The end of the end of history.

The Economist now sees Leninism as the reason for China’s competitiveness. Wasn’t a whole-of-state approach supposed to be doomed? China’s escape from shock therapy was the first existential blow to neoliberalism. This is the nail in its coffin.

“All forms of technological innovation in the past have been used to diminish the power of labor. So whatever else happens with AI, we are absolutely certain to see the further diminution of the power of labor.”

Archive pick from Anthropologist David Graeber: "If someone had designed a work regime perfectly suited to maintaining the power of finance capital, it’s hard to see how they could have done a better job. Real, productive workers are relentlessly squeezed and exploited. The remainder are divided between a terrorised stratum of the – universally reviled – unemployed and a larger stratum who are basically paid to do nothing, in positions designed to make them identify with the perspectives and sensibilities of the ruling class (managers, administrators, etc) – and particularly its financial avatars – but, at the same time, foster a simmering resentment against anyone whose work has clear and undeniable social value. Clearly, the system was never consciously designed. It emerged from almost a century of trial and error. But it is the only explanation for why, despite our technological capacities, we are not all working 3-4 hour days."

The profits of Europe’s largest firms have increasingly been routed into share buybacks, dividends, and financial assets rather than into production and innovation. The result is a mounting social cost of misdirected capital, @MazzucatoM writes. https://t.co/prUy1rdMqd

Economist @MazzucatoM explains why standard economics fails to recognize parasitic business practices—and why it struggles to show how to build an economy that works for everyone. @EricBeinhocker @timoreilly @rorysutherland @KateRaworth @owenjonesjourno

Problems have solutions. Contradictions do not. They are permanent points of tension that can only be managed within the system in which they are embedded. They only go away when the system as a whole disappears.

“Chocolate” fue la primera palabra que introdujo al diccionario la Real Academia Española procedente de Latinoamérica. Viene de “xocolatl" del náhuatl, la lengua de los aztecas y hoy aún hablada por 3 millones de personas.
Es la palabra más internacional que prestó el náhuatl.

Fossil fuel price shocks are redistribution shocks. The rich reap the windfall profits and the many are burdened by cost.

“We find that 50% of the profits in the oil and gas industry went to the top 1% richest Americans, whereas only 1% of those profits went to the bottom 50%.”

Great to see our research covered by @NPR!

For years I've watched the affordability crisis deepen while governments refuse to stop profiteering. When democracies don't deliver on essentials, fascism finds its audience.

I am writing ANTI-FASCIST ECONOMICS & ESSENTIAL to defend our democracies.
