A batch of the best highlights from what Jophin's read, .
__Financial markets fail to capture what is at stake in the loss of places, habitats and ecosystems that matter to people and communities.__ They create perverse forms of dependence of the conservation of environmental goods on environmental damage elsewhere. The treatment of nature as *capital* is not a solution to the problems of environmental loss. Rather, it is part of the problem.
Life Beyond Capital
John O'Neill
Political analyses are not created through rational thought alone. Rather, our emotions, experiences, psychologies, and other bodily processes cannot be completely detached from how we think about and theorise things.
Prefigurative Politics
Paul Raekstad and Sofia Saio Gradin
Smith was fortunate that, thanks to six years of study at Oxford, he had acquired the spoken and written English of England. Hume’s English by contrast was always that of a Scotsman, and he never lost his strong Scottish accent. He might be acknowledged across Europe as one of the intellectual titans of the age, but until the end of his life, he remained anxious about “Scotticisms” in his writings, relying on English friends to check his manuscripts before publication so any such blemishes could be removed.
Gramsci's Common Sense
Kate Crehan
