Surprising no-one, a Cambridge study shows that the more connected your society is to the global economy the more at risk you are in virtually everything from water shortages to pandemics. Small really is beautiful. https://t.co/Q04A8F3r5l

But He Won't Repudiate Feminism

The family is the harmonious union of the differences between man and woman, capable of opening themselves to life and to others. Let us #PrayTogether for families so that they might remain united throughout these difficult times and lend a hand to those in need. #DayofFamilies

Is This Proper for a Religious?

VATICAN—On the eve of @Pontifex’s Mass with the Myanmar community, Sr. Ann Rose Nu Tawng sat down with journalists to discuss her new book, witnessing to her brave stance before soldiers during the Myanmar protests.

Or is she a mistaken but willing tool for pro-"democracy" forces in Myanmar?

Oligarchy Loves Consumerism

The production of “Homo amazonicus” — which is finally the whole tendency of high-tech capitalism — ­requires the destruction of anything that stands in the way of ­efficiency, including communal bonds and family ties.

"Asceticism"?

There are few I disagree with so much while finding their writing so interesting as @BrankoMilan

Here he dismisses asceticism as a medieval relic without noticing how it stalks industrial modernity - work, leisure etc, just not consumerist ideology. Discussed in Ch16 of my book https://t.co/1ebJK4pbOC

A Truly Toxic Environment

Sperm counts of ordinary men around the world are dropping. Girls reach puberty earlier, and women have more miscarriages. Some male fish carry eggs and mammal penis size is shrinking. What's going on? Some scientists point to endocrine disruptors https://t.co/LlHCV0IfeX

Unfortunately Keen has joined the MMT bandwagon.

I can't recommend this podcast with @ProfSteveKeen enough:https://t.co/QXOwmOh4h2
If you want to learn some key MMT insights with some new wrinkles that don't get a lot of play, you can't go wrong with Steve, who is not an MMTer but to his great credit covers MMT most fairly.

The "Market" Is an Impersonal Abstraction

What matters is who dominates and makes rules for the market: the oligarchs, including corporations.
