday Times titled "Jeremy Corbyn Has No Right to Judge My Background" basically saying that talking about class is "divisive"!! this explains how an economics editor can write a book that provides an incorrect definition of capitalism and barely acknowledge colonialism in COMMODITY HISTORY
To be clear it doesn't seem as though Corbyn actually outed this guy as "posh" or uh, personally judged him, feel like the defensiveness here is saying a lot
