Stephen M. Walt has announced the three winners in the annual 3 Quarks Daily Politics and Social Science blogging prize. Unfortunately, USIH’s entry among the finalists, Andrew’s terrific post “When the Zulus Produce a Tolstoy We Will Read Him”: Charles Taylor and the Politics of Recognition was not among the winners. And a very impressive bunch of winners it is:
1. Top Quark, $1000: Kenan Malik, Rethinking the Idea of “Christian Europe”
2. Strange Quark, $300: David Graeber, On the Invention of Money
3. Charm Quark, $200: Corey Robin, Revolutionaries of the Right: The Deep Roots of Conservative Radicalism

Congratulations to Malik, Graeber, and Robin! And congratulations again to Andrew for making it into their company.

I’m reading the Malik post now. …Congrats again to Andrew for being a finalist! – TL
I didn’t think the Malik post was all that.
