"As pressures increase and the risk of Earth's climate system switching to a catastrophic state rises, more and more scientists have begun to research the possibility of societal collapse." 😬 Read that twice!

this book got far too little attention when it got out. it's a most beautiful history of saxonian mining, but also much more – a study of how mining undermined the rigid order of the feudal world and how it created, semantically and practically, a new space and economic order

The economists who managed to incorporate colonialism into mainstream economic theory *without* challenging the underlying (Eurocentric) understanding of capitalism... Ofc will be rewarded by the Economics discipline.

NEW INVESTIGATION: Today, FA + Forensis publish new research on the colonial-era concentration camp in Swakopmund, Namibia, where thousands of Ovaherero and Nama were worked to death under German occupation during the genocide of 1904-1908. forensic-architecture.org/investigation/…

The beauty of economics is that because nobody reads anything that was written more than 5 years ago, theories, hypotheses, doctrines can be permanently reinvented, and people can get famous for a couple of years until what they wrote is in turn forgotten.

Here is our commentary on how the 2024 Economics Nobel integrates colonialism into economics, while leaving a colonial worldview intact (with Surbhi Kesar & Devika Dutt). To explain how & why they do this, we go back to the colonial origins of economics. epw.in/journal/2024/4…

In Israel sorgt gerade ein Medienskandal für Aufsehen, der in Deutschland erstaunlich wenig Beachtung findet. Dabei ist die grösste deutsche Zeitung, die Bild, direkt beteiligt. Habe vor inzwischen 6 Wochen bereits hier darüber geschrieben. Basics im 🧵/1 woz.ch/2438/israel-pa…

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing. The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos. 1/ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
