Agorist.dk giver dig lidt doven fredagslinkage til weekenden.
- “We Need to Create a Parallel Economy” – Ikke alle stemmer i Occupy Wall Street bevægelsen taler om mere regulering eller stærkere stat. Her er et forslag til opbygning af en alternativ økonomisk struktur efter kooperative principper.
- Kevin Carson leverer en stærk kritik af Occupy bevægelsen:
“The “Jobs for All” agenda is essentially a return to a greenwashed version of the centralized corporate-state Consensus Capitalism of the mid-20th century. That model relied on massive waste and capital investment boondoggles by the state to guarantee full utilization of capacity and full employment — the very pathologies of corporate capitalism that the folks at Monthly Review have been pointing to for years. Just leave the centralized, capital-intensive, bureaucratic structure of Galbraithian capitalism intact, and then let the state build a new (but greenwashed!) Interstate Highway System every ten years to keep it running at capacity. Then everybody can work forty hours a week at a “job” doing things at least half of which are the moral equivalent of digging holes and filling them back in again, in an economy organized by Rube Goldberg. It’s the world depicted in the movie “Brazil.”
In other words, we’ve got a bunch of “Leftists” who are nostalgic for retro capitalism.”
- Mere Kevin, denne gang om the war on drugs.
- Charles Johnson bringer udddrag fra bogen “Markets not Capitalism”, som han har udgivet sammen med Gary Chartier. Hvis ikke du har downloadet den gratis eller bestilt en fysisk kopi (du ved, de der gammeldags dimser af papir), så kan du gøre det her. Denne bog er et must-read!
Sheldon Richman giver et perspektiv på den kritik af Wall Street, der har lydt fra Occupy-bevægelsen:
