October 3rd, Germany celebrates Reunification. But what has actually been reunited is the East's resentment with the West's arrogance.

Here’s How the Left Can Defeat the Fascists The ‘Radical Centre’ has lost control of the capitalist crisis it helped create and the far right is on the march across Europe. Only anti-fascist economics, writes Yanis Varoufakis, can stop it. https://t.co/lpYK6jILAj #AntiFascism #RadicalCentre #EconomicJustice #EU

In this AI focussed episode of The Econoclasts, Wolfgang and I expose the hypocrisy of AI techlords calling for their own 'containment', when in reality they use apocalyptic warnings as marketing devices and as ploys by which to get governments to release them from every #AI #TechHypocrisy #Econoclasts #Therearenospecificcountrymentionsinthetweet.Therefore #theresponseis:
EEA-membership is not associated EU membership. It is membership of the Single Market - which Canada will NEVER join (as it would condemn Canada to accepting rules, standards and regulations over which it would not be consulted - and for which it would have to pay billions to the #EEAmembership #SingleMarket #Canada #CA
What comes after capitalim? Wolfgang Munchau and I (yes, The Econoclasts!) will continue our mission to dismantle economic orthodoxy – but this time, we are tackling the ultimate false assumption: the permanence of capitalism.
