Best of the Left - Leftist Perspectives on Progressive Politics, News, Culture, Economics and DemocracyEnvisioning a Leftisț Economic Future of Postcapitalism, High-Tech Automation, Universal Basic Income and a World (Mostly) Without WorkAir Date 3/1/2024 We don't have to think too hard to understand the fears of a world in which work, and the ability of millions to support themselves, are lost to automation and artificial intelligence. But that is only a capitalist future in which the benefits of technological advancement are hoarded by the already-wealthy. Today we imagine a different path. Be part of the show!

The Skeptical Leftist PodcastEconomic Planning WorksIn this episode Justin takes us through the book, The People’s Republic of Walmart, and the concept of a planned economy as well as planning in other areas of society as well. The People’s Republic of Walmart was written by Leigh Phillips and Michal Rozworski and uses Walmart as an example of how despite the rhetoric of pure unplanned free markets capitalism is actually very planned and society could plan for socialist reasons as well.

Wohlstand für AlleEp. 225: Der vollautomatische Luxus-Kommunismus (und das Elend der linken Theorie)Wohlstand für Alle
Die aktuelle linke Theorieproduktion ist unbefriedigend und blöde, vor allem im englischsprachigen Bereich werden seit Jahren Bücher auf den Markt geworfen, die aus einem halbgaren Gedanken bestehen, der aber auf 300 Seiten ausgewalzt wird. Und so ist es auch zu erklären, dass die aktuellen Debatten über Planwirtschaft an Intelligenzproblemen leiden.
Vor allem zwei Bücher sind dafür verantwortlich: „People’s Repubic of Walmart“ und „Fully Automated Luxury Communism“ – verfasst von Autoren, die zu den hippen Linken zählen, aber offenbar Marx nie gelesen haben. Die Thesen klingen reizvoll: Walmart funktioniert eigentlich wie eine sozialistische Volks...2023-11-2937 min

Mens du lener deg tilbake i din senkapitalistiske dekadanse (også kalt solseng), kan du kanskje få svaret på hvorfor ingen gjør noe med et system som så ubønnhørlig dundrer avgårde mot avgrunnen.

BungacastExcerpt: /323/ Tasty Frictionless Convenience
On the app economy.
[Patreon Exclusive]
Delivery apps have taken the world by storm, and the pandemic only deepened our dependence on them. What is the price of convenience – and is there anything wrong with wanting ease? Capitalist keep propping up these money-losing enterprises – why? And can they survive the end of cheap money?
Is the app economy just a battering ram against labour rights? Are delivery apps out to kill off traditional restaurants? And should we defend the petite bourgeoisie and independent bars and pubs?
And does the dream of freedom sold by apps to workers, of being your own boss...2023-02-2110 min

Siden Sovjetunionens sammenbrud har der været generel konsensus om at markedsøkonomier er bedre en planøkonomier til at sikre økonomisk vækst, effektivitet og materiel fremgang. Men med den moderne kapitalisme er store og hypereffektive multinationale selskaber vokset frem. Disse fungerer internt som planøkonomiske kommandostrukturer og har en omsætning på størrelse med enkelte landes økonomier. Kan planøkonomi lade sig gøre alligevel2022-05-1532 min

Srsly WrongEp 178 – The People’s Republic of Walmart (w/ Leigh Phillips & Michal Rozworski)
Walmart is the world’s largest corporation, a mantle it has achieved by (internally) eschewing market-based allocation, and developing itself into a sophisticated and well-functioning globally-planned economy.
This week, guests Leigh and Michal join the Wrong Boys to talk about their new book, and how analyzing the biggest, multinational, consumer-facing corporations puts to rest the myth that economic planning doesn’t work.

Leigh Phillips and Michal Rozworski propose we look at Walmart and other giant corporations as sites of planning, not of markets -- and that this fact proves planning works.
