Many of us will have read the last Mike Davis' brilliant City of Quartz, a major analysis of the political economy of Los Angles, but perhaps fewer of you will be aware of his other political economic work (much of which I had, at lest until I sold off my academic library on retirement)... so here's a useful overview of that work.

Poser l’équation capitaliste : M(M) = M’
#Marx #PoliticalEconomy #Capitalism #SystemsTheory #PoliticalEcology #Degrowth #Mathemathics #MCM #SurplusValue #MetabolicRift #Commons Pour résoudre l’équation capitaliste, il faut d’abord la poser.M ne devient M' que s’il s’applique à des conditions : travail, nature, temps social. On peut donc écrire : M(M ; L, N, T) = M' = M + delta M. La boucle semble close, mais elle dépend d’un dehors qu’elle épuise.

#PoliticalEconomy #Capitalism #Commons #Ecology #Marxism #Philosophy #Polanyi #Marx Si quelqu’un vous dit la vérité et que vous détournez le regard, que cherchez-vous ? Autre chose. Aujourd’hui, le capital ordonne encore la production. Demain, ce devront être les communs. Mais les renouvelables elles-mêmes reposent sur une économie fossile et extractiviste : sans relocalisation des économies,…

I haven't actually read "Muskism" yet, but I suspect this review summarizes the book adequately.
PS I loathe Musk and everything he stands for.

The Basque Model has substantial resources for renewal: fiscal autonomy, industrial policy and cooperative institutions.
Our new #CJRES paper examines a central tension: incorporating alternative agendas can enable change, but also postpone it.

Well, this seems a cogent reason for the deflation if not bursting of the #AI bubble.
"If it can be suggested that an AI company failed to put in place procedures to ensure its products are properly governed and controlled, personal liability can attach to the corporation's directors. The director might have insurance against that risk, but, given the scale of the risk, whether cover is adequate, and can continue to be afforded, are questions to which answers cannot be known as yet. This is the factor that insurance companies seem to be suggesting they are concerned about when it is clear that billion-dollar settlements are now being made by AI and tech companies for breaches of the law."
