Quelle eloquence ! Quelle incomprehension de l'economie ! (ou peut-etre quel cynisme? Comment distinguer entre les deux?) Je me permets de reproduire le debut mon article du Monde, avec Quentin Vandeweyer, sur l'annulation de la dette detenue par la banque centrale. Le point de base est simple: Au mieux, ca ne sert a rien. Les details sont plus compliques, mais ne changent pas la conclusion, ou la rendent pire. Une mesure a eviter a tout prix. " Pierre et Paul possèdent ensemble une entreprise. Vous êtes le banquier de celle-ci et vous lui avez prêté de l’argent. Vous apprenez un matin que Pi… English, from French What eloquence! What a misunderstanding of economics! (or perhaps what cynicism? How to distinguish between the two?) I take the liberty of reproducing the beginning of my article in Le Monde, with Quentin Vandeweyer, on the cancellation of debt held by the central bank. The basic point is simple: At best, it's useless. The details are more complicated, but they don't change the conclusion, or they make it worse. A measure to be avoided at all costs. "Pierre and Paul together own a company. You are its banker and you have lent it money. You learn one morning that Pi...

Quoting @JLMelenchon La Banque centrale européenne possède une quantité énorme de dette de l'État français. Je propose à tous les États de la zone euro d'annuler cette dette détenue par la BCE. Nous sommes tous membres du système euro, c'est donc une dette que nous nous devons à nous-mêmes. L'officialité médiatique a t… Related

It has been less than four years, since ChatGPT made its public debut, but talk of AI has taken over business, investing and even personal conversations. The AI debate, though, has gone off the tracks as people talk past each other and distractions about. My attempt to make sense of it all: bit.ly

Their words
And now it's Everybody's Perfect, a book that pretty much defines what it means for one text to be "in dialog" with another text. In this case, it's Ada Palmer's Inventing the Renaissance, a stunning magnum opus that tells not just the story of the Renaissance, but the story of the story, all the different ways the Renaissance has been used, abused, revised and recovered, starting with the Renaissance itself. It's a book that will make you rethink everything you know about European history, about the world today, and about the very idea of history itself

This is the best piece of news from 2025 in my opinion: Solar is already close to being the world's biggest energy source, with about 3 TW (= 3000 nuclear power plants!!) worth of installed capacity. This graph from Science Magazine (link below) really says it all - because what do you think will happen next year, then ten years from now as solar keeps getting cheaper and cheaper? solar energy Related

Co-founder of Microsoft and of the Gates Foundation. Writes Gates Notes on global health, energy and climate, and on whatever they have been reading.
In the last 25 years, @gavi has helped over a billion kids live better, healthier lives. Pulling the organization’s funding would have devastating consequences: more sick kids who fall behind in school, more overcrowded hospital wards, and eventually more grieving parents. I’m urging Congress to rethink this decision, fund Gavi, and help save millions more lives. Quoting @MSuzman Today, world leaders reaffirmed their commitment to protecting children from vaccine-preventable diseases, raising $9 billion for @gavi. This reflects strong global confidence in vaccines as one of the most effective investments in global health. As a founding partner, the @gatesfoundation committe… Related

really happy to see my essay on Rosa Luxemburg’s herbarium in the latest issue of Lux Magazine (in very good company). It was a chance not only to consider her beautiful specimens, but also to read her letters from prison(s), a surprising mix of political fervor with mentions of “the titmouse with whom I am friendly.” You need a subscription to read it online, but imho Lux is something very worth subscribing to. I can’t remember the last time I read a magazine cover to cover 🫨 Related

I remember Antifragile blowing my mind several times when I first read it. It didn't exactly have anything dramatically new to say that I hadn't heard before in some way, but it brought together things in a way that I found compelling. It made me rethink and reevaluate a lot of my life and gave me a useful frame for making sense of things with.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
