Nothing Grows Forever (Mother Jones)

Bra om nullvekst-økonomi, om enn overfladisk.

I samme gata:

kritikk av Daly i siste rwer, "Beyond growth or beyond capitalism" av Richard Smith;

lignende argument i Is De-Growth Compatible with Capitalism? av Alejandro Nadal (triple crisis);

og Ecological Economics and Money: Nadal Responds to Daly. Ingressen fra siste:

The Triple Crisis Blog and The Daly News blog are engaged in an interesting discussion of how the field of Ecological Economics treats money, partly in response to Alejandro Nadal’s piece on Triple Crisis, “Money Matters, Mr. Daly.” Herman Daly posted a comment there and posted a piece on the subject on his own blog, “Money and the Steady State Economy.” Rob Dietz also has a related post there, “Money is a COW.” Here, Nadal, author of the forthcoming volume from Zed Books, on the macroeconomics of sustainability, responds:

Dessverre har verken Daly'erne eller Nadal grok'et MMT, så diskusjonen blir litt på tværs av det som hadde vært mest hensiktsmessig. Men det er mange interessante poenger her likevel.


Only scientist in Commons 'alarmed' at MPs' ignorance (The Independent)

Bombe. Not.
