r > g is one of the most important forces shaping our economy. it means returns on capital (r) outpace economic growth (g). when that's true, wealth concentrates upward – toward the owners of capital. and this is how our economy has functioned for the last several decades:

Climate denial is expensive! The American Academy of Actuaries warns that closing the National Center for Atmospheric Research — which the Trump regime calls “one of the largest sources of climate alarmism" — would lead to higher prices for home insurance and thus for housing itself.

Esto es lo mejor que he leído NUNCA (y es mucho decir) sobre cómo el sistema financiero dejó de funcionar para la economía real y se convirtió en una aspiradora de recursos y en un casino. Y está escrito por un analista conservador. Lo he reenviado a todos mis grupos y tú deberías hacer lo mismo.

‼️Se acerca la fecha‼️ La sociedad civil organizada se cita los días 13 y 14 de febrero para construir un nuevo modelo ecosocial, que cuestione el fracasado capitalismo verde y confronte el fascismo, proponiendo alternativas más allá del crecimiento. ✍️ Inscríbete aquí: bit.ly/ForoSocialde...

My brief address at the Spanish Parliament last week, on how capitalism is driving the polycrisis, and how we can begin to align production with democratically ratified objectives. (Part 2 below)

Three Mile Island wasn’t the worst nuclear disaster in American history. Read about what was and the research @joearvai.org, @aitormarcos.bsky.social, and I are doing to understand risky decision-making in this ✨unusual✨context. dornsife.usc.edu/wrigley/2025...

La falacia del poder del l@s consumidorxs Se retrata al capitalismo como un sistema democrático donde las personas “votan con sus billeteras”. Pero es una ilusión – incluso para los países ricos-. En lugar de defender el consumismo verde, debemos esforzarnos por desmercantilizar los alimentos.

How did I not know about this???? It works amazingly well - select 'transactions' and then just whack in a company name. Massively under-used resource here

BREAKING: An Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter has killed at least 25 Palestinians, mostly women and children, Gaza's Health Ministry said. The school was hit three times while people slept, setting their belongings ablaze, they added.

Conferencia Más Allá del Crecimiento será un espacio de deliberación democrática por un nuevo modelo económico que tenga como base el cuidado de las personas y el planeta. Tendrá lugar los días 26 y 27 de septiembre de 2025 en el Congreso de los Diputados y el segundo día Foro Social. n9.cl/p3de5

Manifiesto «Por un futuro más allá del crecimiento económico» es el manifiesto fundacional de la Alianza más allá del crecimiento, de la que formamos parte más de veinte colectivos en búsqueda de un nuevo modelo ecosocial. ¡¡Decrecimiento o barbarie!! #Decrecimiento attac.es/manifiesto-p...

Apagar las observaciones de CO₂ de Mauna Loa (NOAA) mientras el CO₂ atmosférico sigue disparándose es como apagar una alarma de incendios porque no te gusta el ruido. #CaosClimatico #StandUp4Science

Okay, #DOGE, you asked for it so let’s talk about government waste. Can you guess which US industry makes TRILLION$ in profit, but receives HUNDREDS OF BILLION$ in government subsidies — subsidies which economists and policy advisors in your own party agree are a waste of money? Here’s a hint:

A talk prof Paul Behrens gave today on 'Food Transformations' has been recorded, so I'll post a link soon. Some of his arguments: 🧵 1) Food systems are the top/key drivers of all Planetary Boundaries, with animal ag playing the biggest part (+ top driver of antibiotic resistance, pandemics, etc)

Constant economic growth is damaging to our planet, but Wrigley Institute research points to a better path: sustainable consumption.

How the oil industry and growing political divides turned climate change into a partisan issue: theconversation.com/how-the-oil-...

Why did Trump suspend energy efficiency and fuel economy rules? @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social explains: to create demand for oil and gas in an already saturated US market.

An analysis of tweets from three major U.S. sectors shows coordinated messaging to reinforce fossil-fuel reliance by denying the science and delaying change. @alainakinol.bsky.social Y. Si, J.Kinol, & @jenniecstephens.bsky.social propose a discourse of climate obstruction framework: bit.ly/4gcA1iW

@uscwrigley.bsky.social has put forward some insights from the institute, and links to resources, regarding the devastating #LAFires. Our priority during this difficult time is supporting our community now and into the future. dornsife.usc.edu/wrigley/2025...

Who else is tired of getting this reaction? Climate change concern is not my hobby.

Good piece by @natureportfolio.bsky.social. The erosion of thinking time—driven by admin, bureaucracy, industry agendas, and unrealistic output targets—stifles curiosity-led science. These pressures undermine innovation and the intellectual freedom vital for real progress. 🧪🌱🌍 #ScienceIsNotBusiness

Magnífica entrevista al investigador Aitor Marcos Díaz sobre post-crecimiento. "Degrowth is going to happen, either by design or disaster, because there are ecological limits on how much we can extract from our planet. Planned degrowth looks like democratically planned downscaling of consumption"

Can we have green growth and sustainable consumption, too? 🧐I discussed this complex topic with Kathryn Royster in an interview for the @uscwrigley.bsky.social #greengrowth #degrowth #postgrowth dornsife.usc.edu/wrigley/2024...

What a privilege to work with this talented team of @uscdornsife.bsky.social researchers: @aitormarcos.bsky.social and @jailbirdjenna.bsky.social. Jenna was presenting her work on risk perceptions and behavioral responses among people living near one of the most contaminated sites in the USA.

Excited to share our new paper on political polarization and support for wind farms! 🌬️🤝 A deep dive into this complex topic, blending insights from our interdisciplinary team @decisionlab.bsky.social Check it out! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A constant defence of fossil fuel suppliers is "don't attack them, they're just meeting demand for their products", which is ultra-naive LinkedIn-Men absurdity The suppliers of fossil fuels create demand for their product: through politics, marketing, economics and often just flat-out corruption

Another study found that for every 1 degree of warming, we lose 12% of GDP. “Scientists predict a 3°C temperature rise by the end of this century which the NBER report says will cause declines in output, capital and consumption that exceed 50% by 2100.” www.weforum.org/stories/2024...
