The Bell Tolls For Us - II | The Agonist

Thus, the poor must now pay. And pay you will. Not just today, not just tomorrow, but for the rest of your life. This is the one thing that neo-classical synthesis economics prescribes, if money cannot bail the problem out, then the problem is that the poor have too much money, and must be shorn of the ability to spend, until they can spend within the frame work of equilibrium growth. Neo-classical economics solves mesoïnflationary pressures, then, by forcing the people out of the world of prosperity. Reagan did so by forcing much of urban American into a half generation of poverty. Now, it will happen again, as the most anti-urban democrat since Al Davis, is poised to be nominated.

Harold Jarche » The new nature of the firm

For enterprise 2.0 to work, it needs to embrace democracy in the workplace, something that rarely exists in industrial, command and control, organisations - which account for almost all of our businesses. Businesses run as monarchies or oligarchies but very few operate as democracies. We are so accustomed to this structure that most business people would say that it is impossible to run a business as a democracy. We know they are wrong and that there are democratic business models that work today.

Michael Meacher: Will the oil crisis lead to nuclear proliferation | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk

The geopolitical implications of this gathering crisis for world oil supply 2010-15 are immense. The risk of further military interventions and conflicts in the Middle East is clearly high. Total world oil reserves are estimated at 2.5-2.9 trillion barrels, of which half has now been already consumed, while half of the 51 oil-producing countries reported output declines in 2006. Non-Opec production is expected to peak and decline within the next five years, driven mainly by burgeoning demand from China and the US, together with restricted output from Iraq.

kino fist: What Happened to the Future?

In today's post-political society in which the public are systematically discouraged from taking an interest in politics, and political decisions are always presented as ideology-free, technical, administrative choices, we seem to have lost our grip on the future. Without a broad-based popular opposition to the status quo, we are left with the rather grim sense that there is no alternative. The future, as J. G. Ballard put it, is boring.
