ditto, just read this great essay by @iliasalami.bsky.social, this quote pulled it all together β¬οΈ
"the new state capitalism resonates with a much older phenomenon, the chartered "company-statesβ which acted as vanguards of global capitalism and European imperialism in the 17th & 18th centuries"

Essential essay by @iliasalami.bsky.social on new configurations of state ownership + state investment funds being deployed in the race for military, AI, and energy supply chain dominance. The trend rhymes with earlier eras of Great Power conflict but updated for a networked global economy.

New essay, written for the excellent @transitionsec.bsky.social
Propelled by the climatic and hegemonic transitions, military-imperial forms of state capitalism are confiscating our collective right to a safe, green, tech-powered future.

Imperial State Capitalism
A new geopolitics is shaping the development of AI and the energy transition.
Excellent as always from @iliasalami.bsky.social and a conclusion that is deeply resonant in Ireland.
'We must categorically reject ever-encompassing notions of national security, which are justified to extend the empire of state and capital over our lives.'

Our tech and energy systems being transformed. But how & in whose interests?
Read @iliasalami.bsky.social's Imperial State Capitalism to understand how the development of AI & the energy transition are being shaped by profiteering & geopolitical competition.

The central argument in this excellent paper & thread is that the open-access turn has neglected profit; indeed, it turbo-charged publishersβ margins. As political economists who know a thing or two about profit and power we should speak up a lot more. As it says below: What weβre doing is crazy.
