[El catedrático de Economía calcula que la crisis durará 10 años, insiste en que es la hora de que los técnicos saquen a los políticos de los gobiernos y augura que "tal y como hemos vivido, no volveremos a vivir nunca más". Niño Becerra presenta libro, 'Más allá del crash'. En él ejerce de 'profeta de la crisis', apelativo que se ganó a pulso al pronosticar en 2006 la crisis que se nos venía encima. ...]

[... Ha sido una gran estafa. Estafa de los bancos que inundaron el mundo de hipotecas sin garantías y de porquería financiera. Estafa de los organismos internacionales y la mayoría de los bancos centrales y gobiernos que han creado las condiciones para que los bancos se forren. Estafa de analistas y académicos que proclamaron las virtudes del libre mercado y de la desregulación de las fianzas. Estafa de los líderes políticos que primero dijeron no haberse enterado de nada; luego, ante la gravedad de lo que sucedía, afirmaron que iban a cambiar las cosas, más tarde inventaron excusas como la gripe A o la amenaza terrorista para que los ciudadanos miraran a otra parte y no salieran a la calle y, finalmente, actuaron con el principio de que para salvar la economía había que salvar primero a los bancos que la llevaron al desastre. Estafa de los poderosos del planeta que provocaron este problema gigantesco sin asumir ni pagar sus responsabilidades y que, como siempre, han hecho que las personas débiles y pobres sean quienes sufran y paguen sus criminales destrozos. ...]

[Here's a quit extensive synthesis of "The Penguin and the Leviathan," in my opinion a wonderful book for anyone who is interested in improving and transforming our economic and political institutions. Human motivation is a subject that 'makes me tick'. I really enjoyed reading "The Penguin and the Leviathan", not only because it paints a much nicer picture of "human nature" than the one used by the free marketeers, but also because it gives a glimpse of a future, higher form of society that will be much more based on human cooperation. I think it is important to see that the seeds of this future society are very much present today. ...]

Gower Publishing, 2010 Contents [hide] * 1 Description * 2 Contents * 3 Excerpts o 3.1 Introduction o 3.2 Oppressive Scarcities (pp. 19-20) o 3.3 Conclusions: Strategies for Change o 3.4 Table 9.1: Coalitions for change o 3.5 Resource Use and Property Rights to Minimize Scarcity + 3.5.1 Contributory resource uses + 3.5.2 Neutral resource uses + 3.5.3 Rivalrous resource uses + 3.5.4 Key References on resource use Description "The "economics of abundance" is based on a critique of our present economic system, which finds value only in scarce commodities - i.e., things which can be sold at a high price because demand exceeds supply. Because this economy depends on demand always outstripping supplies, it also depends on "scarcity-generating institutions" - institutions that either manipulate supply or demand in order to keep us in a constant state of need. An economy of abundance seeks to dismantle or reform these scarcity-generating institutions in such a way as to affirm our freedom to live life as art (self-expression to others), social equity (so that everyone can live life as art), and sustainability (so that all life can thrive into the future). Among other things, this implies a much greater role for various forms of shared property, individual and community-level self-reliance, and participatory decision-making."

"For centuries thinkers have assumed that the uniquely human capacity for reasoning has existed to let people reach beyond mere perception and reflex in the search for truth. Rationality allowed a solitary thinker to blaze a path to philosophical, moral and scientific enlightenment.

[...Gleick: When people say that the Internet is going to make us all geniuses, that was said about the telegraph. On the other hand, when they say the Internet is going to make us stupid, that also was said about the telegraph. I think we are always right to worry about damaging consequences of new technologies even as we are empowered by them. History suggests we should not panic nor be too sanguine about cool new gizmos. There's a delicate balance. ...]
