Her celebrated essay “Thin Places,” about an experimental neurosurgery developed to treat severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, asks how putting the neural touchpoint of the soul on a pacemaker may collide science and psychology with philosophical questions about illness, the limits of the self, and spiritual transformation. ![]() Not sure why her religious conviction had come or where it had gone, she did what anyone would do: “You go about the great American work of assigning yourself to other gods: yoga, talk radio, neoatheism, CrossFit, cleanses, football, the academy, the American Dream, Beyoncé.”Ī curiosity about the subtle systems guiding contemporary life pervades Kisner’s work. She was, she writes, “just naturally reverent,” a fact that didn’t change when she-much to her own confusion-lost her faith as a teenager.

As one chapter title puts it, this part of the book is concerned with the ‘globalisation of inequality’ - or in looking at inequality regimes from a non-European perspective.

Ignoring questions of how wealth and power was distributed in society was to provide the foundation for a stable, dynamic liberalism based on unchallengeable property rights. When we left off at the end of Part One of Piketty’s “Capital and Ideology” ( here), the feudal European inequality regime(s) had been substituted - either by reform or revolution - for a new ‘propertarian’ liberalism that in theory made property ownership a right open to to all in society, eliminating arbitrary social distinctions based on fixed social roles. ![]() ![]() ![]() Framed with a candid autobiographical narrative, this book gives us the opportunity to enter into the author’s daily life and explore her thoughts on themes of gender and sexuality, memory and urbanism, love and loss.
