Ma vie se résume à croire en la destruction du capitalisme, étudier des rivières, faire de la boxe, glorifier Marx et Lénine, faire du Vélib la nuit dans Paris, rédiger mon mémoire, manger des pâtes au pesto et me morfondre dans mon lit

Someone please talk about why privitisation of electricity is bad. Why is no one talking about it. The protest in Haryana is not restricted to the question of wages or jobs, it also extends to disagreement regarding who benefits from a grid built with public money.

NCERT removed the French Revolution from the syllabus, so the French decided to bring it back into current affairs.

vivid and excellent illustration of the limits of identity-based feminism when it doesn't include the labour/capital foundation

Why is a generation rising in revolt against Modi? And what price are they paying for it? October 10th through the eyes of four protesters With my colleague @raghavKakkar30 for @scroll_in youtu.be/JUSdICy_2l8?si=D-XY…

Is it Delhi police’s job to do this? Why are they acting as political workers of the BJP? How do they know permission won’t be granted for October 10 protests?

La muerte de Anwar Shaikh supone el adiós del principal economista marxista contemporáneo. Su obra de décadas quedó cristalizada en Capitalism: Competition, Conflict, Crises (2016), que explica con detalle cómo funciona el sistema a través de la “turbulenta competencia real”. Yo destacaría también dos trabajos menos conocidos: 1) Su crítica de la función de producción agregada neoclásica en los setenta, que obligó a Robert Solow a contestar. Shaikh demostró que el buen ajuste econométrico de esas funciones no prueba nada y que es un resultado de una identidad contable. Lo ilustró con datos inventados que dibujaban la palabra HUMBUG (patraña). Es un argumento central, aunque técnico. Pese a ello, los neoclásicos (y buena parte de los economistas) siguen usando esos métodos. Recientemente Jesús Felipe y yo hemos extendido esta crítica a la economía ecológica. 2) Su aportación sobre el comercio exterior y la balanza de pagos. Shaikh sostuvo que el comercio internacional se rige por la ventaja absoluta (Smith) y no por la comparativa (Ricardo) y que los capitales compiten por costes también entre países, con los de menor coste acumulando superávits mientras los demás financian déficits persistentes con deuda. Así obtenía un intercambio desigual sin recurrir, como Emmanuel, a diferencias salariales dadas de antemano. Sus trabajos con @IsabellaMWeber sobre el desequilibrio comercial entre EE. UU. y China son fundamentales para entender la actualidad económica. En fin, una pérdida inmensa para la economía, para el marxismo y para la clase trabajadora. Que descanse en paz.

Sad news. Today, we lost one of the greatest thinkers of political economy. Rest in peace Anwar Shaikh.
Fun fact: Anwar Shaikh was born in Karachi, Pakistan.
