Political Economy of Information Industry - Suresh Kodoor
The transition from a manufacturing and product based economy, which primarily produces tangible goods, to an economy which is extensively 'knowledge-oriented' and dominated by information goods has been dramatic. The key drivers for the transition have been the globalization and the emergence of 'self-acting' transnational finance capital. Under the current system of economic organization, Information has seen increasingly being monopolized, sold and manipulated through restrictive legal regime with a single motive of furthering the profit for transnational corporations. The monopoly rights on the information acts as the key reason behind the ability of the Information technology companies to amass huge wealth and unreasonable profit. These companies are being evaluated in the 'speculative' market rather than based on the real assets helps them to project a highly inflated valuation in the stock market compared to traditional brick and mortar companies. Such speculative evolution and transactions with a disconnect from the real asset and economy leads to the formation of a parallel virtual economy which is vulnerable to the high instabilities and bubble formations.
The fourth edition of our annual State of Power report, coinciding with the international meeting in Switzerland of what Susan George calls “the Davos class”. This series seeks to examine different dimensions of power, unmask the key holders of power in our globalised world, and identify sources of transformative counter-power.

The article illustrates the results of the economic development of the first fifteen years of the XXI century under the conditions of unprecedented economic freedom, globalization and the appearance of new informational sectors up to and including the first attempts at revising liberalism. The analysis of statistical data demonstrates an obvious increase in the percentage of well-off people in many countries as well as the increased economic capabilities of small, medium and large businesses, whose assets are distributed among an ever-increasing number of owners. This provides the impetus to review our collective approach to liberalization and globalization, as well as to view its unexpected strong sides that make human progress possible.

Reform COVID19's Inequality to Avoid RevolutionsPaul H. Carr
COVID19 amplifies inequality, increasing tensions between poor Blacks, Whites, Police, and Immigrants. Economically disadvantaged Blacks joined by Whites are taking to the streets to demand reform. Economic inequality contributed to the French Revolution and to our Civil War, with the most casualties in our history.
We need reform to prevent revolutions. Karl Marx’s wrote his 1847 Communist Manifesto in response the newly rich industrialist’s exploitation of the poor workers in England. During this time, author Charles Dickens, as a boy, had to work ten-hour shifts pasting labels on bottles to support this family, because his father was confined in Debtor’s Prison.
In 1917,Trotsky led the Communist Revolution in Russia that ousted the Tsars’ monarchy. In 1924 Stalin emerged as the leader of the USSR. After WWII, the US fought the Korean and Vietnam Wars to stop the Communists from overrunning the world.
The rich, miserly Scrooge in Charles Dickens’ “Christmas Carol” underwent a conversion to a generous person who celebrated Christmas. In contrast to the Communist revolution, this can be a metaphor for the rule of law that enabled the US to overcome worker exploitation. The US passed child, labor, and anti-trust laws that constrained the power of the rich industrialists.
Since the 1980s, hourly worker pay has not increased in proportion to inflation and increased productivity. This disparity is increasing economic inequality. Most of the increased productivity pay has gone to those with education beyond a bachelor’s degree.
The minimum federal pay of $7.25 per hour has not been increased for over a decade. To keep up with inflation and productivity increases, the minimum wage should be gradually advanced to $ 20 per hour. Recently the minimum wage in Washington, DC increased to $14 per hour.
The property tax that funds public schools results in poor neighborhoods having poor schools and rich neighborhoods having good schools. State, federal, and corporate funds are needed to keep poor kids from being locked into poverty. Our high tech civilization needs an educated workforce. Let’s educate our poor rather than import educated immigrants. We must also reform our tax structure and corporate policies.

Globalization and Structural Shifts in the Developed World – from Industriali...Economic Policy Dialogue
Globalization has changed the developed world structurally from industrial to de-industrialization to post-industrial economies. Present commentary intrigues a connection between the global-penetration and stages of industrial activity and then explores the resultant outcomes relating to the social, economic, political, and foreign influence. It establishes from a list of evolving factors that how the shifts in these economies from industrial to de-industrialization and post-industrial phases are not a result of mere organic economic progression; these are shaped by the conscious actions of the national and international players. Cheaper goods and services in exchange of income, employment and domestic economies raise a question mark on the trade-off led by the liberalized globalization.
Translation of a June 2012 article by Jorge Majfud (http://www.majfud.org) which ran on Alai-AmLatina (https://www.alainet.org/es/active/55384). Given that a multinational like McDonald's has its workers use "food stamps" (strictly speaking, Supplemental Nutritional Asssistance Program) as reported in such.... radical outlets like The Atlantic & Business Insider (https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/10/instead-living-wage-mcdonalds-tells-workers-sign-food-stamps/309625/ & https://www.businessinsider.com/mcdonalds-mcresources-hotline-tells-nancy-salgado-to-get-on-food-stamps-2013-10), I'd say Majfud's piece is close to the mark. If not right on target.
This translation is somewhat more "liberal"/"flexible" although I tried to stay as close as possible to the source text. Some phrases that I used such as "Big Business" and "pretty penny" may be more appropriate for American English audiences, which is just as well given the McDonald's-food stamp incident. I originally translated the title as "Unemployment's double game" but I decided to give this upload another title: "The unemployment shell game". "The unemployment scam" works just as well. The broader point still stands. All errors are mine.

Article: The Criminality of Wall Street
Tabb, William K. Monthly Review66.4 (Sep 2014): 13-22.
The current stage of capitalism is characterized by the increased power of finance capital. How to understand the economics of this shift and its political implications is now central for both the left and the larger society. There can be little doubt that a signature development of our time is the growth of finance and monopoly power.1
In 1980 the nominal value of global financial assets almost equaled global GDP. In 2005 they were more than three times global GDP.2 The nominal value of foreign exchange trading increased from eleven times the value of global trade in 1980 to seventy-three times in 2009.3 Of course it is not certain what this increase means, since such nominal values can fluctuate widely, as we saw in the Great Financial Crisis. They cannot be compared directly and without all sorts of qualifications to the value added in the real economy. But they do give an impressionistic sense of the enormous magnitude by which finance grew and came to dominate the economy. Between 1980 and 2007, derivative contracts of all kinds expanded from $1 trillion globally to $600 trillion.4 Hedge funds and private equity groups, special investment vehicles, and mega-bank holding companies changed the face of Western capitalism. They also brought on the collapse from which we still suffer. Ordinary people may not be acquainted with the numbers (and even those best informed are not sure of their significance), but people generally understand in different and often deep ways what has been happening: namely, an ongoing process of financialization that has come to dwarf production.
What is particularly important is that despite the huge bubble created by this metastasizing growth of finance, the economy did not expand as rapidly as it had in the postwar years, before the goods producing industries lost ground in terms of employment to other sectors of the economy, and when government spending was used actively to promote growth. While the nature of much of the growth that occurred then is certainly open to criticism from all sorts of standpoints, at the time there was widespread understanding in policy circles that government spending was.

The U.S. balance of payments: wide-
spread misconceptions and exaggerated
worries
• The U.S. balance of payments is by far the most confusing and least
understood area of the U.S. economy. The confusion is centered around the
large and rapidly growing deficits. Indeed, the deficit on the current account of
the balance of payments rose to new records, both in absolute and relative
terms.
• These developments created worries and fears regarding the sustainability of
the external deficits. However, closer examination of the issue shows that the
worries and fears are exaggerated and, most importantly, there are no short-
and medium-term solutions because of a number of structural reasons.

Economics 3
The U.S. balance of payments is by far the most confusing and least
understood area of the U.S. economy. The confusion is centered
around the large and rapidly growing deficits. Indeed, the deficit on
the current account of the balance of payments rose from USD 474
billion in 2002 to USD 531 billion in 2003 and is estimated to reach
over USD 600 billion in 2004 (see table 1). In relative terms, the
deficits amount to 4.5%, 4.9% and 5.3% of GDP, respectively, in
those years. Both in absolute and relative terms, these are all-time
records.
The sustainability of external deficits
Persistent and rising external deficits have attracted increasing at-
tention of politicians, economists and the media. Needless to say,
the deficits are generally viewed as highly negative for the U.S.
economy and U.S. financial conditions. The main points of concern
are:
• Rising foreign indebtedness that might create financial difficulties
over time.
• A potential massive dollar depreciation needed to rectify the
situation.
• In an extreme case, a financial crisis as foreigners refuse to fi-
nance U.S. deficits and switch their capital to other places.
The media, regardless of their political outlook, have been
commenting on the U.S. external deficits for quite some time,
spreading fear and predicting all sorts of calamities, which
apparently sells newspapers well. About five years ago, in the fall of
1999, The New York Times ran an article with a pointed headline:
“The United States sets a record for living beyond its means;” and a
Barron’s article talked about a current account crisis and a ticking
time bomb.

how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the telegram id of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

By Jimmy Webb
CHORUS
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

60. Digitas' Proprietary Study
"Affluence in America: The New Consumer Landscape
53% of the Once-dominant "Mass Affluent" ($100-199K
income) Now Consider Themselves Middle Class;
Rise of the "Class Affluent" ($200K + income) and the
"Emerging Affluent" (35 years old or younger)
The study reveals that the future of affluence is not like the past,
and that "mass affluence" has given way to the spending power of
the truly and the up-and-coming affluent -- the "Class Affluent"
and the "Emerging Affluent.“
61. Digitas' Proprietary Study
"Affluence in America: The New Consumer Landscape"
The Mass Affluent ($100-$199K household income level) has
disappeared.
They don't have the leveraged spending power they once had and now
have to live on income alone. Not surprisingly, an overwhelming
majority (53%) classify themselves as middle class. They have been
replaced by:
The Class Affluent -- earn $200K HHI or more yearly and 54%
classify themselves as upper-middle class.
The Emerging Affluent -- earn $100-$199K; same as the Mass
Affluent YET are under 35 years old.
62. Digitas' Proprietary Study
"Affluence in America: The New Consumer Landscape"
The Rise of the Class Affluent (in a "class" by themselves):
Earns between $200K HHI (the minimum threshold for true affluence in America
according to our findings) and $1 million+ HHI annually.
Represents the minority -- only 8.5 million in a country of 307 million people.
Three tiers of Class Affluence.
The Affluent -- $200K–$499K HHI -- The Creative Class: The Affluent are the
creative class. They are likely to work in creative fields or industries, like software
design, publishing, architecture, advertising, or journalism.
The Wealthy -- $499K–$999K HHI -- The Money Class: Likely to work in
Finance and Consulting.
The Rich -- $1 million+ HHI -- The Leadership Class: They are individuals who
run companies and influence industry. They command the highest incomes and
make decisions that affect many. They can be found in high-income careers, like
financial or legal services, or break-out industries like Internet properties/services
or real estate.
63. Digitas' Proprietary Study
"Affluence in America: The New Consumer Landscape"
Emerging Affluent: 5.5 million people who are currently in the work force and on their
way to affluence.
They have the same HHI as the Mass Affluent ($100K–$199K) but are younger, under
35.
The Emerging Affluent work in careers that will eventually deliver affluence --
financial services, legal services, and engineering -- but they are still in the low to
middle management tiers.
This group has all the attitudes of the truly affluent. They consider themselves opinion
leaders, follow trends, love to travel, and are passionate about food and dining. They
pursue both stylish youth-oriented brands like Scion, Diesel, and Samsung and true
luxury brands like H. Stern, Tiffany, St. Ives, and D&G.
What sets this group apart from all others is their intensely digital media
behavior. Universally digital, members of this class use mobile devices for
communicating, consuming content, enjoying music, and gaming. They use social
networks and blog, and they prefer apps to 411 to research restaurants, recommend
products, or get deals from marketers.
