Degrowth in high-income economies cannot be achieved without industrial policy. And green industrial policy cannot achieve its objectives without degrowth.

The two need each other. The paper synthesises key insights into an industrial policy framework that can actually work.

No matter how often I see this data, I always find it shocking. Of all the massive growth in output produced by the world's workers since 1980, more than half of it has been captured by the richest 1%. This is what happens when capital controls production.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.”

Starmer’s policy: a transfer of resources from the poorest, straight to the arms industry.

Just a reminder that the West destroyed Iran’s progressive democracy in 1953, deposing a leader beloved of the people, and installed a dictatorship in his place. The US and UK have been terrorising that country for as long as any of us have been alive. It’s sick.

I explain here how genocide in law was distinguished from genocidal warfare so that states could more easily engage in the latter. Thanks to my Oslo hosts for the invitation and opportunity

This fascinating new research overturns longstanding assumptions. It finds that lower-income groups are more concerned about the environment and prefer environmental protection over economic growth, compared to higher-income groups. Data from the USA.

Here’s the piece I recommend as context for the recent “ white genocide” talk —re South Africa’s Afrikaners—from the White House

Although Israel is not a party to the Apartheid Convention, it is nonetheless bound by customary international law to refrain from acts of apartheid. The crime of apartheid constitutes jus cogens: a norm that binds all states, regardless of their treaty ratification status.

Consistent with the findings of these experts, we conclude that Israel has committed and continues to commit the crime of apartheid as defined by the 1973 United Nations International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid (Apartheid Convention).2

His monkey-with-a-hand-grenade approach to international relations may prove yet to be his undoing. Here's hoping.

So the makers of Hamilton the musical basically took a cabal of colonial oligarchs who perpetrated mass enslavement, child rape, apartheid and genocide and laundered them as "cool".

South-South coordination is more crucial now than ever.

Trump is using tariffs to force global South governments to accept US demands (to cut their export prices, abolish their industrial policy frameworks, devalue their currencies, and accept reduced US payments on bonds). This will be devastating

Subjekt er en giftpil i norsk samfunnsdebatt Subjekt er et fikenblad for en blomstrende norsk anti-kunnskapskultur.

"Subjekts forlokkende misforståelse ... er å forstå den offentlige uenighetssamtalen feil: Uenighet og raseri på feil premisser, basert på feilinformasjon og følelser, er bare med på å ødelegge kunnskapen og ordskiftet i samfunnet." agendamagasin.no/debatt/subje...

When we learn about the Holocaust, what is most terrifying and disturbing about it is the dehumanization, the total domination and the exercise of arbitrary violence. We feel the terror in our bones. And we are now seeing it play out in Palestine every single day.

Daniel Cohen is not on social media so he’s asked me to announce his new book: ‘a genealogy of European “philosemitism” and its problems from the Holocaust to October 7, 2023.’
