Economies are failing not by coincidence, but by design. If the best ‘good’ economics can offer is correcting for market failures (e.g. public goods) or government failures (e.g. commons), it is not surprising that ‘good’ is hard to achieve.
In my new book The Common Good Economy, I argue that we must replace corrections with objectives where the how is as important as the what. Purpose, participation, reciprocity, shared learning and benefits, and accountability are not additions, they must go to the core of how we design the economy.
On 23 May, I’ll be at @hayfestival in conversation with @zannymb, Editor-in-Chief of @TheEconomist, to discuss my new book The Common Good Economy. Links in replies.

I'm excited to announce that we are organizing a workshop on June 5 for journalists and other fact-gatherers to discuss the threats posed by AI to information integrity, and responses to those threats. If you are a technologist / company building authentication or verification tools and would like to participate, we'd love for you to apply: https://t.co/ge689aHJFR
The workshop is invite-only but we will publish a report after the event.
We are proud to launch the Booklet of our Symposium on #AI and #Democracy!
This publication gathers all the original Symposium contributions, as well as the editors’ reflection on the implications AI poses for democracy.

Last month, after I wrote my story about giga-scale data centers, two journalists at The Washington Post reached out to use Cleanview's data for one of their stories. Their piece just came out and it's a great read.
Using our data, and a few other sources, @evanhalper and @niko_tinius found that the average planned data center is expected to be 10x larger than current operating ones.
Yesterday's data centers used as much power as a small town. Today's are expected to use as much as a city with 500,000 people. But the largest ones could use as much power as Philadelphia (population: 5.7m).
These data centers come with important consequences. As Evan and Niko write:
"Such facilities will create a major climate challenge. By the mid 2030s, forecasts show the world’s data centers could drive as much carbon pollution as the New York, Chicago and Houston metro areas combined."
@evanhalper and @niko_tinius consistently publish awesome work. To read more of their work, subscribe to The Washington Post's Climate Lab and give them a follow here on X.
