F*cking Capitalism

This is Hannah Forsyth’s substack. Hannah’s views do not necessarily reflect the view of any employer, past, present and certainly not future.

Hannah is a historian and author of two books:

Virtue Capitalists: The Rise and Fall of the Professional Class in the Anglophone World (Cambridge University Press, 2023). [Discount code VICA2023 via the website]

A History of the Modern Australian University (NewSouth 2014).
