does anyone have a link for the neoliberal animate the host mentioned?
This guy is great...
a recent book by Jeremy Rifkin (author of "The End of Work") was just released discussing the future of our economy based on technological trends and human behavior. Check out "The Zero Marginal Cost Society"
Also see the documentaries:
"Zeitgeist Moving Forward"
"Paradise or Oblivion"
and "Will Work for Free" ( A doc on Technological Unemployment)
Brilliant!
Let's work together in the same direction. The Venus Project is a scientifically-based template for society with a focus on human needs through global abundance using technology that is already available today.
this guy understands. very smart.
look up the you tube vid titled: economic calculation in a natural law RBE. Peter joseph berlin.........the RBE idea is the ONLY one I have researched that has any hope of creating a better future and solving all these massive problems.
Have you looked up left-anarchism and its possibilities for the future? It seems to be a great alternative as well, with many similarities to the RBE idea.
Ben Adams The RBE is a specific model for an economic system and could well fit under the classification of left libertarian. Left libertarianism as a general political orientation doesn't specify a particular economic system.
w hendricso "… left libertarianism assumes that a stable society can be generated by placing responsibility in the hands of an elite ruling class". Actually, it assumes the opposite, namely, that a stable society can be created only when the means of production (natural and technological resources) are declared “the common heritage of all the world’s people” i.e. owned in common and organised through popular control, not an “elite ruling class”. In fact left libertarianism strives to abolish all class divisions, period, as well as all forms of authority which cannot be empirically justified. The resource based economy employs no authoritarian institutions, all decisions are arrived at through the scientific method and are therefore empirical, and "all of the world's resources are declared the common heritage of all the world’s people” i.e. owned in common. By the way, the definition you give in your last paragraph is a complete contradiction of your first sentence.
mars Cubed Then let's call them the Cruel Shoes. ;)
Sorry couldn't resist.
Clever joke at the end.
just say no to right wing economics. we are in an era of technological advances where there is plenty to go around. we need basic income for all.
