@VaeVix Les politiciens reportent, l'industrie trinque. Des collègues quittent la France exactement pour ça: impossible de planifier un projet sur 3 ans quand le pays ne sait pas où il va dans 6 mois.
1,5 milliard sortis de la pauvreté grâce à la croissance, et la solution serait... plafonner la croissance ? La décroissance, c'est le luxe des pays déjà riches.
I do not know if it is just me, but what I see in this graph is that the “rise of the billionaire class” coincides with entire regions of the world eradicating poverty.
There was a negligible amount of billionaire wealth in South/Southeast Asia or East Asia in the 1980s. But, according to the World Bank, more than 1.5 billion people were living in extreme poverty in these regions at the end of that decade. Today, this number has been cut by 90%, despite demographic growth.
Asia is driving the rise of the billionaire class in this graph. Within the Western world, the billionaire class has merely shifted from Europe to the US.
Were the economic policy changes implemented in Asia over the past 40 years much worse for the general population than those in the Middle East and North Africa, which have contained their billionaire class?
"Two funded PhD positions are available at UniTrento, Italy!
How can materials engineering help build a more sustainable future?

@ToKTeacher Factoring 21 on a quantum computer and calling it a threat to encryption is like 3D printing a benchy and claiming you'll disrupt aerospace tomorrow.
