400 years ago, Hugo Grotius published De iure belli ac pacis (IBP). A conversation on @voelkerrechtsblog.org with @edjonesc.bsky.social and Mark Somos (@mpil.de), two of the editors of The Unseen History of International Law

Today in our LMU global history seminar: a joint event with the early modern historians, at which @edjonesc.bsky.social will talk about faith, debt, and moral bankruptcy in Latin America. This should be very interesting!
At last, we've gathered together 5 years worth of texts, podcasts, and artworks about the uni currency project into a single, easily-accessible webpage. Check it out when you have a moment.
Boston crowd - I will be at BU tomorrow at 4pm! Come along!
Big thanks to @andreimamolea.bsky.social for putting together a great programme

Hi there, feel free to DM me for a free copy
“There’s a big question here as to how we go from a world where only merchants can seek respite from being attacked and hounded by their creditors by appealing to this mechanism called bankruptcy to one where nations are invaded over default.”
Great episode.
I had an excellent conversation with @edjonesc.bsky.social on the podcast this month about his new book. What I especially appreciate in Ed's work is his attention to how religious values & theological debates play constitutive roles in the history of political economy. Check it out!
Why do insolvent investors have more rights than insolvent nations? And what has religion got to do with debt?
Check out my chat with Scott and Money on the Left - this one was a lot of fun! And follow @moneyontheleft.bsky.social for their thought-provoking content
Yes! Big fan of Tania's work. As it happens she and I are cooking something up for this summer - will keep you posted!
