Damian Carrington,  Environment Editor  -  The Guardian (U.K.)

_Stephan: Capitalism is fine, as long as there is one modification, the first priority must be that  your capitalism must be conducted in such a way that it promotes wellbeing.

** Not what I was expecting **
A while ago I was talking with someone about books. I mentioned that I like to read capital R romance novels, and like 19th century literary realism.

This person excitedly recommended Victor LaValle’s The Changeling. Knowing nothing about it, and because I pretty much say“yes” to any book recommendation I get from a real live person that I can find at the library, I’ve been reading it.

Public service announcement: markets & capitalism aren’t the same thing. You can have non-capitalist or even anti-capitalist markets (ex., cases where progressive taxes actually make rentseeking infeasible, or markets without private property). You can have capitalism without markets (like inside a corporation).

Trendism follows the logic of capital. The more capital you have, the less risk any investment is & the more you stand to gain from it. Given a diverse portfolio, a large investment will grow while a small one disappears: capital’s gravity at work.

In one sense, ‘the computer revolution is over’ because the period of exponential growth behind the tech ended 10 years ago. In another sense, it hasn’t begun: we have sheltered ourselves from the social and intellectual ramifications of computing. Documents are still simulations of paper, & capitalism still exists. So it’s like that period where printing presses existed but everybody used a faux-calligraphic font.
