Interview | The Political Economy of the War on Iran with Adam Hanieh AH: "So much of the media coverage around the economics of the US–Israeli war on Iran has focused on the movement of oil prices and their impact on consumers in the United States or Western Europe. What this misses is that the Strait of Hormuz is not just an oil chokepoint, but a major trade route for many other commodities, including basic chemicals, petrochemical feedstocks, fertilizers, and aluminum. In this sense, the war has demonstrated that we need to move away from an orientalist stereotype of the Gulf states as simply giant oil spigots and understand their centrality to wider global industrial supply chains." Adam Hanieh is Director of the Middle East Institute and Professor of Political Economy and Global Development at SOAS, University of London. He specializes in the political economy of energy, oil and capitalism in the Middle East and is author of Crude Capitalism: Oil, Corporate Power and the Making of the World Market (Verso 2024) and co-author of Resisting Erasure: Capital, Imperialism and Race in Palestine (@VersoBooks 2025). 🔗 jadaliyya.com/Details/47465/…

Glad to share my review of Andreas Malm's provocative short book on Palestine & climate catastrophe, which explores connections between two seemingly unrelated "nakbas" (Arabic for catastrophe) on both historical-material & political-metaphorical levels. PDF below. @VersoBooks
been (re)reading a ton about oil, maritime trade, and nation-states over the past year or so. some stand outs if you’re interested:

@VersoBooks has got a 40+% Sale on "tech" books until June 30th. + Cory Doctorow's new one : The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI:How to Think About Artificial Intelligence Before It's Too Late. Brian Eno : We live in a jungle of new tools and new fables about them - and It’s genuinely confusing. Utopians battle it out with dystopians and the rest of us oscillate between awe and shock. We search for reliable guides who can tell us what’s going on and where it might take us. Cory Doctorow is the most lucid and generous guide I know of, and this book - ostensibly about AI, but more broadly about the new world of hyper-capitalism and high tech - is stunning in its clarity and breadth of vision. In trying to keep some kind of grasp on what is going on in the world, I read Doctorow obsessively.

"Fate is never simply what befalls us; it is the consequence of what we have done. [Communism] is simply the abolition of fate, the movement through which we undo the illusion of necessity."
