New book: An Introduction to Ergodicity Economics A new textbook by SFI External Professor Ole Peters and Alexander Adamou re-examines core assumptions in economic theory. It presents a formal challenge to expected-value thinking and shows how non-ergodicity can arise naturally in economic models.

A unique study of biodiversity in sub-Saharan Africa, in Nature, shows that the region has lost 24% of its biodiversity, and that over 80% of the remaining wild plants and animals live outside protected areas, meaning we have to re-think conservation in Africa. Fig: Nature buff.ly/l8g5vs2

A sub-field of science looks at whether the Atlantic ocean circulation #AMOC has weakened. Direct measurements suggest yes but only started in 2004. So people look at temperature and salinity data. A new study finds a robust slowdown fingerprint at 1000–2000 m depth. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Can Socialism Solve the Climate Crisis?
Governments globally are failing to combat climate change because they prioritise profit over the planet — for real change, the capitalist mode of production must be overhauled.

Godt spørsmål, og tydelig svar. Uten ny naturpolitikk med #arealnøytralitet som prinsipp er det vanskelig å snu trenden. Til sammenlikning har Sveits krav om arealnøytralitet, planvask og maks 20% hytter i hver kommune, og bygger ned minst i Europa. agendamagasin.no/debatt/hvorf...

Hvorfor bygger Norge ned mest natur?
NRK har akkurat dokumentert at vi nordmenn er Europamestre i nedbygging av natur. Ingen andre bygger ned og ødelegger mer natur hvert år pr innbygger enn oss.

Excellent reporting from at @inthesetimes.com that draws from some of my work. The labor movement still hasn’t got its head around the way the institutions of capitalism have changed between the 1930s and today. If the workplace needed democracy then, today pooled assets do as well.

so long as mainstream economics is not pushed out of its reductionist view of human nature and class oblivion, it will have almost nothing meaningful to say about inequalities within societies, nor about international economics when great powers use economic tools to weaken each other. (Milanovic)
