The document discusses the paradox and unsustainability of capitalism. It notes that while capitalism currently provides for our survival through wages and services, it is also destroying the planet through issues like global warming, extinction, and war. The system requires endless growth but cannot last forever on a finite planet with ecological limits. There are proposals for post-capitalist economic systems to replace capitalism as it becomes obsolete. Possible futures discussed are militarized states and continued exploitation versus sustainable networks based on freedom and democracy. The conclusion calls for envisioning new ways of meeting needs sustainably and building a new world order.

This document introduces socialism as an alternative to capitalism. It argues that capitalism is an unjust, oppressive system that exploits workers for profit and leads to issues like racism, war, and global warming. While reforms have attempted to address its flaws, capitalism cannot be truly reformed and a new system is needed. Socialism is presented as this alternative, where the economy is brought under social control and ownership to prioritize meeting people's needs rather than profits. Some objections to socialism are addressed, but it maintains that the struggle for socialism is important despite challenges.
Position paper
Modern Liberalism evolved in response to the failures of Classical Liberalism during the Great Depression. Classical Liberalism failed to meet the needs of the masses, risking revolt and systemic collapse. Franklin Roosevelt introduced the New Deal, expanding executive power to intervene in the economy. This marked the beginning of Modern Liberalism in the United States. Modern Liberalism, influenced by the ideas of Keynes, takes from economic surpluses to provide assistance during downturns. This evens out booms and busts, preventing the accumulation of desperate populations that could destabilize the system. Canada provides an example of the stability and popularity of the Modern Liberal system, with an economy that has not drastically declined under its established form of governance.
Communism Vs Capitalism Debate Is A Battle Between Two Extreme Socioeconomic ...
This document compares and contrasts the ideologies of communism and capitalism. It discusses their differing views on ownership of production resources, individual freedom priorities, impacts on society, and tendencies regarding power distribution. Communism advocates common ownership and prioritizing social welfare, while capitalism promotes private ownership and individualism. Both have potential advantages but also risks of exploitation, inequality, or concentrating too much power.
Position paper
Roosevelt asked Congress for broad executive powers to address the economic crisis, marking the beginning of his New Deal program and the evolution of classical liberalism into modern liberalism. Throughout history, governing systems change and adapt to meet the needs of the people, as rejecting systems that no longer provide for needs has led to revolutions and new systems being formed by populations to better suit their needs. Liberalism itself was formed as a system to address needs that previous systems no longer met.
Thinking about Modern Capitalism
Just some quick slides on a Presentation that I prepared earlier this year on the topic of Capitalism in the 21st century (DBA Course).
Communism & Capitalism Notes
The document provides an overview of communism and capitalism. It discusses the key aspects of each system, including their theoretical foundations and benefits and drawbacks. Communism is defined as a system with collective ownership and a planned economy, as outlined by Karl Marx, while capitalism is based on individual ownership and competition as described by Adam Smith. The document also outlines Marx's theory of historical stages that societies progress through, starting with primitive communism and ending with full communism.
Capitalism and communism
The document summarizes and compares three economic systems - Capitalism, Utilitarianism, and Communism. For each system it outlines the motto, goal, explanations for poverty, approaches to helping the poor, role of government, and key thinkers. Capitalism's goal is private ownership and profit, with a minimal government role. Utilitarianism aims to maximize happiness for the greatest number through laws. Communism seeks public ownership and equality through revolution against private property and bourgeoisie class control over production.
Position paper
The document discusses how countries have responded to economic crises throughout history. It provides examples of both embracing modern liberalism as well as temporarily rejecting some liberal principles. The Great Depression is used as an example of how Franklin D. Roosevelt successfully fought the crisis by implementing New Deal programs and Keynesian economic policies, embracing modern liberalism. In contrast, Germany after WWI desperately rejected liberalism under Hitler, which ultimately failed and led to catastrophe. The document argues that rejecting liberalism can work temporarily in a crisis but should not become permanent, and modern liberalism is generally the best approach for long-term stability and growth.

Dek Keenan - What do we mean by socialism?
This document discusses different perspectives on socialism throughout history. It outlines examples of socialist movements from the Paris Commune of 1870 to present-day Zapatista communities in Mexico. It defines some key aspects of socialism as worker and community self-management, directly democratic structures, and the abolition of wage labor. The document raises questions about the role of trade unions and whether they can truly be "schools of socialism," or if another form of unionism is needed to advance socialist transformation.
Source analysis
The document discusses three different sources that analyze perspectives on government involvement in the economy.
Source 1 supports modern liberalism and Keynesian economics, arguing that government must fund social programs and intervene occasionally in markets to prevent poverty and ensure individuals can pursue happiness.
Source 2 criticizes socialism, arguing that hierarchical systems and human labor are necessary for production, supporting minimal government involvement.
Source 3 depicts wealthy capitalists questioning an economic boom's importance if everyone benefits, including the poor, implying support for classical liberalism and capitalism based on competition and individualism.
Responses to classical liberalism and the world of the industrial revolution
The document discusses several ideologies from the Industrial Revolution era:
1. Luddites protested against industrialization and mechanization that replaced skilled workers with machines operated by less skilled workers. Their leader was Ned Ludd.
2. Chartists demanded political and social reforms like universal male suffrage and annual elections. Their goals were outlined in the People's Charter of 1838. Leaders included William Lovett and Francis Place.
3. Socialists like Robert Owen believed resources should be publicly controlled to benefit all, with improved schooling, working conditions, and guaranteed employment.
4. Classical conservatives like Edmund Burke felt society should be structured hierarchically and represent the legacy of the past as well as current
Opposition to liberalism
The document discusses several different groups that opposed aspects of liberalism:
- Luddites were British factory workers in the early 1800s who destroyed machines to protest job losses due to the Industrial Revolution. They formed a group called the Army of Redressers.
- Chartists were British working class people in the 1830s-40s who advocated for electoral and political reforms, including universal male suffrage. Leaders included William Lovett and Francis Place.
- Utopian Socialists like Robert Owen believed in cooperative communities and worker education to improve conditions under capitalism and create a more humane society.
- Marxists drew from Karl Marx's theories of class struggle between the proletariat and bourgeoisie
Faith & Capitalism
The document discusses the differences between capitalism and socialism as economic systems. Capitalism is based on voluntary cooperation and individual initiative, while socialism relies on political coercion and central planning. Capitalism recognizes individual rights and responsibilities, while socialism treats citizens as needing care from cradle to grave. Capitalism allows the "invisible hand" of the free market to guide individuals' actions for mutual benefit, while socialism pursues the "common good" but often fails to respect individual freedom.
Reaction to classical liberalism 1
This document summarizes various reactions against classical liberalism in the 19th century. The Luddites opposed industrialization and smashed machinery in response to wage cuts and bans on unions. The Chartists advocated for political reforms like universal male suffrage. Socialists rejected the inequality of wealth distribution under liberalism and wanted public control of resources instead of private businesses. Utopian socialists aimed to modify the system through cooperation rather than competition. Marxists believed class warfare and revolution were needed to overthrow capitalism, making their views less accepted than reform-focused socialism.
New Ideas And The Rise Of Socialism
The document discusses the rise of new economic and political ideas in response to capitalism and laissez-faire economics in the 18th-19th centuries. It describes laissez-faire economics and how Adam Smith's ideas influenced capitalism. As populations and inequality grew, socialists advocated public ownership and greater protections for workers. Utilitarianism aimed to maximize welfare, while Marx argued capitalism divided society into the bourgeoisie and proletariat, and would be overthrown by communism as inequality increased further. Communism entailed complete public ownership with no private property and equal sharing of goods.
Africa and the crises of democratisation
This document provides a summary and analysis of an academic journal article about the crises of democratization in Africa. Some key points:
1) The article argues that analyses of Africa's democratization crises have failed to properly focus on its economic dynamics and drivers.
2) It contends that while the West presents democracy as something that can be imported to Africa, their actions through capital regimes have historically undermined Africa's economic progress and strengthened their own democracies.
3) The "capitalist law of uneven development" aids advanced capital in places like Europe and North America while underdeveloping democracy in Africa. This is seen as the root cause of Africa's democratization crises.
17. socialism
This document discusses the development of socialism and Marxism in response to the problems caused by industrialization in the 19th century. It outlines the ideas of utopian socialists like Fourier and Owen, before summarizing Karl Marx's scientific socialism which argued that capitalism would inevitably lead to revolution as the proletariat grew in size and oppression. It then discusses the varieties of socialism that emerged, including reform socialists, revolutionary Marxists, anarchists and syndicalists, as well as international socialist organizations like the First and Second Internationals. In conclusion, it examines the growth of socialist parties and unions in Germany and Britain in the late 19th century.
capitalism and communism
The document provides an overview of capitalism and communism. It describes capitalism as an economic system where private individuals and corporations own businesses and property, and wealth is distributed unevenly through private market forces. Communism is described as a system where the state or community owns all property and resources and wealth is distributed equally through a central authority. The document traces the origins and histories of both systems, with capitalism emerging in Europe in the 16th-18th centuries and communism founded by Karl Marx in the 1840s and first practiced in the Soviet Union. Major countries that have adopted each system are also listed.
Communism & Capitalism Quotes
The document contains quotes that compare and contrast communism and capitalism. It discusses how individuals pursuing self-interest, not government bureaus, have led to great achievements. One quote notes that under capitalism all men should have wealth, while under communism no man should have so much. Another quote states that communist production develops technology by exploiting workers and draining natural resources.
Responses to classical liberalism
The document compares and contrasts several different ideological responses to classical liberalism. It notes that Marxism and classical conservatism both reject economic freedom and competition, but for different reasons. They also both do not accept the beliefs and values of classical liberalism. However, they differ in that Marxism wants a completely new system of government while classical conservatism wants to return to past traditions. Welfare capitalism and the welfare state share similarities in wanting benefits for workers, but differ in whether those benefits should come from the government or private industry.
Overview of Socialism 12.08
The document provides an overview of the core doctrines and history of socialism, including:
1. Socialism is based on an optimistic view of human nature and a belief that humans operate best cooperatively in social groups through collectivism and egalitarianism.
2. There are two main strands of socialism - revolutionary socialism which seeks a complete overthrow of capitalism, and evolutionary socialism which seeks gradual reform through democratic means.
3. Utopian socialists in the 19th century tried to build ideal socialist societies, while Marxism sees socialism as inevitable due to conflicts between economic classes.
Socialism
Socialism originated in France during the French Revolution in 1789. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels referenced scientific socialism in their 1848 work The Communist Manifesto. Socialism is an economic system characterized by public ownership of major industries and centralized economic planning, with social ownership and distribution of profits among society rather than to private owners.
Source Analysis
Each source discusses individual interests within a collective community or society:
1. Source I supports a welfare state that allows individuals to freely pursue happiness through community support of basic needs.
2. Source II argues a socialist community fails to recognize individual economic interests and responsibilities which are needed for local and global sustainability.
3. Source III depicts wealthy men who feel an economic boom should only benefit their interests, not those of poorer individuals, showing a conflict between individual and collective interests within a society.
The sources relate in their discussion of balancing individual interests and the interests of the collective community, but differ in their views on how individual interests should be supported or prioritized within the collective.
Capitalism
This document contains a presentation arguing that capitalism is evil. It begins with an introduction of the presenter, D. Chowdhury, and their topic. The bulk of the document defines capitalism and discusses both its perceived advantages, such as growth and freedom, and disadvantages, like inequality, waste, pollution, and war driven by profit motives. It concludes by reiterating the position that capitalism only benefits the rich and is therefore another name for evil. The entire presentation is contained within this single document.
Socialism
Socialism is envisioned, created, governed, and approved by the people. It is based on public ownership of the means of production and cooperative social relations and self-management, as envisioned by thinkers like Fourier, Marx, and Lenin. While utopias like Thomas More's concept of Utopia and the Garden of Eden are unrealistic, capitalism has led to a dystopia where wealth belongs to individuals rather than mankind in general.
Socialism
During the Industrial Revolution, wealth became concentrated among few while most remained poor. Some believed the only way to change this uneven distribution was for workers to take control of the means of production from owners. Socialism proposed that the government owns and operates the means of production for the benefit of all. Karl Marx believed capitalism would lead to conflict between the bourgeoisie owners and proletariat workers, culminating in a classless communist society where people contribute and receive according to their abilities and needs. Variations of socialism include peaceful democratic socialism and revolutionary communism.
Socialism PPT
The document provides an overview of socialism as both an economic system and political ideology. It discusses key aspects of socialism such as public rather than private ownership of the means of production and the goal of fair distribution of wealth. Strengths noted include guaranteed minimum standards of living and greater equality, while weaknesses include reduced individual freedom and incentive under heavier government control and taxation. Different forms of socialism, including democratic socialism and socialism in historical contexts, are also outlined.
Agnosticism
1) Agnostics believe that the existence of God is unknown and unknowable.
2) The document argues against the agnostic view by pointing to evidence for God from biblical prophecies, eyewitness accounts in the Bible, and intricate design in nature like the human brain and body.
3) It claims that one must seek God wholeheartedly to find truth about his existence, rather than remaining agnostic or indifferent.
Evidence 1
The document outlines a testing and training timeline for a performer to improve over 8 weeks between May 2022 and March 2023. It includes 2 targets to improve speed by reducing a 35m sprint time by half a second and to improve finishing by scoring 7 out of 10 shots by the end of training. Justifications are provided for both targets focusing on improving the athlete's individual performance and contribution to their team.
Fashion fade, style is eternal
The document discusses fashion trends of the 1920s and 21st century. In the 1920s, large dresses with accessories were popular and women's fashion became more unisex with shorter haircuts. Today's fashion allows people to create their own self-image and identity with trends like v-neck shirts and skinny pants being popular for both men and women. While 1920s fashion was more censored, current fashion is seen as being more tight-fitting and adjustable to different body types. Younger people tend to appreciate modern trends more than older people.

Warning about our new era and 4 ir
Every industrial revolution had its pluses and minuses. The fourth industrial revolution has its own dark side. It's up to the global thought, business, and government leaders to minimize them.
Warning about our new era and 4IR
Explaining the rise of anxiety, discomfort, and stress over the fourth industrial revolution, which represents the dawn of another significant era that will revolutionize our civilization to the same degree as the first two revolutions. The first two revolutions took humans away from the agrarian lifestyle and launched the industrial era and lifestyle. 4IR will have the same impact as we are entering an era of high tech. It's called The Digital Era, but it's more than that.
Marxism
Karl Marx was a 19th century philosopher who developed the theories of communism and socialism. He believed that capitalism inevitably leads to conflict between the bourgeoisie (the owners of capital) and the proletariat (workers). This will culminate in revolution and the establishment of a socialist dictatorship of the proletariat, followed by a stateless, classless communist society. Marx outlined the historical stages from primitive communism to capitalism to socialism to communism. He argued capitalism concentrates wealth among the few and alienates workers, but is a necessary step toward the ultimate liberation of humanity under communism.

Man as social being Chapter 7
This document discusses man's nature as a social being and the need for society. It covers several perspectives on this from philosophers like Aristotle, Hobbes, and theorists of socialism and communism. Socialism and communism are discussed as responses to the perceived abuses of capitalism, with socialism focusing on workers owning production and communism seeking a future classless society through revolution and suppression of opposition. The document contrasts communist means versus ends, with means involving coercion and ends envisioning an ideal cooperative society.
hazlitt1
The document summarizes a fictional socialist society called Wonworld that is described in a story. It has four strict social classes determined by the government that people are born into. Private property does not exist and the government controls all aspects of life through Five-Year Plans. People live in constant fear of being sent to correction camps for disobeying the government or not meeting production quotas. Incentives for work come only from fear of punishment rather than personal profit. The society lacks freedom and opportunity for social mobility compared to a capitalist system.

cosmopolitanism and global justice
The document discusses the concept of cosmopolitanism and cosmopolitan social democracy. It traces the origins of cosmopolitanism back to ancient Greek philosophers. It examines Kant's formulation of cosmopolitan right and defines cosmopolitanism as the ideology that all humans belong to a single community based on shared morality. The document then analyzes the regulatory principles of cosmopolitan social democracy, such as egalitarianism and treating all individuals with equal worth. However, critics argue that cosmopolitan social democracy is inappropriate, impractical, and irrelevant given cultural diversity and challenges of effective global governance.

DEPENDENCE IN AN INTERDEPENDENT WORLD: THE LIMITED
POSSIBILITIES OF TRANSFORMATION WITHIN THE
CAPITALIST WORLD ECONOMY
Immanuel Wallerstein
"Dependence" has become the latest euphemism in a long list of
such terms. No doubt its original intent was critical. The term itself
emerged out of the "structuralist" theories of Latin American scholars
and was meant as a rebuttal to "developmentalist" or "modernization"
theories and "monetarist" policy views.1 Andrd Gunder Frank has traced
its intellectual origins and its limitations in a recent combative paper
entitled "Dependence is dead; long live dependence and the class strug-
gle. "2
We live in a capitalist world economy, one that took definitive
shape as a European world econany in the sixteenth century (see Waller-
stein 1974) and came to include the whole world geographically in the
ninteenth century. Capitalism as a system of production for sale in a
market for profit and appropriation of this profit on the basis of in-
dividual or collective ownership has only existed in, and can be said to
require, a world system in which the political units are not co-extensive
with the boundaries of the market economy. This has permitted sellers
to profit from strengths in the market whenever they exist but enabled
them simultaneously to seek, whenever needed, the intrusion of political
entities to distort the market in their favor. Far from being a system
of free competition of all sellers, it is a system in which competition
becomes relatively free only when the economic advantage of upper strata
is so clear-cut that the unconstrained operation of the market serves
effectively to reinforce the existing system of stratification.
This is not to say that there are no changes in position. Quite
the contrary. There is constant and patterned movement between groups
of economic actors as to who shall occupy various positions in ...
Capitalism vs Socialism
The document summarizes and compares the key criticisms of capitalism and socialism. Regarding capitalism, critics note that the free market can be unstable and present dangers to the vulnerable. Critics of socialism argue that heavy taxation to provide equal social services discourages business innovation since profits do not directly benefit owners. The document then provides more in-depth descriptions of capitalism and socialism, including their defining characteristics, philosophical underpinnings, pros and cons according to different thinkers. In conclusion, the author personally supports capitalism over socialism due to the importance of individual economic freedom and right to private property.
project documents
The document discusses several issues with the current global system including rising organized violence, wealth disparity, poverty, and environmental degradation. It argues that the system has been manipulated over time to serve elite interests and control the means of production. The extreme form of capitalism in recent decades has led to a debt-based system rather than free markets. This has negative consequences like job losses. Terrorism is driven by deprivation of resources and destruction of livelihoods. The clash of civilizations will be a major source of conflict. Real reforms are needed in financial systems and addressing injustice to reduce terrorism. An individual cannot change the whole system but dedicating oneself to a cause and gaining self-knowledge is important.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

History
- 1. Capitalism - Future Perspectives
- 2. The paradox of Capitalism ● There is a paradox at the heart of this global power structure we live in, known as capitalism. It is the result of two contradictory truths ● The first truth is that capitalism is destroying our planet. Through global warming, extinction, impoverishment, racism, sexism, homophobia, propaganda, war, the burgeoning security state, computerized isolation, and more, it is literally killing us.
- 3. ● The second truth is that we are dependent upon capitalism for our immediate survival. Whether through wages, pensions, or social services, our livelihood depends on income provided by the very system which is killing us. ● Most of us would like to avoid facing this paradox, and so delude ourselves into apathy, nihilism, and cynicism. We accept the system’s offer of fantasy and mute our inherent knowledge of the deep wrongness that pervades the real world.
- 5. ● Capitalism requires growth. ● A system that requires growth cannot last forever on a planet that is defined by ecological and social limits. ● Capitalism is therefore fundamentally unsustainable – sooner or later it will run up against those limits and the system will stop functioning.
- 6. Post-Capitalism ? What comes after capitalism....
- 7. Post-Capitalism continued..... ● Post-capitalism includes a number of proposals for a new economic system to replace capitalism ● How it's going to happen? -According to some Classical Marxist and some social evolutionary theories, post-capitalist society may come about as a result of spontaneous evolution as capitalism becomes obsolete. -Others propose models to intentionally replace capitalism
- 8. Future? ● Possible Futures: 1) Militarized states and continued plunder 2) Sustainable networks rooted in freedom, justice, and democracy ● We are living through one of the most transformative periods in history, and our actions will likely determine the outcome.
- 9. Summarizing ….. ● Now is a perfect opportunity to envision a new way of living in the world that can meet human needs while also respecting the needs of the planet. It is time to build this new world. ● Disassembling capitalism, if it’s possible at all, is likely to follow a long chain of economic and climatic disasters. One post-capitalist solution will not fit all.
