Europe’s regional #inequality persists not because poorer places lack #investment, but because #income leaks away from them with regularity. @andrecarrascal.bsky.social & Hewings show in @spatialeconomic.bsky.social how capitals are suction pumps in #Europe’s economic system. doi.org/10.1080/1742...

Eine Mehrwertsteuererhöhung pünktlich zum Ölpreisschock ist genau so sinnvoll wie die Gasumlage mitten in der Energiekrise 2022. Die Regierung macht sich bereit Öl ins Feuer der Krise der Leistbarkeit des Lebens zu gießen.

London, San Francisco and Beijing are among 19 global cities that have achieved ‘remarkable reductions’ in air pollution, slashing pollutant levels by more than 20% since 2010…”interventions such as cycle lanes, electric cars and restrictions on polluting vehicles helped to drive the improvements.”

Hormuz lays bare our fossil dependency on one of the most unappreciated building blocks of modern life - chemicals. All 350,000 of them. But why haven't we learn't to make chemical some other way? On the failed promise of green chemistry tinyurl.com/ysh3z52k

Financial markets are 'post-truth' media technologies and always have been. Keynes, Hayek, Lyotard, Mirowski etc etc etc have always known this. The rarity now is that their logic has penetrated to the heart of a very powerful modern government.

Reminder to avoid the Thiel distraction. A point we’ve been hitting on tour is the temptation to apply intellectual history methods to a regime of accumulation (digital capitalism) is misguided. You won’t understand the Tech Right by reading books (they don’t read). Look at how they run their firms.

Endless wealth accumulation among (male) entrepreneurs who then go on to fund politics to ensure that race, class, and gendered hierarchies persist. It should have been obvious all along.
