ディートンはまず、現代の経済学者が陥った最大の過ちを指摘します。
それは「権力(Power)」の無視です。 権力の分析なしに、現代資本主義における不平等やその他の多くのことを理解するのは困難です。(Without an analysis of power, it is hard to understand inequality or much else in modern capitalism.) 私たちは市場を、需要と供給が自動的に調整される中立的なメカニズムだと教わってきました。
しかし現実は違います。
賃金や価格は、誰が政治的な力を持っているか、誰がルールを決めているかによって左右されます。 かつて労働組合は、労働者のための「権力」でした。
しかし多くの経済学者(そしてリベラルな政治家たち)は、労働組合を「市場の効率を阻害する邪魔者」と見なしてきました。
ディートンは、自分もかつてはそう考えていたと告白した上で、いまは考えを変えたと述べます。 労働組合の衰退は、賃金シェアの低下、経営者と労働者の格差拡大、コミュニティの破壊、そしてポピュリズムの台頭に寄与しています。 (Their decline is contributing to … community destruction, and to rising populism.) 効率性を追い求めた結果、私たちは人々を守るための「盾」を破壊してしまったのです。 synodos.jp/opinion/economy/3…

the kill zone was planetary between Bush and Obama, but between Biden and Trump the kill zone became highly elliptical orbit (heo). Globality is a perspective, an imagination of claims (ala @NicolasDVillar1 wisdom)

New article by Phil A. Neel examining the post-2020 political order, arguing that liberal myths about law, elections, and restraint function as counterinsurgency in an era of open state violence. illwill.com/lies

Lutnick at Davos: "Why are you going to do solar and wind? Why would Europe agree to be net zero in 2030 when they don't make a battery? They don't make a battery! So if they go 2030, they are deciding to be subservient to China." (Get a load of the looks on the other panelists' faces)

Reality is at least as strange as fiction
“military planners are modelling a U.S. invasion from the south, expecting American forces to overcome Canada’s strategic positions on land and at sea within a week and possibly as quickly as two days. Canada does not have the number of military personnel or the sophisticated equipment needed to fend off a conventional American attack, they said. So, the military envisions unconventional warfare in which small groups of irregular military or armed civilians would resort to ambushes, sabotage, drone warfare or hit-and-run tactics. The aim of such tactics would be to impose mass casualties on U.S. occupying forces, the official said. This rupture in the joint defence agreement would likely see France or Britain, nuclear-weapon states, being called on to provide support and defence for Canada against the U.S.” theglobeandmail.com/politics…
