I have to say, in the long history of “Marx failed to consider” takes by internet reply-guys, “Marx failed to consider the use-value of warm coats” should win its own category of award

Spain offers Europe a lesson in modern economics
Spain remains the euro zone’s fastest growing economy, outperforming its peers yet again in the third quarter. The Iberian country’s successful policy mix offers several lessons that fly in the face of global political trends.

Politics is in a vibes era. Nigel Farage and Zack Polanski are proof of that. But maybe Keir Starmer can take positivity from Ruben Amorim.

This is exactly the kind of thing I expected from 'Abundance' and exactly the kind of thing it failed to deliver bsky.app/profile/ryan...
it's not the rules so much (solar can be quite dangerous) it's how obnoxious and burdensome it is to comply with them. a whole bunch of complicated ass paperwork you either have to assemble yourself or pay someone $$$ to fill out. and then getting approved takes months

Wealth tax is not a revenue raiser, it is primarily about inequality and the myriad economic, political, and social problems it generates.

Increasingly I think the point of a wealth tax is not to raise money but to create space for raising income tax. The lethal thing in politics is when the compliant middle class feels like they have been taken for mugs; if you want to get money out of them, someone else needs to pay more too.

The rise of genuine left candidates has exposed so many flaws in the analysis of the centre. They just don’t have much to say about things because they see the world through a severely damaged lens.
