Made in America is harder than expected Building more roads, modernizing seaports, improving airports and
train stations, and constructing power plants in the country where
construction is most expensive is a huge undertaking that many people fail to grasp....

Accomplices Those who conform, go with the flow, and say little in opposition rise to the top. Those who are not yet sufficiently conformist are corrupted. A great deal of lobbying is carried out to bring members of parliament into line and make them vote the way they want them to. Then the revolving door starts turning, so that after their political career, they get a comfortable, warm, and well-paid job....

The Trump Shock. How should governments respond? The President of the United States has set fire to the global trading
system and is now sitting back, seemingly calm in the face of the
conflagration that has engulfed the global economy.
Donald Trump's actions show that he has not really understood how dangerous his attempt to change the world order is....

Ex-millionaire warns: "Excessive wealth is one of the greatest dangers of our time." "A lot of money makes you lonely. It disconnected me from the
world to a certain extent. Many rich people talk about their mistrust
that those around them only want their money. You're constantly
preoccupied with money, with material things."
“It's not right that average earners pay more taxes than the wealthy” Sebastian Klein...

Capitalism 2.0 It is conceivable that capitalism 2.0 will conserve natural resources more than it has done in the centuries since the First Industrial Revolution, and that patriarchy will come to an end. As long as it continues to exist, however, the following will remain, even under these changed conditions: profit maximization, periodic overaccumulation, crises, and wars....

Agent Orange is now #1 Crow-eater Less than 1 month after POTUS 47 declared "Liberation Day" and boasted that he will--via his tariffs-on-steroids!--win a trade war with China, he has just admitted that the tariffs(up to 245%!) are "too high." Duh, it doesn't take an Einstein to know that all parties lose in a trade war. Especially with Donald's gang of clueless economic gurus, they quickly learned that America is much more dependent on China than the other way around....

Discourse on Colonialism A civilization that proves incapable of solving the problems it creates is a decadent civilization.
A civilization that chooses to close its eyes to its most crucial problems is a stricken civilization.
A civilization that uses its principles for trickery and deceit is a dying civilization....

Trump’s Inverted View of America’s Tariff History Without restructuring the rentier financialized economy to move it back toward the original business plan of industrial capitalism,...his program will fail to re-industrialize America. Indeed, it threatens to push the U.S. economy into depression – for 90 percent of the population, that is....

Trump's tariff spasm: a serious misunderstanding of capital interests The international financial markets have already reacted: stock prices plunged worldwide, as did gas and oil prices – the latter despite an unchanged supply situation. The 15% decline within a few days indicates that the markets are expecting a decline in demand – in other words, a global recession. All the tariffs were reduced to a maximum 10%....

Now is the best time for a reduction in working hours The legal definition of full-time work dates from 1975 and is thus almost 50 years old. The world has changed dramatically since then: where people used to type on a typewriter and send letters by post, digital exchanges now take place in real time. Where products used to be put together piece by piece by hand, highly automated manufacturing processes now run....

Trump, tariffs and the stock market Today, the US is trying to regain its lost strength through protectionism. By raising tariffs, the US is admitting that it has lost its once superior competitive advantage. But it is questionable whether the recipe will work again in today's different situation....

Another world was possible? We live in a time when the richest man in the world can buy a US president. .We talk about overburdened state and national budgets as if the distribution of resources were a law of nature. Utopias are a tricky thing. They don't automatically get closer just because time moves forward. But hope begins with our ability to imagine a better future at all. In this sense: another world is possible....

Capitalism Is Not Natural Adam Smith, the great theorist of early capitalism, remarked in The Wealth of Nations that "Nobody ever saw a dog make a fair and deliberate exchange of one bone for another with another dog. Nobody ever saw one animal by its gestures and natural cries signify to another, this is mine, that yours; I am willing to give this for that."...

Of myths and markets How do we align our myths and our markets in responsible ways? How do we open minds that are closed by fear and discomfort? What Truths need to be deconstructed? What have we sanctified that does not serve the common good? When is the next Axial Age – the age of deepening human consciousness? Is it now? Is it in
time?...

In no man's land "Pacifism is the fundamental fight against any kind of suppression of human desire. Pacifism is uncompromising partisanship for the living. Pacifism is militancy, not necessarily political militancy, but militancy in the attainment of inner truthfulness and freedom, because pacifism is the reconciliation of the human being with himself." (Dieter Duhm)...

Ukraine War: Who is Responsible for this Catastrophe? In EU countries, the extremely effective propaganda narrative of “evil Putin's unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine” is particularly well established in the mainstream media, without reasonable counter-voices being able to find a wider audience in public, as their representatives are regularly defamed and marginalized, for example as “Putin sympathizers”....

Politics still hasn't understood it Never before has Germany been so rich on the one hand and so poor on the other. The well-known political scientist Christoph Butterwegge speaks of a “torn society”. Over the last 40 years or so, neo-liberals in politics, business, science and the media have been responsible for economic and social upheaval – not least for the political shift to the right.

Hope in hopeless times We have to stop a development based on the chase for profit. We have to break capitalism and create other relations. We must protect local biodiversity, prevent the extinction of so many life forms – and P.S.: this means that we must change the relationship between humans and other life forms – and P.S.: this means that we must change the organization of human society...
