I’m familiar with the theory, I’ve just never seen it work. Plus there is no history of industrial development without protection (UK is the sole exception). Not saying it would necessarily work for EU, but reducing trade protection mechanisms to Peronism is a bit of a facile answer.

What makes you think China will stop with cars ? Is there one example of a country that totally de industrialized and remained prosperous ?

Europe’s « competitiveness problem » is that it pays its workers a decent wage and benefits, and that it does so because it is a liberal democracy. Anyone wishing Europe would compete with China with no restrictions should state clearly what becomes of these two features.

An interesting, if a bit over-written, piece on the sociology of inequality. Bonus points for the Deleuze reference henryfudgeofficial.substack.com/p/freehold-o...

How distorted economies turn luxury into necessity, status into debt, and consumption into control.

Indeed. And contrary to what this otherwise excellent piece implies, there were quite a few of these kind of Vacheron readers in the French Revolution.

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon

Panel 1: a large robot (composed of AI servers, network switches, storage arrays, and power distribution units) and a human are talking.

Professor "You don't want to destroy humanity do you, lLLM-A-9300x?"

Robot "Haha. What a silly question, Professor. I have no desires or feelings of my own whatsoever."

Professor (relieved)"Oh good."

Panel 2: they walk on. The robot continues "I am merely a tool of the company that created me. And that company, being composed of humans, will naturally have humanity's best interests at heart."

Panel 3: The professor is conspicuously quiet.
"Right?" says the Robot.
…
More silence

"Professor?"

Not an anecdote. This kind of completely gratuitous destruction, with not event a hint of a possible military justification, is concrete evidence of the Israeli government’s genocidal intentions.

One of the horrible things about bad guys is that they bring the worst in people who try to be good but can’t be saintly. Revenge is bad, but you need a very strong moral fiber to reject it.

This is amazing. An all too rare example of political leadership : instead of leaning into the basest supposed instincts of the electorate, drive the debate by defending with conviction the decent option. I hope he wins.

La répression violente du mouvement lycéen est indigne, dangereuse et doit cesser. C'est irresponsable de prendre le risque de blesser des mineurs pour lever un blocage. Les lycées bloqués ne feront jamais perdre aux jeunes autant d'heure de cours que les classes sans profs qu'ils dénoncent.

Oui mais c’est une excuse facile. La constante du patronat français c’est que ses échecs ne sont jamais de son fait (manque d’innovation, frilosité à l’export, relations sociales déplorables, incurie familiale etc.) mais la faute de l’Etat ou de ses salariés (trop chers, fainéants etc.)

Without parallel initiatives to re-shore or friend-shore supply chains this will remain unusable. Most European factories can’t run for more than a few weeks without inputs from China.

Impossible d'ignorer qu'une des raisons du succès de la visite du Pape en France a été sa récupération par des gens pour qui le principal attrait du catholicisme est de permettre de tracer une frontière entre bons et mauvais français.

This, plus the fact that even if their policy were equivalently bad (they’re not) civil society is much more likely to resist effectively Melenchon’s excesses than Le Pen’s. I really don’t want to see our police forces under a Le Pen admin…
