Für @surplusmagazin.bsky.social durfte ich ein Porträt über Otto Neurath schreiben. Viele seiner Gedanken haben immer noch Relevanz für die Kritik am BIP, die ökologische Ökonomik oder Sozialisierungsdebatten. www.surplusmagazin.de/otto-neurath...
Otto Neurath: Die Wirtschaft soll dem Glück dienen
Otto Neuraths Theorie des Glücks zeigt, dass Demokratien selbst entscheiden sollten, für welches Ziel sie wirtschaften.

Verfassungsfeind Marx?

Die Gesellschaftstheorie von Marx ist mit dem Grundgesetz unvereinbar – so hielt es unlängst das Verwaltungsgericht Hamburg.

BRUNO LEIPOLD (‪@brunoleipold.com‬) meint: Was die Richter zu Marx schreiben, ist ideengeschichtlich nicht haltbar.

@ianpaulwright.bsky.social's 'Emergence of the Law of Value', showing via ABM how Marx’s law of value emerges from decentralized, heterogenous exchanges as stationary price distributions, is another leap that further grounds Marxian theory scientifically: gesd.free.fr/wrightrpe.pdf

What’s a tip you wish someone had given you before you started reading Capital? Use Excel. Formalizing important parts of Marx’s theory in a spreadsheet makes it click — it’s perfect for understanding it.

Oh my, where has my research taken me again? We need to admit: military planning has a lot to teach us about comprehensive yet highly adaptive planning. Moltke: 'plans are nothing, but planning is everything' (Murray, Military Adaptation in War, 2011, p. 274).

Progressive Klimapolitik steckt in der Krise. Angesichts rechten Backlashs wollen Zentristen das Thema aus der Schusslinie nehmen. @jsbrt.bsky.social und ich plädieren im brandneuen @surplusmagazin.bsky.social für einen ganz anderen Ansatz: Klimapopulismus. 🧵 www.surplusmagazin.de/warum-wir-ei...
Warum wir Klimapopulismus brauchen
Die Klimakatastrophe ist auch eine Verteilungsfrage. Nur wer die Reichen ins Visier nimmt, kann die Transformation voranbringen.
