• Lunch with the FT: Mariana Mazzucato.
• PostCapitalism: a Review. Good review of Paul Mason's PostCapitalism.
• “I am very taken with the notion that, statistically, we almost certainly do not exist” — Leila Johnston, Hack Circus. "In short, I want people to see that things don’t ‘have’ to be done in a certain way."
