  1. Useful commentary from Timothy Parrique on the world inequality lab's global justice project:

    'The outcome is colossal and the level of ambition
    revolutionary. And this is why I’m writing a response. I want to offer a constructive critique based on my particular expertise (ecological economics and growth-critical theories), pointing to a few areas for improvement... First, I want to challenge their definitions of sufficiency and degrowth, showing that their usage of the terms could be better articulated. Second, I want to show that their “uniform degrowth” scenario is not exactly what it claims to be. And finally, I want to raise several doubts concerning the biophysical viability of the Sustainable Convergence scenario'

  11. @cathy_garcia_canales

    Les écarts de rémunération sont très élevés : l’écart moyen PDG/salaire moyen atteint 78:1, avec des cas extrêmes comme Carrefour à 361:1 (sic!)

    Les PDG touchent des rémunérations annuelles très élevées, autour de 6 millions d’euros en moyenne, avec des pics à 22 millions chez Stellantis.

    Les femmes restent très sous-représentées au sommet : seulement 10% des postes de direction analysés étaient occupés par des femmes en 2024.

  23. #TranscendCapitalism : “…a new book by a prominent academic does a credible job in attempting to rejuvenate the #anticapitalist ethos. In #EscapeFromCapitalism: An Intervention, #ClaraMattei, a Professor of Economics at the University of Tulsa, seeks to revive the spirit of democratic control of workplaces present at the outset of the Bolshevik revolution. She clearly seeks to transcend a definition of #anticapitalism that is limited by the experiences of “actually existing” communist societies like the USSR, Mao’s China or Castro’s Cuba: in fact her book has virtually nothing to say about such regimes except to note that they prominently featured the economic #inequality and #exploitation anti-capitalist revolution is supposed to transcend. “
