Talk:Aaron Bastani

Recreation and sources
I've recreated the article because Bastani is notable: he was at the third AfD, though not by the time of the first two. We've got substantial coverage of three different things: Novara Media co-founding and a decade of his work there; popularising and outlining "fully automated luxury communism" as a term; and Fully Automated Luxury Communism (the book). Bastani is significantly covered in his own right in sources about each of these three topics, including Financial Times, The Guardian, New Statesman, Socialist Imaginaries and Queer Futures and of course the many book reviews. His comments on the Poppy Appeal also gathered a fair bit of coverage. New sources since previous deletion that anyone re-nominating for AfD should address include a full article in The Jewish Chronicle, The Wall Street Journal, Vice, Cruddas's book and an Automation and the Future of Work mention.

Also of note is that The Jewish Chronicle quote Bastani quite a bit and you can find his comments used in other publications like the BBC, The Economist, The National, Financial Times, The Guardian and The Independent. After his book, he is more often quoted in more academic political theory contexts (e.g. New Statesman)—note the citations to FALC. You can find him mentioned in a fair few books.

Obviously not all references in the article are there to support notability, but check the ones that are. I've gone a bit overboard with some of the "fully automated luxury communism" (term) sources because I think it could be standalone notable, or worth a section at somewhere like post-scarcity economy. (Socialist Imaginaries and Queer Futures is particularly detailed.) Sources about the book that are not yet in the article or Fully Automated Luxury Communism include NYT, The Times, The Wire, The Herald, Red Pepper, The Guardian and then plenty more that experienced editors can access (via TWL) on ProQuest. — Bilorv ( talk ) 21:07, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
