Otto Neurath: Die Wirtschaft soll dem Glück dienen Otto Neuraths Theorie des Glücks zeigt, dass Demokratien selbst entscheiden sollten, für welches Ziel sie wirtschaften.

Für @surplusmagazin.bsky.social durfte ich ein Porträt über Otto Neurath schreiben. Viele seiner Gedanken haben immer noch Relevanz für die Kritik am BIP, die ökologische Ökonomik oder Sozialisierungsdebatten. www.surplusmagazin.de/otto-neurath...

Zitat: „Ironisch ist, dass die Richter des Hamburger Verwaltungsgerichtes von einem Marx-Lesekreis profitieren würden, um an einer solchen Debatte besser teilnehmen zu können.“

Verfassungsfeind Marx?

Die Gesellschaftstheorie von Marx ist mit dem Grundgesetz unvereinbar – so hielt es unlängst das Verwaltungsgericht Hamburg.

BRUNO LEIPOLD (‪@brunoleipold.com‬) meint: Was die Richter zu Marx schreiben, ist ideengeschichtlich nicht haltbar.

@ianpaulwright.bsky.social's 'Emergence of the Law of Value', showing via ABM how Marx’s law of value emerges from decentralized, heterogenous exchanges as stationary price distributions, is another leap that further grounds Marxian theory scientifically: gesd.free.fr/wrightrpe.pdf

What’s a tip you wish someone had given you before you started reading Capital? Use Excel. Formalizing important parts of Marx’s theory in a spreadsheet makes it click — it’s perfect for understanding it.

it's more about general principles, for example, that comprehensive planning can never be about fixed ex ante plans, reality should surrender to ("the plan is nothing") but rather that there must be constant interaction and communication between strategic macro-level goals and micro level responses.

vielen dank!

spannend! hast du eine referenz dazu?

Cybernetics, naturally, has similar reference points, cf. Beer's comparison of a cybernetic control room for the whole economy with Churchill 's cabinet war rooms.

I actually don't mean broader war economies here, but military planning in war more narrowly (movement of forces and resources etc. in the battlefield), because of the requirement of highly adaptive planning in the face of persistent uncertainty and change.

yes, it is more about investigating particular organisational challenges and associated solutions, from which we can learn, as opposed to the 'war communism' fallacy.

Oh my, where has my research taken me again? We need to admit: military planning has a lot to teach us about comprehensive yet highly adaptive planning. Moltke: 'plans are nothing, but planning is everything' (Murray, Military Adaptation in War, 2011, p. 274).

happy to see this out! special thanks to @futurehistories.bsky.social and @christophsorg.bsky.social , who are doing so much to advance the debate. the book launch event is today 19.00, berlin.

...Chapter 2 by @jakobheyer.bsky.social, in which he distills basic problems that any model of a democratically planned economy will have to face, two of which are information and incentives. He identifies lines of conflict but also points towards a possible synthesis.

Warum wir Klimapopulismus brauchen Die Klimakatastrophe ist auch eine Verteilungsfrage. Nur wer die Reichen ins Visier nimmt, kann die Transformation voranbringen.

Progressive Klimapolitik steckt in der Krise. Angesichts rechten Backlashs wollen Zentristen das Thema aus der Schusslinie nehmen. @jsbrt.bsky.social und ich plädieren im brandneuen @surplusmagazin.bsky.social für einen ganz anderen Ansatz: Klimapopulismus. 🧵 www.surplusmagazin.de/warum-wir-ei...

Earth breaches 1.5 °C climate limit for the first time: what does it mean? The threshold has been exceeded for only one year so far, but humanity is nearing the end of what many thought was a ‘safe zone’ as climate change worsens.

Excited to share a few highlights from our expert workshop on “Democratic Economic Planning” (DEP) in Vienna last weekend! Over 2 days, we explored how democratic economic planning can reshape our economy. Here is a short summary of what we discussed 🧵👇(1/9) #DemocraticPlanning #DEP
