  1. What are the hidden costs of #globalisation? 🤔 The documentary #film / #movie “The #Economics of Happiness” highlights how it can worsen #inequality, #ClimateChange , conflict and livelihoods - and how GDP can fail to reflect real #wellbeing.

    The alternative? GO #LOCAL! 🌱 Support local food, business, finance & energy, strengthen #communities, and #reconnect with people and #nature. 🌍💚

    '#Populism, by its nature, rests upon the notion that all of the complex problems that #society is compelled to address actually have very simple #solutions.

    'To hold this world view, it necessitates a deep mistrust of #expertise, of #institutions, and of #science, and anyone else that dares explain why the "simple solution" has already been dismissed from calculations.

    'These are the natural adversaries of anyone intoxicated by overconfidence as a result of the Dunning Kruger Effect; a phenomenon by which those with the least amount of knowledge on a complex topic are so deficient in knowledge that they do not understand how much they don't know.

    'Within that context, the visible impatience from those who spent decades studying the minute nuances of a topic can be indiscernible from arrogance, or potentially even intentional obfuscation.

    'Polling data has consistently shown that One Nation's support is strongest among people without a #university degree, particularly when combined with older age and living in regional or #rural Australia.

    '#Conspiracy theories offer an explanation for their loss of #status and #wealth that appeals to our natural instinct to blame misfortune on the malicious acts of others.

    However, those local beliefs are completely out of touch with the brutal, hyper-technical reality of how the globalized world actually operates now. People are living in a moral framework that doesn't match the modern machine.

  10. The End of the “Peace Dividend” and the Return of History

    #Identitypolitics, is what happens when liberalism turns inward and fragments - call it mad liberalism. #Culturewar is what happens when that same liberalism hardens and lashes out - bad liberalism. Both look like opposites, but they come from the same place. The uncomfortable part is both were pushed onto the "left" as the way to fight #neoliberalism the very system that’s been tearing apart the social fabric for decades.

  12. One of the things thar disturbs me about Heinz Watties announcement that they were closing down their vegetable and food processing plants in Dunedin, Christchurch and Auckland is how a large foreign corporate took over the company abd is slowly destroying it. Over some years now they have stopped using locally grown produce and substituted imported products e.g. asparagus, tomatoes and corn, from much cheaper source countries like Peru and Thailand. Local farmers lose contracts. #Aoteroa becomes more dependent on imported food in place of more secure home grown food. So Heinz is increasing our food security risk. That should be a concern for every Kiwi. Something similar occured with Mondelez. Huge global cirporatiins like these are like vultures stripping everything down to the bone. #foodsecurity #globalisation #corporations #risk

  14. La vision prophétique de Nietzsche face à l’industrialisation et la globalisation

    Nietzsche, philosophe du 19e siècle, a anticipé avec toute sa clairvoyance les enjeux de l’industrialisation globale : uniformisation des individus, déshumanisation économique, montée d’une administration mondiale. Son diagnostic reste aujourd’hui d’une étonnante actualité. #Nietzsche #industrialisation #globalisation #philosophie

  18. @adamtooze makes the important point that globalisation is essentially a Eurasian story (with some stats to underline that observation), and so globalisation as a global political economic phenomenon is only over when Eurasia modifies its behaviour.

    The end of globalisation isn't something that is driven by the Tangerine Tyrant's (and US) economic policies.... rather, the pivot away from the US may see just globalisation continue minus the US!

    OMG! A wild ride… “Based off the newest tranche of emails and texts released by the Justice Department this weekend, Epstein, at the very least, believed that he was orchestrating the downfall of the global order in the 2010s. In June 2016, he emailed venture capitalist, early Facebook investor, and Palantir founder Peter Thiel, writing, “Brexit, just the beginning.” He then laid out the most succinct mission statement we currently have for what Epstein was trying to accomplish. “Return to tribalism,” he wrote. “Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances. You and I both agreed zero interest rates were too high, and as I said in your office. Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain.” 😮

    Read that again: “Epstein… believed… he was orchestrating the downfall of the global order”.😐

    Been wondering ever since I read that terse email “Brexit, just the beginning” implying that #Epstein & #Thiel think they caused it. Now this rationale. ☝️

    Can this really be so? Or is this #billionaires delusion? How could we know, how could we test for the truth of this hypothesis?🤔

  22. New post: "Globalisation Is Dead" (not with a bang, with a rewire).

    Friendshoring, harder trade blocs, critical minerals, and a more fragmented internet are shaping what comes next. I also share simple, non-prepper steps you can take: build redundancy, own your data, self-host what you can, reduce single points of failure.

    Where do you feel the pressure most: money, work, data, or weekly essentials?

  24. Is globalisation dead? Or just being rewired into regional blocs, friend-shoring, and tighter borders.

    This video got me thinking about what comes next: supply chain resilience, energy security, and how much control states try to grab back online.

  30. Shared Prosperity in a Fractured World by Dani Rodrik, 2025

    A New Economics for the Middle Class, the Global Poor, and Our Climate

    New, practical approaches to confronting today’s most daunting global issues. Fighting climate change, saving democracy, and eradicating poverty are urgent global challenges, yet the world’s leaders continue to pursue outdated policies that focus on one while worsening the tradeoffs between each of them.

  33. Understanding Trade: Beyond Tariffs and Goods

    The modern landscape of trade extends beyond tangible goods to complex legal frameworks governing cross-border interactions. Free Trade Agreements act as regulatory blueprints, influencing economies and societies globally. Power now resides in the hands of those defining standards and compliance, shaping how trade affects growth, migration, and inclusion.

  34. The Ages of Globalization: Geography, Technology, and Institutions by Jeffrey D. Sachs, 2020

    Today's most urgent problems are fundamentally global. They require nothing less than concerted, planetwide action if we are to secure a long-term future. But humanity's story has always been on a global scale, and this history deeply informs the present.
