Experimental History

By Adam Mastroianni

1) Find what's true and make it useful. 2) Publish every other Tuesday. 3) Photo cred: my dad.

Interesting, provocative and funny takes on how academia and other things work.

Global Inequality and More 3.0

By Branko Milanovic

Global inequality and More 3.0

Branko Milanovic is a researcher on inequality. Far more interesting than the average economist, he thinks deeply, unconventionally and globally about history and politics.

Chartbook

By Adam Tooze

A newsletter on economics, geopolitics and history from Adam Tooze. More substantial than the twitter feed. More freewheeling than what you might read from me in FT, Foreign Policy, New Statesman.

Adam Tooze wrote the best book on the financial crisis. He's that rare bird, a historian who understands finance and the macroeconomy – though as he would probably tell you, if you're not confused, you're not paying attention.

Razib Khan's Unsupervised Learning

Conversations on genetics, history, politics, books, culture and evolution

A population geneticist (I think?) with broad and unconventional intellectual tastes. Deep dives into the new science of human prehistory. The podcast is also really good.

Never Met a Science

By Kevin Munger

Political Communication, Social Science Methodology, and how the internet intersects each

American political scientist with a broad range of ideas. His book, Boomers Ruined Everything, is out now. Actually it's called Generation Gap, but I prefer my title.
