This should save Yunus.
Where did that U come from
So what is it?
My guess is something about oceans.
3·22 days agothere’s a whole debate going on
the 3rd link I posted (https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=OD-7o1jLxc8) is a reply to that cosmonaut article, which itself critiques Hickel
It’s a more classically Marxist way of looking at it.
Marx locates the origin of exploitation in the wage system.
I don’t think you’ll find unequal exchange mentioned in Marx or Engels.
Can we abolish exploitation by trade treaties? Or do we need to abolish capital?
Not sure which side of the debate I am on, still pondering.
Can you summarise?
There is no unequal exchange. Workers in more developed countries get paid more because they produce more per hour. There are statistics showing the amount of steel or the amount of grain produced per man-hour of labour in India might be 10-100 times lower than in the USA or UK (because workers use more technologically advanced tools).
Hickel’s paper says “We find that Southern wages are 87–95% lower than Northern wages for work of equal skill.” – but a worker of equal skill working a big induction furnace to a worker using a charcoal furnace produces more. He does more socially-necessary-labour per labour-hour.

Sounds a bit pie-in-the-sky to me.
Blood ties aren’t becoming unimportant in the short or medium term future.
I presume that is some kind of hoover
61·1 month agoI disagree.
I worry about these pilot studies, because they don’t show the large-scale effects on a nation’s economy.
Simply put: careful of drawing conclusions about UBI from a study on BI
The further into the future you try to predict, the less reliable the model.
I disagree.
Unscientific take on climate change, IMO
What I’ve read from scientists/experts doesn’t paint that picture at all.
Catastrophic weather events will kill millions, but not a billion.
