actually the first one is part of the multidimensional poverty index iirc



That makes sense a bit I guess.

On that vaguely related note: Apparently there are well over 5 billion cell phone subscriptions on the planet today.

mccaine is always railing against the argument that underconsumption contributed to the crisis & that credit is being used to compensate for stagnated wages, especially as harvey talks about it, but i can't ever seem to get past his econo-jargon about the issue. harvey's take on it always seemed to make sense to me.

1. Mathematics is the language of capitalism.
2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers.
3. If you graph these numbers, marxism emerges. Therefore: There is marxism everywhere in capitalism.

accelerationism is a legitimate ideology within the realm of marxist analysis.
