So even anarchy needs regulation for it to work! How ironic though very logical. The trick is understanding how much regulation is needed and how much can hinder the functioning of society, or make certain services more expensive. I half understand why regulation annoys some - it’s time consuming and costly - AI might help. Whatever, regulation in some shape or form is a necessity. 2025-02-18T13:54:17Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszttyfjyzc39ecrp740mh23txpmlest3va2xxw6nxn7nusmxjt7rgzyrznf3w3tdh303xra7zakc3tzu9vd2hf0hqs70vf59nrw6mlsmaujl2sqmr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswx4lv60nv2elww8gr53snx9p5l9w57s5k59qftqaagtwf9w4tdys75shzq'>nevent1q…shzq</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thatcherism went hand in hand with Reaganism, both of which were neoliberalism. At the time, some saw how toxic Thatcher and Reagan’s ideologies were but the actual effects have taken 2 to 3 decades to manifest themselves and have toxic effect on society as a whole while handsomely benefitting the top 1%. We’re now in a real mess, and it’s going to get messier. 2025-02-18T13:45:38Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszwm3ykz3kjcv909ud70xclc0nlxanv4zn6wealer730kzx7pxaqgzyrznf3w3tdh303xra7zakc3tzu9vd2hf0hqs70vf59nrw6mlsmaujyrcxy9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs26ap4k2d63jw4aefn4enx0jf4mf4llnguwr9ft8n2g7xgeqggnwsgkgupd'>nevent1q…gupd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I was thinking about the 2008 recession which was caused by deregulation and about private equity which makes lots of money for a few people while often having a deleterious effect on society at large and proceeds in part owing to a lack of regulation. With the possible exception of anarchy, all isms require some form of regulation to work. Authoritarianism is regulation on steroids!

Am not alone! Simple logic really. Once a society has developed and most people have more or less everything, we&#39;re in replacement territory so growth is very hard to achieve.

Anyway, your comment is right on the nail. Am not sure how everyone has reacted to the proposals yet and getting everyone in the EU to agree will not be easy. Personally, am not convinced growth is the answer - it&#39;s also resource intensive and thus not overly environmentally friendly either.

Two papers, one is 69 pages and the other over 350. In the foreword of the first, mention is made of trying to bring growth back to Europe, only the investment required to achieve this is much, much higher than Marshall plan levels, so bringing growth back will not be easy. 2024-09-21T09:18:29Z
