Humans: scientific giants, political morons, moral jerks

The complex social deformations we face have become a tightly knit system. But the key to bringing society on a more democratic track starts precisely with understanding how the knots are tied. We just finished COP28, twenty-eight years suggesting we have a problem. It is not a problem, it is a catastrophe.

A sociedade na era digital: um outro modo de produção

Os que comandam não são mais os capitães da indústria, e sim os que controlam os algoritmos, e o próprio dinheiro imaterial, no quadro da financeirização. As mudanças no capitalismo mundial são demasiado amplas para nos contentarmos com classificar o que hoje acontece como Indústria 4.0.

Wealth inequality in the world

An ethical challenge, source of political instability and economic stagnation. Inequality is exploding in the world, in great part linked to financialization. Capitalism is changing, speculation pays more than production, generating both social dramas and economic stagnation.
