The tragedy of #Venezuela! In 1965 it was among the highest in GDP per capita and in a democracy. After the oil price rise it got even richer. With Chavez and Maduro (calling themselves socialists) it is as poor as Haiti & 1/3 of the population has emigrated!

Whether you believe #AI is a #bubble or not, what is true is that no bubble in history has ever been discussed so intensely before it crashes. People have usually believed it's up forever. I wonder if that could influence the outcome.

Well deserved Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado. It will put the spotlight on the Venezuelan tragedy with its kleptocratic and repressive dictatorship. A ray of hope for the millions of us in the diaspora.

@pkrugman.bsky.social discussed in Substack Charlie Kirk’s success in attracting young men to MAGA by claiming back the 20th century roles of men and women in the workplace and in life. Only raising the salaries in 21st century services will provide satisfactory jobs for all.

In this talk for Futuroscope 2025 (with French subtitles) I say that populism happens midway along each technological revolution. The way out are policies creating new dynamic demand. Last time it was suburbanisation; this time it's reglobalisation for a North-South win-win game. urls.fr/xo9QKg

Another example of @iipp-ucl.bsky.social and @mazzucatom.bsky.social‬
putting adademia at the service of social progress and intelligent policies... hands on!

School meals are not just a welfare policy - they can be at the centre of a strategic industrial strategy, if done right.

Our new report “A Mission Oriented Approach to School Meals” shows how ambitious school meal policy can drive innovation and equity across food systems, health, jobs & climate.

The difference is enormous between ivory tower academic institutions and IIPP, which produces scientific outputs and also connects with real world problems and works with real world leaders. These are times for policy and institutional innovation, so we need more academy-government links like this.

One year on from Scotland's Industrial Strategy launch, we're hosting a workshop tomorrow with Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes and the Scottish Government. Building on our new report, we'll discuss how to move from ambitious vision to transformative implementation.

Thanks for valuing my work, Bryan. Theories do not belong to the author, but I hate to tell you that I don't think we're in deployment, but stuck in a financialised turning point, where resentment about creative destruction has given rise to populists. See: carlotaperez.org/wp-content/d...

Carlota Perez @carlotaperez.bsky.social · Sep 3

Thanks! I'll let you know, but in the meantime, there's a lot in my website: www.carlotaperez.org

Good point by ‪@rainerkattel.bsky.social‬. He would agree that
not just the innovation agencies but the whole bureaucratic edifice needs modernisation. In fact, the necessary return of the State is not in Trump's tariff-mad mode, but in a creative way, providing directionality and missions.

Rainer Kattel @rainerkattel.bsky.social · Sep 2

Europe’s innovation agencies are stuck between rigid rules at the top and scattered experiments at the bottom. If they can’t become mission architects, we’ll fail on climate, digital sovereignty & even defence R&D.

More in my new Social Europe piece 👉 www.socialeurope.eu/europes-inno...

Europe's Innovation Agencies Need Radical Reform To Meet Today's Grand Challenges

Innovation agencies in the EU are no longer fit for purpose. A major overhaul of both the concept of innovation and of institutional structures is urgent.

@johnthornhill.bsky.social 's article interviewing me about a possible AI bubble collapse was widely read and commented and referred to in dozens of newspapers around the world. I guess financial bubbles spur information bubbles. Shame my next book is not at the publisher's yet!

If we want Bluesky to be a real alternative, we must be patient and persevere. This experience of being the pioneers must have been the same with Twitter in the early years. Most of us joined when it already had millions of people participating. The more active we are, the quicker Bluesky will grow.

Carlota Perez @carlotaperez.bsky.social · Aug 26

Great idea!

Mariana Mazzucato @mazzucatom.bsky.social · Aug 26

A lot of people are pointing out that copyright rules are breaking under the weight of generative AI, which exploits creative labour at scale. The solution is not to erect digital walls, but to treat collective knowledge as a public good and fund it collectively.

AI Should Help Fund Creative Labor

Mariana Mazzucato & Fausto Gernone show how today’s innovation economy exploits the very people it relies on and propose a fairer system.

Sorry. I just learned that it was only the House of Deputees that approved the euthanasia law. It now has to go to the Senate. Let's hope they confirm the unique and amazing democratic nature of Uruguay.

Carlota Perez @carlotaperez.bsky.social · Aug 21

Uruguay recently approved providing a "painless and peaceful death, respecting the dignity of patients with an incurable or painful illness. Congratulations! How long will it still take for #euthanasia to become a human right across the world? Not soon, if Big Pharma can stop it.

Carlota Perez @carlotaperez.bsky.social · Aug 21

We need to build Bluesky, so it becomes like Twitter used to be. But it takes time and patience and determination.

Carlota Perez @carlotaperez.bsky.social · Jul 25

Indeed, Trump is wrong when thinking that the old factory jobs are what will "make America great again" but it's not because he's old; many old people like me understand technological revolutions and social progress.

Andy Langenkamp @andylangenkamp.bsky.social · Jul 25

Trump's an old man still stuck in the world of car & steel manufacturing. His vision of success is that America will once again be host to millions of blue-collar factory jobs which no longer even exist in China, where they have been automated away amerex.substack.com/p/trump-is-l...
