Our mobilisation was initially aimed at protesting against the French Labour Law. This reform is not an isolated case, since it comes as a new piece in the austerity measures which already affected our European neighbours and which will have the same effects as the Italian Job Acts or the Reforma Laboral in Spain. This concretely means more layoffs, more precarity, growing inequalities and the shaping of private interests. We refuse to suffer this shock strategy, notably imposed in the context of an authoritarian state of emergency. The debates taking place in the assemblies on Republic square prove that the general exasperation goes way beyond the Labour Law and opens a more global issue: the reconsideration of a social and political system stuck into a deep crisis and on its way out. We will not be the ones crying because of its end. This movement was not born and will not die in Paris. From the Arab Spring to the 15M Movement, from Tahrir Square to Gezi park, Republic square and the plenty of other places occupied tonight in France are depicting the same angers, the same hopes and the same conviction: the need for a new society, where Democracy, Dignity and Liberty would not be hollow shells. Supporting testimonies received from abroad warm us and strengthen our commitment. This movement is yours too. It has no limit, no border and it belongs to all of those who wish to be part of it. We are thousands, but we can be millions. Together, standing, awake. Let’s rise up together. *The #40mars (9 of april), organise your #Nuitdebout* Press contact: nuitdeboutpresse(a)riseup.net *Other languages: https://www.convergence-des-luttes.org/appel-nuit-debout/nuit-debouts-call-… <https://www.convergence-des-luttes.org/appel-nuit-debout/nuit-debouts-call-…>* @NuitDebout Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NuitDebout/ Tumblr: https://nuitdebout.tumblr.com/ _______________________________________________ n-1 working group: https://n-1.cc/pg/groups/104127/take-the-square-international/ Squares mailing list Squares(a)lists.takethesquare.net for unsubscribe/etc: https://lists.takethesquare.net/mailman/listinfo/squares or Squares-owner(a)lists.takethesquare.net _______________________________________________ NetworkedLabour mailing list NetworkedLabour(a)lists.contrast.org http://lists.contrast.org/mailman/listinfo/networkedlabour -- Check out the Commons Transition Plan here at: http://commonstransition.org P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/

Fwd: History US Military Economy
by Michel Bauwens 09 Apr '16

interesting, shows the inverse relationship between military spending and economic growth over a long period of time ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bob Reuschlein <bobreuschlein(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, Apr 9, 2016 at 7:28 PM Subject: History US Military Economy To: Link to send or tweet to others: *https://bobreuschlein.wordpress.com/2016/04/09/history-us-military-economy/ <https://bobreuschlein.wordpress.com/2016/04/09/history-us-military-economy/>* *100 Year History US Military Economy * by Professor Robert Reuschlein *ROOSEVELT**’s New Deal, 1933-1945* New Deal deficits create strong economic growth: correlation .73 from 1934 through 1939. New Deal Provides Five Times War Growth: Total growth from 1933 to 1941 was 86%. Total growth from 1942 to 1947 was 17%. Unemployment change followed deficit change R=.74. Note that unemployment decreased at a steady rate from 1934-1941 except for one year. That one year, 1938, the increase set back the recovery by about three years. Without that setback the economy would have recovered in1940. That setback was actually a two year process, when Roosevelt attempted to balance the budget. This created the mistaken impression that World War II caused the ending of the Great Depression. This delayed recovery caused the end of the Great Depression to be postponed until 1943 instead. The biggest economic drop years in the last 100 years cover the multiyear 1930-33 trade war of the Great Depression and the 2 post world war three year stagnation periods 1919-21 and 1945-47. Reality follows with a simple model based on Military Lowering & Deficit Raising Economic Growth Rate: Best Fit occurs from 1941-1948, with Correlation of -0.97. Key statistic is the Net Military Burden (Military minus Deficit) Increases from 1941 to 1946 steadily lowering the growth rate from positive 15.9% to negative 11.9%. 1946-1948 both trends reverse as the lowest military (3.7% of the economy) of the entire Cold War in 1948 creates enough growth to re-elect President Truman. *WILSON and the Twenties (1913-1926)* Note the 1914 US economic slump as the World War begins. Not unlike the Swedish slump in WWII. Both are cases of a neutral country losing trade with some of the warring parties. Note how the war boom is more than cancelled by the three year postwar slump. Note how the postwar slump translates into Wilson's League of Nations confirmation problem. Note how the roaring twenties only roared for five years (1922-26), after the Spindeltop Texas oil surge and automobile sales covered the easy top 20% of Americans, then stalled. Although the stock market crashed October 28, 1929, the economic growth drops of the Great Depression did not start until June 1930 when the Smoot Hawley tariff bill was signed into law. *HOOVER** Election and the Great Depression (1927-1933)* Hoover was elected in the 1927-1928 two year no growth economy. The Smoot-Hawley special session of Congress starting in September 1929 lead to the stock market crash four days after the bill was finalized by the committee. Economy continued strong until the June 11, 1930 signing of bill. 1000 economists signed a petition to Hoover to not sign the bill predicting it would lead to a trade war with Europe. Trade was 7% of the economy in 1929. After the signing of the bill, trade dropped to 2% of a then 30% lower economy in 1933. Hoover attempts to balance the budget doubled the rate of collapse in 1932. Economy bottomed in1933 due to lost trade from bill at an unemployment rate of 25%. *ROOSEVELT** NEW DEAL* Notice that the economy grows about 10% per year 1934-1943 except for 1937-38. The 1938 recession was due to trying to balance the budget running for reelection in 1936. The new social security tax and jobs program cuts shrunk economic growth 5% and increased unemployment from 14% in 1937 to 19% in 1938. Without this blunder, full employment would have been by 1940 not 43. Unemployment was dropping about 3% per year with New Deal jobs program spending. We would have been spared the myth the war ended the depression. Note the high net military burden devastates the growth rate in the 1944-47 period. *TRUMAN* With the tariff bill crashing the world economy in depression, the GATT restarts world trade January 1, 1948 and combined with lowest military of the Cold War to produce the first growth after the war in 1948, just in time to re-elect Truman after three years of negative growth. *EISENHOWER* Ike doubles Truman's 5% military to 10% military budget percent of the economy after Korea leading to the worst decade of the Cold War in lost share of world GNP by the US. *KENNEDY* Kennedy increases the deficit with an investment tax credit which steals all the credit from the lower military also creating the sixties boom. *JOHNSON* Johnson's war stalls the economy with flat productivity in 1967 and slowing growth in 1969-1970. *NIXON* The burst of growth in 1972 comes as Nixon signs a 20% social security increase into law. But Watergate, end of war, and oil crisis trigger two year slump in 1974-75. The recovery comes to late in 1976 to save Ford. This preserves the record of low military states losing all Cold War elections as the man from high military Georgia wins. *CARTER* Carter's does the responsible raising taxes in 1978. Economy slows in 1979-80 further due to oil crisis and military buildup. *REAGAN* The biggest peacetime increase in military spending of the Cold War hires jobs away from productive industries, creating the 1982 recession and 10.8% unemployment. The three year phased in tax cuts were twice as large as the military increase, giving a net stimulus to the economy by re-election year 1984 as the high military half of the country grows at triple the rate of the low military half of the country. This military states real estate bubble bursts in the Savings and Loan crisis at the end of the decade. *BUSH 41* The 1990 tax increase and the three year post Cold War slump combine to defeat him in 1992. The Gulf war is not enough to stop the tide of the massive end of Cold War military cuts. These released military resources later create a great manufacturing boom in the nineties under the next president. *CLINTON* The 1993 military cut combines with Bush 41 Cold War peace dividend and the fastest changing part of the long cycle boom period to give prosperity and a balanced budget. Despite 1993 trade treaties manufacturing jobs and incomes rise as 23 million jobs are added to the economy. Trade losses are not enough to offset the manufacturing injection from the end of the Cold War military economy. Military spending economy drops from 6.5% in 1986 to 2.9% by 1999, adding 3.6% of GDP to capital investment in the real economy each year. The normal 54 year cycle takes the form of the internet economy, which is so strong that while balanced budgets slow the stock market, the economy continues for a while longer before the mild military buildup at the end of the Clinton years creates a stall that is amplified by the post 9-11 two year military buildup. *BUSH 43* 2.8 million factory jobs are lost in the two year military buildup after 9-11-01, 1 million from trade and 1.7 million from the military buildup. Iraq surge helps trigger the collapse of the house of cards mortgage fall in 2007 set up by runaway real estate in military buildup states in the early war years. This is very similar to what happened in the eighties Reagan military buildup followed by the Savings and Loan bust. Once again the bi-coastal military and the monetary drain the real economy of the industrial Midwest where job losses were triple those of the military half of the nation. Military spending surged from $280 billion before 9-11 to $405 billion including homeland security increase after 9-11. *OBAMA* The first Democrat since World War II to *NOT* cut military in his first year in office, adding to the sluggish economic recovery. Bad advice came from hawk economist Larry Summers. Obama should have listened to Biden or Clinton’s Nobel Laureate Economist Joseph Stiglitz. Tripling troop levels in Afghanistan was not good for the economic recovery, although Larry Summers’ military Keynesianism would predict that military jobs would be good for the economy.

Fwd: A Decentralized Odyssee; summary of March
by Michel Bauwens 09 Apr '16

09 Apr '16

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mathijs de Bruin <mathijs(a)dsrp.eu> Date: Sun, Apr 10, 2016 at 2:04 AM Subject: A Decentralized Odyssee; summary of March To: Cc: Irena Turcinovic <irena(a)dsrp.eu> (English version below…) Lieve vrienden, English ———————————————————————————————————————————————— Dear friends, As you might know, last month we drove off by car to the South of Europe, to explore various sustainable, natural, decentralized and autonomous forms of living- and perhaps also…to escape the winter. Want to know where we are or ware we have been? For a while now, Mathijs has set up a digital map, which automatically keeps up the position of our car. You can find the map in the link below: https://maps.dokterbob.net Our journey plans, in as far as they are known, we will publish on the Hackpad of the Decentralized Society Research Project: https://decentralize.hackpad.com/Iternary-2016-gfjSSjeTTj3 Furthermore, we have made pictures, selected them, and placed them online: https://cloud.dokterbob.net/index.php/apps/gallery/s/M0up5odmM5hjQzj# Roughly, in March we have visited the following places: 1. The house of Jip’s parents in Lunas in Southern France- to breathe out the city and breathe in the country side and nature. 2. “Els Gorgs” (“Gorgistan”) the (winter) residency of the Dutch (and international) natural construction fanatics “Mas con Menos”. 3. Peace Garden “Lung Ta”, the ‘neighbors’ of El Gorgs, where finally we truly succeeded to let go of the city. 4. The post-capitalistic, eco-industrial, hacker colony “Ca La Fou”. 5. Can Pipirimosca, an ecological farm near the town “Valls”. 6. La Casa del Dragon, one of the locations of the decentralized artists/ecological community “Famila Feliz” . Hence, we’ve been keeping ourselves quite busy. We shall now briefly touch the mentioned destination, to give you a rough impression of our experiences. Apart from that, on Mathijs’ blog about decentralized communities, we will try to publish more in-depth info and stories. In case the address has passed your attention: http://dsrp.eu Lunas ——— Lunas a wonderful old village in the mountains near Perpignan. Jip de Ridder, founder of the ‘Commoneasy’ peer-to-peer insurance and his parents, offered us make a stop here and get used to the rhythm of travelling and natural environment without spending our whole travel budget in South of France.. We have spent about a week in this beautiful area; made trips through the hills and cuddled before the stove to keep us warm. We were happy to breath out our packing-stress, before going to our first (topical) destination. Els Gorgs ———— Through multiple channels Mathijs got across the name ‘Gorgistan’ and ‘Mas con Menos’. After meeting Sieger on a meeting about a Dutch eco-village-festival, we proposed to visit them outside of their regular schedule of natural building workshops. However, due to a tiny miscommunication, the inhabitants of Els Gorgs turned out not to be informed about our arrival. Regardless, we stayed a single night in the old mine of Gorgistan, made a big walk through the area and by excellent advice of Sieger, pursued our way to the nearby Peace Garden ‘Lung Ta’. https://decentralize.hackpad.com/Gorgistan-2etqYCXb2XT Lung Ta ——— In the wonderful peace garden of Lung Ta, we were received by Isabel, a spiritual (but pleasantly undogmatic) 70 year old lady with the vigor of a youngster. We felt received as long lost members of the family. The first nights we even slept in the meditation room! At Lung Ta, we worked four hours in the garden/kitchen. The rest of the time were mostly finding inner peace and: enjoying. After the first couple of nights we moved to the dusty, Romanesque house of Isabel, which was thousand year old. There, we shared a bent-through, one-person bed but slept like babies. Nevertheless, after a while we decided it was time to leave; other interesting destinations were awaiting on our horizon. https://decentralize.hackpad.com/1320-Peace-Garden-Lung-Ta-fv8expaLG4J Ca La Fou ————— After various documentaries and a lot of stories of friends, especially Mathijs was having very high expectations of this community. However it would have been wise if we had contacted them weeks before as they had limited capacity of receiving visitors. Furthermore, the provided information about limited facilities turned out to be very accurate indeed. Luckily we found an Airbnb in the nearby town and were received very warmly by our host. Across the end of April, Ca La Fou will organize the event “Hack the Earth”. There is a small chance we will make it to be present there on our way to Italy. If not, we will have save a meeting with Ca La Fou for a next journey. https://decentralize.hackpad.com/Ca-la-fou-26snajVPS8C https://calafou.org/ca/content/simbiotica-hacktheearth-2016-tallers-confirm… Can Pipirimosca ——————— After our visit to Ca La Fou, we wanted to pay the artist’s community “Casa Del Dragon” a visit, but on that moment, it was not the right occasion yet. Juan, the initiator of La Casa Del Dragon referred us to the ecological farm, which refuses to call itself ‘a community’ but does receive volunteers (and WOOF’ers) and experiments with self-sustainable, ecological gardening. After a terrifying exit from the highway (it appeared so sudden, we had to choose rather to ride in the grass bank or hit a truck!) we were received with a simple room and meal. As we were near a highway and warned that the rooster (unlike they teach us in children’s books) would begin to crow from 4 'o clock onwards, Mathijs preventively put his earplugs in that night. The following four days we were put to work hard on the land from day until night. On the first day we helped preparing the soil for sowing (the plants). The days after, we worked as unpaid construction workers on the realization of a garden shed. The standard working day at Can Pipirimosca took 7 hours. You can imagine, how as city folks (softies), we were approaching exhaustion. Perhaps this place learned us that authoritarian/hierarchic ways of working combined with long, physical labor, was really not for us. We realized how important it is for us to be actively involved in processes and to have a dialogue. We found ourselves thirsty for creativity, physical work combined with mental engagement and - we have to admit - a basic level of comfort. https://decentralize.hackpad.com/Pipirimosca-cRIHjy986uN La Casa del Dragon ————————— To get over a week in an environment reminding us of our homeland (in the sense of its flatness and traffic noise), we went to camp in a natural park at the beachfront. It was marvelous to be able to breath healthy air, hear no cars and we spent a cozy night in the tent (although opinions on camping diverge amongst ourselves). The next day Juan received us in ‘the house of the dragon’ in the eye-catching, picturesque, fairy tale town Cervera del Maestre (half an hour from the coast town of Vinaròs), where we are staying at the moment. Although we pay 10 euro per night for our stay here, we enjoy life and relative self-determination. The work is satisfying and involving and only takes up part of our days. Juan, our host, invests a lot of attention in teaching both theory and practise. For example: yesterday Irena and Mathijs learned how to plant grapevines and avocado plants and have helped to build a (concrete!) sculpture in the garden. Plus we are in an environment of which the rustic beauty is hard to express in words. Apart from that, the living community’s way of organizing and balancing power is very interesting. Juan, the artist and initiator, has a lot of valuable experience in building, agriculture, social experiments and living communities. It was worthwhile to get to know him as well as other visitors of this house. https://decentralize.hackpad.com/Casa-del-Dragon-UjUQwyNZCRE Next destinations —————————— Having visited a lot of places where we volunteered, after La Casa del Dragon we feel the need to distance ourselves from this mode a bit and to fully manage our own time and to be able to document and process the gained lessons and reflect upon it. The coming week we expect to go to Granada, to perhaps visit the sea shortly and to visit Toca de Coelho (‘The Hole of the Rabbit’) in Algarve, which is in the South of Portugal. We’ll keep you up to date of our adventures!

book announcement: Digital Transitions
by Andreas Wittel 08 Apr '16

08 Apr '16

This book may be of interest to political economists of media and communication. / / Wittel, Andreas (2016), Digital Transitions. Saarbrücken: Lambert Academic Publishing. Description: Digital Transitions explores the relationship between technological changes and the social, political, economic, and cultural contexts in which these changes occur. Digital technologies have moved into every corner of life and the classic separation between work and non-work has become obsolete. The digital economy has become indistinguishable from life in the digital age. This is a book about the merger of economy and life, about life in digital capitalism. It explores four moments of digital transitions: The first chapter explores transitions of sharing, both as a concept or an ideology and as a social practice. The second chapter explores a transition in the political economy of media and communication and its recent turn to the work of Marx. The third chapter focuses on the building of the digital commons and its very particular economy of contribution. The final chapter turns the light on academic cultures and inspects the activist turn in academia. Keywords: political economy; Marx; capitalism; digital media; activism; sharing; digital commons Here you can order a copy for your library. https://www.lap-publishing.com/catalog/details//store/gb/book/978-3-659-779… Or here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Digital-Transitions-Andreas-Wittel/dp/3659779644 Here you can download a free PDF file of the book. https://www.academia.edu/22598468/Digital_Transitions
