Una crítica a l'Informe Fènix, elaborat per un grup d'economistes catalans de reconeguda trajectòria, des del punt de vista de l'economia com a fenomen essencialment biofísic i l’anàlisi del capital que fa Piketty.

@ihtesham2005 Adam Smith’s writings were rooted in a muscle-and-biomass economy, when fossil fuels were only beginning to overtake biomass. In a way, his theories helped shape the great misunderstanding of how economies really work: energy is the real deal, while money is merely a claim on it.

There is a strange development in which academics of international politics are expected to publicly condemn adversarial countries before they are allowed to participate in public discourse. The complexity of international politics is reduced to a moral question of good versus evil, and academics must make moral declarations before even discussing facts, history, strategy, and interpretations. Academics should explain why states behave as they do; they are not moral validators.

What value does it bring to an analysis if the analyst "condemns" one side? After Russia invaded Ukraine, the former Norwegian foreign minister actually argued that "this is not the time to understand, but to condemn". This ridiculous position is pushed on academics. However, understanding is not endorsement, explanation is not advocacy, and ignorance is not strength. I argue it is in Russia's security interest to push NATO away from its borders, it is in Iran's interest to control the Strait of Hormuz, and it is in China's interest to create a new international economic architecture. This is not advocacy, nor is it a normative position about how the world should work; rather, it is a recognition of how the world actually works.

An academic should examine interests, capabilities, and strategic calculations that produce such policies—not participate in ritualised declarations of virtue that contribute absolutely nothing. Furthermore, moralism and condemnation often lead to a lack of understanding and increased conflict. When the conclusion is always that the good guys are confronting the bad guys, then the solution is always "peace through strength", "weapons are the path to peace", and defeating the latest reincarnation of Hitler. If you want war, condemn the other side as pure evil. If you want peace, the first step is to understand the other side.

@MalaMalamente Mi versión condensada: sólo los cínicos y los tontos pueden ser fascistas.

[Malamente® @MalaMalamente]

En Italia en los años 1940 decían:
“Hay tres cosas incompatibles entre sí: inteligencia, honradez y fascismo. Quien es inteligente y fascista, no es honrado.
Quien es honrado y fascista, no es inteligente.
Y quien es inteligente y honrado, no es fascista".

@cscolari Francisco fue más directo en su Evangelii gaudium: "esta economía mata".

[Daniel Gómez Cañete @Peaknik]

@cscolari No sé si intencionadamente, pero la mención explícita a la IA distrae de otros puntos importantes del texto: la crítica a la privatización de los motores del desarrollo, que ahora incluyen no sólo el capital natural sino la propiedad intelectual y las infraestructuras digitales.

@HdezEsteban La izquierda, o es anticapitalista, o no será. La tercera vía fue un engaño que nos ha hecho perder décadas. La tarea es convertir en discurso anticapitalista en aceptable y señalar el capitalismo como profundamente antisocial.
