Capitalism Is Dead – Long Live Capital — Crooked Timber
"I find the insight that we no longer live in a common market – which of course relies on a set of intuitions that have been around for a while and have been hinted at by many, but which has never been spelled out quite as clearly – uniquely valuable regardless" https://crookedtimber.org/2024/03/25/capitalism-is-dead-long-live-capital/

@baldur Hm. I more or less agree with the article, but there's one sentence in particular that bothers me: "If only we knew how."
The answer to this has been known for a long time already, and lies precisely in the findings of those "critics on the left": mutual aid and grassroots organizing.
It's endlessly frustrating how people insist on reinventing this wheel when the answer to this problem was already known decades ago, but repeatedly buried due to being politically inconvenient.
(It's even the same mechanism that's already accepted at a smaller scale - it's fairly widely accepted that openly discussing salaries helps to reduce salary inequality, for example, and the mechanism is the same for escaping from these bubbles in general)
