Le Problème de la Bande-Passante Économique
Par Håkan Geijer. Article original:  The Economic Bandwidth Problem. Traduction française par Leuk. Ces trois dernières décennies, on a assisté à un regain de popularité pour des approches de gauche, non-marchandes, de l’organisation économique. Ce renouveau est le résultat d’une convergence de facteurs, notamment le fait qu’avec la chute de l’union soviétique et l’omniprésence du…
The Undeclared Condominium: The USSR As Partner in a Conservative World Order
    The Undeclared Condominium The USSR As Partner in a Conservative World Order   Introduction Although the Right has typically framed the Soviet Union and “International Communism” as an aggressive and subversive revolutionary force, the reality is — at the very least — considerably more nuanced. In fact, it would be more accurate to…

De Gary Chartier. Artigo original: What’s Wrong with Inequality?, de 22 de janeiro de 2016. Traduzido para o português por Gabriel Camargo. Caso você acredite nos analistas, pode acreditar que preocupações acerca da desigualdade em nossa sociedade apenas são produto de invejosos ou ignorantes econômicos. Essa é mais uma razão para não acreditar neles. O…

Economic Philosophy for the Self-Interested Worker
I’ve been re-reading Avrahm Yarmolinksi’s Road to Revolution. It’s one of my favorite books on radical history. I happened to stumble upon it by chance sometime in twenty seventeen, a mere year after first self identifying with anarchism. Back then, while I never totally identified with anarcho-communism, I was adjacent to that as I primarily…
Bargaining Power and Prices: A Response to Sanyazi and Carson
In a way, the theory of supply and demand explains prices. But in another, more accurate way, bargaining theory explains prices.  The idea that the prices of commodities are determined by the bargaining power of the buying and selling parties is not new, having been raised in the nineteenth century, but it does not play…

I, Pencil Revisited
  Introduction There is probably no libertarian polemic more widely distributed and more familiar, or held in higher esteem, than “I, Pencil: My Family Tree as told to Leonard E. Read.” It originally appeared in the December 1958 issue of The Freeman. It has since been circulated as a pamphlet by the Foundation for Economic…
No, Deficit Spending Isn’t the Problem…
The Need For It Is. At Reason, J.D. Tuccille (“Worried About the Debt Fight? Make the Hard Spending Decisions That Politicians Won’t!”) restates a familiar refrain of the libertarian right: “it’s easy to forget that a statutory limit to federal borrowing isn’t the real issue; the real problem is that the federal government habitually spends…
On “Understanding Economics” and Galaxy Brains
At Pluralistic, Cory Doctorow comments on libertarian elitists like Bryan Caplan and Jason Brennan, who argue for restricting the franchise because most people “Just Don’t Understand Economics”:  When you compare the views of the average person to the views of the average PhD economist, you find that the public sharply disagrees with such obvious truths…

L’oppressione è un Gioco a Somma Negativa
Di Dawie Coetzee. Originale: Oppression is a Negative-Sum Proposition, del 30 maggio 2022. Traduzione di Enrico Sanna. Giusto una cosetta da nulla, un’inezia. Si era rotto il flessibile della vasca da bagno. L’attacco era ad angolo. Per aggiustarla bastava un gomito tra l’attacco a muro e il tubo flessibile, una di quelle cosa che si…
Laurance Labadie’s “Comments on S.E. Parker”
Comments on S.E. Parker Re article by Sid Parker Mr. Parker totally misapprehends the meaning of the economics of liberty or anarchy. He can hardly evade the charge of being remiss, nor gloss over what may be his own ignorance, by attributing the words “panacea” and “system” to the insistence of individualist anarchists that equitable…
Oppression is a Negative-Sum Proposition
It was really the silliest thing; a trifle in the scheme of things. The hose to the hand-shower in our bathtub broke, because the way it was installed required the hose to make a sharp bend. Fixing it so that it would last required the installation of a right-angle elbow between the wall spout and…
