🇪🇺 Piketty’s new global-economy scenario asks a radical question: can prosperity rise while inequality falls?

Thomas Piketty and the Global Justice Project model a 2100 scenario where average monthly income converges toward €5,000 per person worldwide, annual working hours fall roughly by half, and the bottom 50% owns 30% of global wealth instead of about 2%.

It is a bold vision for a new economic order: The #GlobalJusticeReport, led by star-economist #ThomasPiketty, models a global economy that could reconcile planetary boundaries and prosperity for all by 2100. How is it done? By taxing the ultra rich and transferring their shareholder power towards a World Sovereign Fund. Thomas Piketty joins Dissens to talk about the report and how socialists can win the battle for the hearts and minds. Find the full episode here: https://blogs.taz.de/dissenspodcast/gjr/

RE: https://universeodon.com/@redshiftdrift/117038375614051847

"Considerations must also be made with the possibility in mind that AI investments have created a bubble. Both in terms of a technical bubble, where technology does not function well enough to deliver the value claimed, and an economic bubble, where investors lose faith in AI companies and pull capital as investing becomes unsustainable."

But then immediately goes on to list mediations for the deployment of a tech they themselves admit IT DOESNT WORK.

I love how they ALL sidestep that 'innocuous' observation, oh and by the way, not unlike #NaomiKlein dismissing #ThomasPiketty as a fringe kook in two phrases scattered in her book.

Then again, perhaps, like me and John Cage, they are actually eager to smash The System? Perhaps I should enthusiastically endorse them.

If we ever do get such news in English North America, I have yet to see it. #ThomasPiketty does, however, show in continental Europe now and then, taunting with crazy notions like:

"A report coordinated by the economist suggests: it is possible to eliminate poverty, reduce working hours by half and curb global warming. Prerequisites: frontal attack on inequality and political and economic transformation. What are the paths?"

Seit gut dreißig Jahren begleitet uns eine Erzählung wie ein leises Grundrauschen: Der Staat habe „zu wenig Geld“, um „soziale Geschenke“ zu verteilen. Mal wird sie in Nachrichten wiederholt, mal in Sonntagsreden variiert, mal als ökonomische Selbstverständlichkeit verkauft. Und irgendwann fragt niemand mehr, ob die Worte, mit denen wir über unser Zusammenleben sprechen, überhaupt […]

"El #socialismo democrático y ecológico, basado en un programa de descentralización progresiva de la economía y en una socialización creciente de la riqueza, debe convertirse gradualmente en parte de la base democrática común, a medida que demuestre su capacidad para hacer frente a los retos sociales y medioambientales mundiales de forma más convincente que las lógicas mercantiles y capitalistas."

Die Umverteilung des Wohlstands in Deutschland (I.) – Löhne und das Kapital

Aus Anlass des letzten Deutschlandtreffens Jungen Union, ein Aufsatz in zwei Teilen über Wachstum, Kapital, historische Verschiebungen und die politische Lüge der „Umverteilung nach unten“ – vor dem Hintergrund der Rentendebatte. Ich mag mich einfach nicht mehr über interessengeleitete Ignoranz anderer ärgern und im Grunde auch gar nicht mehr an einer Diskussion darüber teilnehmen. Doch wenn Sie das alles tatsächlich zu Ende lesen, dann finden Sie auch heraus, wie die Rentenbeiträge bis 2055 auf rund 15% sinken könnten! Erzählen Sie das gerne weiter!

Zum Blog: https://nexxtpress.de/ruhrwellenreiter/die-umverteilung-des-wohlstands-in-deutschland-i-lohne-und-das-kapital/

Thomas #Piketty:
"Eine andere Erklärung, die mir plausibler erscheint und besser mit den ermittelten Fakten übereinstimmt, ist die, dass diese Führungskräfte ihre Vergütung in großem Umfang selbst festlegen können – wobei sie sich manchmal hemmungslos bedienen – und dass diese häufig in keinem erkennbaren Verhältnis zu ihrer individuellen Produktivität steht, die im Übrigen in Großunternehmen sehr schwer zu messen ist."

I dont understand. Not paying real wages is an important central mechanism and example of how the financial aneurysm of billionaires are formed.

Coercive monopolies is another, monopsony another, offshoring income to avoid taxes, polluting without paying, taking pensions, pump and dump.

Billionaires are the cash pimples in a dirty system of theft.

Billionaires are not wealthy dentists, they are malfunctions of cash movement through crime.
