The tragedy of #Venezuela! In 1965 it was among the highest in GDP per capita and in a democracy. After the oil price rise it got even richer. With Chavez and Maduro (calling themselves socialists) it is as poor as Haiti & 1/3 of the population has emigrated!

Whether you believe #AI is a #bubble or not, what is true is that no bubble in history has ever been discussed so intensely before it crashes. People have usually believed it's up forever. I wonder if that could influence the outcome.

Well deserved Nobel Peace Prize to MarΓ­a Corina Machado. It will put the spotlight on the Venezuelan tragedy with its kleptocratic and repressive dictatorship. A ray of hope for the millions of us in the diaspora.

@johnthornhill.bsky.social's article in the @financialtimes.com draws on IIPP Honorary Professor @carlotaperez.bsky.social's research on technological revolutions and the cycles they tend to follow.

@pkrugman.bsky.social discussed in Substack Charlie Kirk’s success in attracting young men to MAGA by claiming back the 20th century roles of men and women in the workplace and in life. Only raising the salaries in 21st century services will provide satisfactory jobs for all.

Carlota PEREZ au Forum du Futuroscope 2025 (4/15) Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

In this talk for Futuroscope 2025 (with French subtitles) I say that populism happens midway along each technological revolution. The way out are policies creating new dynamic demand. Last time it was suburbanisation; this time it's reglobalisation for a North-South win-win game. urls.fr/xo9QKg

The difference is enormous between ivory tower academic institutions and IIPP, which produces scientific outputs and also connects with real world problems and works with real world leaders. These are times for policy and institutional innovation, so we need more academy-government links like this.

Thanks for valuing my work, Bryan. Theories do not belong to the author, but I hate to tell you that I don't think we're in deployment, but stuck in a financialised turning point, where resentment about creative destruction has given rise to populists. See: carlotaperez.org/wp-content/d...

Good point by β€ͺ@rainerkattel.bsky.social‬. He would agree that
not just the innovation agencies but the whole bureaucratic edifice needs modernisation. In fact, the necessary return of the State is not in Trump's tariff-mad mode, but in a creative way, providing directionality and missions.

@johnthornhill.bsky.social 's article interviewing me about a possible AI bubble collapse was widely read and commented and referred to in dozens of newspapers around the world. I guess financial bubbles spur information bubbles. Shame my next book is not at the publisher's yet!

If we want Bluesky to be a real alternative, we must be patient and persevere. This experience of being the pioneers must have been the same with Twitter in the early years. Most of us joined when it already had millions of people participating. The more active we are, the quicker Bluesky will grow.

After getting various answers from ChatGPT that obviously were based on Wikipedia, I asked it if Open AI supported Wikimedia. It found Apple, Google.org, plus individual donors like Omidyar Network did, but not OpenAI. So I asked it to prepare a call for social media. This is it. Let's use it:

Sorry. I just learned that it was only the House of Deputees that approved the euthanasia law. It now has to go to the Senate. Let's hope they confirm the unique and amazing democratic nature of Uruguay.

Uruguay recently approved providing a "painless and peaceful death, respecting the dignity of patients with an incurable or painful illness. Congratulations! How long will it still take for #euthanasia to become a human right across the world? Not soon, if Big Pharma can stop it.

We need to build Bluesky, so it becomes like Twitter used to be. But it takes time and patience and determination.

Indeed, Trump is wrong when thinking that the old factory jobs are what will "make America great again" but it's not because he's old; many old people like me understand technological revolutions and social progress.

The holocaust survivors would have found it impossible to believe that some of their descendants would inflict a similar genocidal treatment on another people

I just read a 2005 paper defending universal basic income by Philippe van Parijs. It's the best I've ever read and I really think #UBI is a key part of the 21st century welfare state: AI-distributed, dignity for all and the rich give it back in taxes:
